Be Healed






We still managed to have cake!!


Yesterday, Alyssa made her Confirmation. She still was not feeling well as of 1:30 and the ceremony was at 2:00, but we decided to try anyway. Amy, her sponsor, walked in the door and announced,"Have no fear your sponsor is here." With that the recovery began. Alyssa was sent home from school Thursday and Friday with dizziness, severe headaches and nausea. She spent last week, going to bed about 8:00- very unusual for my night owl.

Friday, we went to the Palos Immediate Care center for blood work and a chest x-ray. Everything came back just fine except elevated potassium levels. In other words, nothing to worry about, but she still was not herself.


We cancelled her party as she was not up to it, but as previously noted she went to the ceremony. After the ceremony we went to Fuji's Steak house with the four of us, Amy, and our neighbor Julie. We had a blast and lots of laughs. Today, Alyssa is feeling MUCH better. Dare I say back to her old self. She must be as she is starting to drive me nuts again. It may have been when she told me at 10:00 she needs red and black streamers for school, along with a snack for her cheerleading team. Yeah she's back! YIPPEE!!!!!!

Congratulations are definitely in order, we are glad to hear that Alyssa is feeling better. (Did you give her a shot of WD40 for the rust?)
