things are looking up

well as i sit here looking out my window it looks like a beautiful warm spring day outside...but we all know it is more like the first week of january out there! bRrRrRr!!! freeezing. this weather, unfortunately, has made me take a small step back:( ...lets start from the beginning. this weekend was fabulous! my last fever was wednesday of last week! the prednisone and cipro seem to be working wonders...who knew?! my appetite has slowly but surely been increasing. my energy is also coming back ever so slightly. i am actually looking forward to meal time-and not dreading it. and i actually want to run errands and get out of the house now. its wonderful! yesterday, however, the absolutely ridiculously cold weather hit and kinda knocked me off my rocker. it wasn't as bad as it could've been, but it wasn't my best day of the past week. i just was tired and felt yucky all day. had a terrible headache and was just kinda achy all over. im certain it is the weather. luckily for me my appetite remains great so im eating as often as possible to put this much needed weight back on. im not having stomach cramps near as often as i was; i think the c diff is finally clearing up! things seem to be going uphill! finally, i can see a glimmer of that silver lining! YAY!

i have a doctor's appt tom. im not sure what will happen. i know my weight is down, down. i think they will be completely understanding considering the past month. its just convincing them that i am capable of putting the weight back on by myself. {which i am very positive i can do} also, im sure i will have to do PFT's {pulmonary function test- a test to measure how well my lungs are working} i haven't done them in a few months, and im very nervous as to how they will turn out. i feel pretty good lung wise- but that doesn't mean anything. i've gone in before feeling my 100% best and the tests were awful; and i've gone in feeling awful and they weren't too bad. so really i don't know what to expect.

im a little nervous about it all, so pray the Lord gives me peace, and i can relax and do my best.

i will let you know how everything goes!

until then,

leigh allyn

Prayers:
~everything will go okay at the dr tom
~i can relax and concentrate on the appt & not worry about it
