Roller Coaster Ride continues..........

Hi All......I started the last blog with...."Another roller coaster ride".......welll......we might as well start like that again because nothing seems to be going smoothly.  I came home a week ago Tuesday night and Amy arrived in Massachusetts that same evening.  Her first few days were very similar to my first few days out there.  Tami was very tired and just sleeping.....Then Amy called me Last Saturday and told me Tami had a fever again....It was over the limit that Dr. Lambert had given me.  Tami just wanted to sleep but thankfully Dr. Lambert called Amy back and told her to get her to the emergency room again.

 Dr. Lambert was at a symposium and out of town but her team took care of Tami.  Dr. Lambert supposses that Tami was never free of the infection from her blood clot and it just came back and this time it was in her kidneys and blood.  Tami has been very sick....she said she only remembers being that sick one other time.  But yesterday Amy e-mailed us and said, "A Much Better Day".  We were so thankful for that.  Dr. Lambert gave Tami some Orange flavored Metamucil and Amy said she was totally enjoying that prick to her taste buds!...Orange Flavored!  She so enjoyed that.

  Dr. Lambert also said she has another trick up her sleeve to try to block the leakage Tami is still experiencing.  So they'll try that in a short while.  The last one they did has not helped her a lot but hopefully the next one will.  All in all....as the little problems come to many of us every day.....I've heard some say. "Well, it's not like Tami so I can handle this"......she is helping many of us with the troubles of life just by summoning the strength to keep fighting......."Fight To The Finish".......As Tami was so very sick a few days ago, her fight had just about gone out of her, but with a little more energy, her fight is still on and we still have HOPE.......She finds a way to "GO WAY DOWN DEEP" to find the push to carry on.  We hope all is going well for those of you who read this....Amy's sister Taylor is going on a mission in May to New Mexico.  Tami and Amy skyped in the hospital and they were able to be a part of that fun experience of opening a mission call.......We are so glad that things have smoothed out a little and we continue to hope for a smoother ride for her shortly.  Lana is going out to Mass. on Monday and will stay for two more weeks.  I can't believe that my 2 weeks and Amy's 2 weeks have come and gone.  We're all hoping for a few weeks of healing and peace.
Love, Judy
