I had no idea how long it had been until someone got in touch with me. Five months, really??
All I can say is I am sorry, and it was not intentional. Have been and was thinking of so many of you, I just didn't get here.
Will see if I can make this long story shorter.
I have been fighting Lyme Disease for now 18 weeks. When it started it hit me rather hard as I also had Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever. You would of thought I had two heads because people do not get both. I was so swollen and so broke out, even I didn't know the person in the mirror. I have been to several disease specialist to help me get through, deal with both. I can say I am now testing negative for RMSF. The Lyme continues and some days are better than others. It is so exhausting to have, on most days I hope to get through work then come home and crash. I'd get on the computer and have a million emails not even realizing I hadn't checked them in over a week. After having complete over all physical, a few other things were found but I believe are under control. Right now the biggest things are my legs. I can get cramps in them that last well over an hour before I can get rid of them. My legs don't always listen to what it is I'm trying to tell them. I also have a stress fracture in my right leg and muscle separation, the answer as to why is still up for debate. It has been such a long road, I haven't talked to many, do not want to sound like I am whining, so have communicated with very few. I have dealt with this for the most part on my own. For those that know me I am sure reading I have not talked much is hard to believe.
Have also had several personal issues I have had to deal with, combine them all and yes I went into hibernation.
For the twins!! They are now 18 months old. Riley is walking, no, running every where and is doing great!! She will never let her brothers one up on her because she is already always one step a head of them. Blake had a few surgeries for his heart in March. The first few months after were rather scary and his condition was so up and down. But his body has seemed to settle down and adjust to the way they have rerouted his arteries and veins and for the most part he has pretty good days. He is still a tiny guy, 16lbs at 18 months, but, has slowly gained 2 pounds over the last few months. We will take any we can get. I am just thankful for the wonderful doctors and the strength of my daughter whom have gotten them all through this.
I have tried to attach a picture of them. Riley is on the right, Blake is in the middle, a friend on the left. We happen to think they are just about the most special babies in the world, and they prove that daily. Hopefully I will get back out to see them around Labor Day weekend.
Thank you all for your continued prayers for them, it is so appreciated and for your emails I still have not answered.
Hopefully I have come around enough I will be on here more.
I am sorry for my absence, it was for no reason than the ones listed above. Spending the weekend kicking my butt back in to gear, and I think this is at least a start.
