Dr. Wang

Hey Friends, We made it back from UVA pretty late. We were all pretty tired from riding in a small car and sitting a lot in waiting rooms. Jessi was pretty much out of it or asleep the entire day. The only thing that happened was the doctor and his nurse took a lot of history notes and flipped through her medical records and viewed a CD of her CAT SCAN (is that spelled correctly?) Basically how he summed it up was, the Roanoke doctors had already performed the basic or obvious and easiest tests. Now Dr. Wang wants to dig a bit deeper. He drew blood and collected a urine sample for tests he said he will evaluate with other specialists. We go back on April 7 for a barium type test of her upper bowel. Shhheeewww, the best part of hospital waiting rooms is catching up on your reading. Next visit I'll be taking the book I bought from Alyson Stanfield - "I'd rather be in the Studio". Apparently this is going to be a long drawn out process, because Dr Wang doesn't have "A Magic Bullet"!!
Happy Trails

NEW SYMPTOMS

Hey Friends, My blog is suffering from my neglect but my youngest daughter is suffering also. Her newest symptom is jaundice. Her liver seems to be reacting to something, hopefully the new medicine she was taking for her stomach. Erythramyacin? (sp) seems to have helped a bit with the stomach muscles working but now this. She had bloodwork and a sonagram of the liver done yesterday. I have not heard the results yet. She looks so weak. I LOVE HER.
Maybe tonight I'll get my thoughts together and post some more of the work I found while cleaning the studio a few weeks ago. It's hard to believe but I found some more yesterday while I was searching for a painting that was sold on Etsy. Yes, thats right, a lady in Michigan bought a painting! It's an unusual event anymore!
Happy Trails.

NO NEWS - CAN IT BE GOOD?

Hey Friends, I haven't posted for a while 'cuz I was away from home for a week, then had to jump back into my job. The other job, which I also love! LOL. Seriously, my baby girl is still sick, even after having her gall bladder removed. It's called gastroparesis, which means paralyzed stomach. The last 2 days seem to be a bit better. She got some new medicine on Friday and thinks that may be helping. She has lost a lot of weight but that will be OK if this is the end of her struggle with keeping food down. I love her.
While I was away a young lady left a comment on my last blog post, thanking me for the Painted Photo Collage tutorial. Hope she gets to use it soon and I wanted you to check out her blog, which is www.hayleyjudithegan.blogspot.com and then check out some of the blogs she follows. I clicked on a couple and found them very interesting, I'll have to check out more of them later. So go click on www.blackrosecreations.blogspot.com and www.doorno2.blogspot.com.
Tomorrow I'm going to paint ALL day so I don't want anyone ringing the phone, banging at the door, or blowing their car horns to get me to sell my art work. Sorry, It'll just have to wait 'til next week. I've got to finish a piece I promised to be ready last week.
HAPPY TRAILS!
