I’ve been having some hard days and nights lately, which is my only excuse for not blogging.  I have been hit with crazy emotional struggles, and on Monday, just spent all parts of my day crying randomly.  I don’t’ have a specific reason for the tears, just a lot of smaller things lumped into one big “cry-fest” I guess.  The kiddos are struggling being alone so much, I am worn out by all the doctors appointments each day of each week, Cory is worn out by his IV’s as well, and the stresses financially seem too much to bear right now.  Life is pulling at all corners and we are feeling so-not-good at anything being spread so very thin.  However, we are hanging in here and today is a new day… one where I have scratched so many items off my ever-growing To-Do List, we each had a successful set of IV’s, I spent time watching the kiddos swim and giggle in the hot sunshine, and Cory is trying his darndest to work really hard!

Thank you to each of you who has helped with dinners… we are sooooooo very blessed by the food!  Thank you to everyone who has shared our story with friends, family, TV stations, newspapers, etc…  we are raising awareness and hundreds of thousands of Lyme patients just within the USA are going to reap the benefits of your efforts.  Thank you so much for the financial help… we have so far to go, but every selfless gift both big and small is a massive help in this battle we’re facing!  We are only 9 days away from flying out and we have so much yet to do…  please pray for safety- driving, flying, traveling, focus for Cory working, ease of cleaning the house and getting packed up, strength for each day for all five of us, and for the finances to get the treatment we all desperately need!

Thank you, thank you, thank you all!

Sincerely, Dani

I’m sooooo tired, so I’ll make this short tonight. Cory and I were at the doctor shortly after 8 am today. Cory started his IV therapy today to prepare for Germany with PTC and Glutathione. His IVs went well, but it was so hard to see him start this battle with me…  You know how you’d take all the hurt away from your loved ones if you could?  Well, in this case I’ve given it all to them instead. 😩  I cannot go back in time. I can’t dwell in the past. And I cannot beat myself up anymore…  Now is the time to move on and count blessings, so that’s where I’m trying to stay each moment of each and every day!

I began my morning with Neuro Prolotherapy.  Another first for me today, and a welcomed one in hopes of eliminating my constant head, neck and shoulder pain. The doctor injected about a dozen sites with dextrose…  I could honestly feel some relief instantly. My pain is not gone, but it is a couple levels lower up there…  And I’ll take that as I’ve had my migraine for about 11 weeks now without relief.  I also started high dose vitamin c infusions today which after we finally gave up on getting my veins to cooperate for the catheter, took about 1 1/2 hours to receive. We had to forego the catheter again today as my veins collapsed three times again and I’m quite bruised for the day.

Im having a better day than yesterday for sure, and I’m soooooo thankful!  Thank you for your prayers today, I really felt them!

Unfortunately, Cory has not been feeling so well…  Poor guy has been struggling with severe brain fog, and just all over feeling awful. He ended his day by coming down with one of his horrible migraines that he can get from time to time. He’s been in bed since early evening and in so much pain. Please pray that this passes and doesn’t keep him up all night.

I head back to the doctor tomorrow morning for more IVs and then for a colonic early afternoon. We will also try to place the catheter again tomorrow…

They looked happy here though… We snuck out quickly and got some birthday gift ideas for little Grey Everly who will turn 6 in Germany! Silly kiddos!❤️

Special prayer request for today:  kiddos need to hear some good news soon. Maybe see mom and daddy feeling good, less stressed, and able to play with them for a bit…  Even just a short time!  They have not complained, but I’m gone a lot now and they are spending so much time alone and I can see the worry on all three of their faces at times.

Sure love each of you!  Thank you for your prayers, support, and shares!  One thing I know…  God is good all the time!  ALL the time!
Psalm 27:13-14(NIV)

13 I remain confident of this:
I will see the goodness of the Lord
in the land of the living.
14 Wait for the Lord;
be strong and take heart
and wait for the Lord.

Sincerely, Dani
