Update on Shonna


 I just wanted to give a quick update on Shonna's health.  She is doing so much better.  She is gradually getting energy back.  She is doing most of the meal planning and cooking, though her husband still does the grocery shopping, and she is doing all of the laundry again. She still needs a nap each day. One of the symptoms that is so strange is her feet have been extremely hot and itchy.  She has to get up in the middle of the night and go into the bathroom and stand on the tile floor to get relief.  But lately she hasn't had to do that as often. That is extremely weird for her as Shonna has ALWAYS had cold feet.  Her recent ultrasound showed improvement in the liver, but the gall bladder is still very inflamed and swollen. It actually looks worse.  It still causes her a lot of pain.  Her blood tests show improvement as well.

Her doctor fears that this was all caused by an autoimmune disease.  Shonna is working on getting into a specialist.  Frankly, her doctor is totally baffled and not sure what to do.

We are so very grateful she is feeling better and on the mend.  We sincerely thank you for your prayers.
