My Hero...

As I mentioned in an earlier post, my wife is going through a "clean out" (or "tune up", depending on who you talk to) for her cystic fibrosis.

The first week was a bitch. Insomnia, soreness, etc. due to side effects from the medication. She takes heavy doses of antibiotics intravenously twice a day, while working part time, being a step-mother to two teenagers, and living with me (the real challenge). In other parts of the country, and in Europe, people are routinely admitted into the hospital for these treatments.

Her second week was better after a medication change. She starts her third week today. Yeah!! Thanks for your prayers and thoughts. Down the stretch we come...

My wife is my hero, and my best friend. I am most blessed.
