Update on me

I didn't realize how long I'd gone without updating my Facebook page or this blog.....

Anyway, for those who are interested, here's what's going on with me:

I've been quite ill for several months. I've lost over 30 lbs and get sick whenever I try to eat anything other than rice. I've been going through various medical tests, but we still don't know what's wrong. I have inflammation in my stomach (but we don't know why), a hiatus hernia (probably caused by the puking rather than vice versa) and some weird heart stuff....but as far as we can tell, no real reason for all the other symptoms. I'll be seeing an allergist in a couple of weeks, and food allergies seem likely to me, since the symptoms seem so food-related. I'm also going to the Mayo Clinic in Scottsdale in a couple of weeks. I don't actually feel that bad if I only eat rice....except that I'm really tired, bruising and obviously malnourished...and underweight. My mom is staying with me for a few weeks to help out. Anyhow, prayers and positive thoughts are all appreciated! Everyone has been really caring and wonderful.
