Ive been so very busy with constant IVs, detox treatments and such…  Tomorrow morning at 8am, I will go into my first full body hyperthermia treatment of the two I do here. Please pray for my nervousness to be taken away. I am emotional about it, and it’s keeping me from sleeping and enjoying life. I know without a doubt that this is the treatment that God has for us, so I will do it and be half way through after tomorrow, but I need peace. Cory needs peace. Our entire family could use extra prayers, encouragement and Gods perfect peace right now and all day tomorrow!  We are 9 hours ahead of west coast time…  So, I’ll be heading into treatment between 11:30pm- midnight in Bend.  Treatment should last about 6 hours plus admitting and recovery. It’ll seem like a long day for Cory, my parents, and kiddos here, but as soon as I’m done, someone will send out a Facebook message on my account letting everyone know how it went!

Thank you for your prayers as we kill off these nasty bugs in my body!  Doctors say this should kill them all, but we will do a second one next week just to make sure!

Today was also our little Peanuts 6th birthday and we had a great rainy day at an indoor park, had a horse themed party and picnic-style dinner on the floor of the hotel, and ate lemon and raspberry gelato cake to celebrate our joy filled little Grey Everly!

Love you all❤️

Sincerely, Dani

Here we are at the end of a very busy day TWO!  We didn’t sleep a wink last night as our hospital beds are quite hard, but the staff here is so helpful and they brought me a topper and Cory a new mattress and we are hopeful that tonight will be full of deep rest!  No rest makes me more emotional than normal… and I would really like to hold it together the best I can for the kids!  Please pray for me to continue being strong for all of us, but especially those three littles that I love so much!

My morning started with blood draws bright and early, I began my antibiotic regiment, then we snuck out for a much better breakfast with the family at the hotel across the street!!!  Yay me… I struggle with hospital meals.  Then we came back and started our tests that looked something like this:

-neurological eye testing

-metabolic picture testing… they use this in the NASA program

-a heart stress test

-life quality evaluation

Then I had a short break so we came back to the hospital room and started my IV of Selenium for the next hour… then went back up to the second floor for a detox foot bath and magnetic field treatment.

We finished this all up and left for dinner again tonight and enjoyed some delicious italian food literally next door to both the hospital and hotel… I LOVE how convenient this placement in the center of town is for all of us to maximize our time together!

Mom and Daddy took the kiddos to a super fun water park and they all soaked up the sunshine as it is supposed to start raining all day for the next few days tomorrow… they all had a great time and were worn out for naps all around!

I am going to be careful posting pictures until we are back home of some specific things… but here is a recap of our day in pics… minus treatment pictures for now!

We love and miss you all… but are looking forward to another full day ahead and the last day we have a five year old… EVER!

P.S.  I am sooooo grateful that Cory has been able to come to each treatment with me today… helped it all feel better and less alone in it!  He’s the best and I am so richly blessed to have him!

Sincerely, Dani

1 Thessalonians 5:16-18 NLT

16 Always be joyful. 17 Never stop praying. 18 Be thankful in all circumstances, for this is God’s will for you who belong to Christ Jesus.

I finally have internet access on my laptop and can tell you about our first day in the hospital/ Klinik!  yippee!

Yesterday, Sunday August 7th was our check-in day.  We had a very hard time waking up in time for breakfast at the hotel, so Cory went and brought us all food to our room.  Thanks Babes… this 9 hour time difference has been rough on us all.  We checked into our hospital room at noon and asked when the Doctor would be by for our initial chat.  We didn’t have to be back until 5pm, so we took the kiddos to the park behind the hospital and found a fun mini golf place too!  We played the Spiel golf which is like a cross between pool and mini golf.  The park is beautiful and we soaked up all the time we could as a family!  We then went back to the hotel to rest and re-pack Cory and my belongings and arrived at the Klinik again at 5pm.

We met a wonderfully kind doctor who filled us in on what these two weeks will look like while here, she set an IV line in my arm just in case I had a seizure again.  We were then able to go back to the hotel to have dinner with my parents and kiddos… this was a surprise to us, as we thought we would have to stay here the entire time.  We said goodnight after a later dinner and unpacked our bags at about 10pm and then Cory started working for the night.  The night nurse came in to take my temperature and to give me Monday’s schedule.

Here are some pics from our fun at the park, and what our room looks like…

Thank you sooooooooo much for your continued prayers for all 7 of us!  We need them and feel God making ways and going before us in the little things for sure!

Sincerely, Dani

Philippians 4:4-9 NKJV

4 Rejoice in the Lord always. Again I will say, rejoice!

5 Let your gentleness be known to all men. The Lord is at hand.

6 Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God; 7 and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.

8 Finally, brethren, whatever things are true, whatever things are noble, whatever things are just, whatever things are pure, whatever things are lovely, whatever things are of good report, if there is any virtue and if there is anything praiseworthy—meditate on these things. 9 The things which you learned and received and heard and saw in me, these do, and the God of peace will be with you.

Three more nights until we head out.

Two more doctors appointments for each of us.

Our almost 6 year olds’ gifts are wrapped and packed.

I still need to pack 5 carry ons.

I need to buy snacks for our trip.

… And in between packing, doctors appts, and errands, we are trying to soak up the moments at home with our bunch  they’re squeezing every last second out of pond swimming, hammock swinging, Olympic balance beam routines, loving on our ranch pets…  especially Jake and the kittens…  These are the moments that make you stop, smile and remember how much I have to keep being strong for!

Were getting so close to go-time!  We wanted to say a HUGE thank you to each of you who have brought a meal our way, for my Gpa who picked up my prescription and took the car to get its oil changed today, for everyone who has sacrificed funds for us to be able to go to Germany, and for every single prayer…  We LOVE each and every one of you!!!

Sincerely, Dani
