A Letter To My Healing Body

Dear body, Where do I begin? On Tuesday we had our colonoscopy and finally heard news that we have wanted to hear for a long time. We are nearly there.

Hello, It’s Me

Well hello world, it has been a long long time since we have ventured over here to this blog. I made it back from Europe, I do promise you that. I’m really sorry I was away from here for so long. Life just kind of got away from me. Europe was a whirl wind andContinue reading “Hello, It’s Me”

YOU GUYS. I have been a little M.I.A hey? So many things have been happening and for once all of them exciting and good. The clinical trial seems to be going well.

I got to be a guest on a blog!

Hello friends, Spring break has finally made it’s presence and I couldn’t be happier.
