Mito Testing and Midwest Travelling


Health update:

There actually isn't much to tell at this point.  The preliminary blood work came back from Dr. Cohen.  There were some abnormalities, but not not enough to make a firm diagnosis.  He is currently working on testing the tissue from the biopsy as well as doing DNA testing for a specific mitochondrial disease.  My job at this point is to just wait.

I did try the new med, Epogen, for a month.  I was not able to continue taking it because it caused an increase in my fatigue.  I'm glad I had the opportunity to try it, but I'm a little bit glad that it didn't work because it is a painful shot!  I would rather have an easier-to-take, less painful medicine.   

Regular Life Update:

We recently went on a trip to the Midwest to visit family members and go to my brother's wedding.  The trip was exhausting for me, but we had a wonderful time.  It was good to see friends and family members again whom we hadn't seen in a year or more.  While at Will's dad's house, we also enjoyed being outside, playing with dogs, and holding adorable puppies

Puppies make me happy.
