I am Alive!

Wow, I never expected how much of my life would be taken up in batteling this disease. I just wanted to leave a short message, cause its past my bed time, to let you all know that things are going well. After a year of IV antibiotics and two picc lines, things are looking up. I have been on oral antibiotics for about three months now and I have to say that they are waaaaaay nicer on the body than the IV's. Right now I am dealing with minor health problems that are popping up here and there and I am doing my best to take care of them one by one. I hope now that I can spen a little more time sharing with you what the past year has been like and to continue to keep you updated on what is happening now. Let me close by expressing my gratitude to all my family, friends, and students that have supported me. Every thought, prayer, words of encouragement, etc.,  has given me so much strength and a desire to keep fighting. Its the small things that really matter, so thank you, and God bless you.
