More Lake Tahoe pictures!

Today has been a good day mostly. We got to the clinic early since it is Friday. I got fluids with adrenal support, and Vitamin C for the virus I have. My cough is deeper and worse today, which makes my stomach and chest hurt so much more than they already do! At the clinic I had to have 3 doses of pain and nausea medicine (Demerol and Phenergan). My stomach felt like it was having a spasm, so they gave me a natural pain medicine, which made the pain worse so I ended up just getting the regular pain medicine. After my IVs, I had another lymphatic massage. It went well. We only did it for an hour this time, to try and ease into it. When I threw up after the treatment on Tuesday and Wednesday, she said that is a good thing because it was a fast way to get rid of toxins. So it's good that I feel horrible and throw up all night? Yep. Well, if it is good then I guess I can't complain.

They are thinking that I have a kidney or bladder infection because of some things they found, so they sent my urine off for a culture. There could also be a kidney stone that is hiding from the CT scans. Hopefully the MRI Monday will tell more!

I'm feeling okay tonight. The pain started getting worse after my lymphatic treatment, so I took some medicine and that has kept it down a little. I took a bath, and am going to get in bed early.

Tomorrow we are going to try and go snow tubing with Grayson and his mom! It will be so much fun! We could go to the clinic tomorrow morning, but both of us need a 2 day break to survive the week.

On Sunday, the missionaries from our church who live in Brazil are getting here! I've talked about them on here before, and they were at the clinic last year when were here too. So this is the second time we will be at the clinic with them. We have so much fun with them!!

Here are more pictures from this weekend. On Sunday, it was snowing so much!

I hope you have a great weekend!

Lake Tahoe - Part 3

We tried to drive to a bay on the other side of the lake, but the roads were closed because of the snow. But we still saw amazing things!

"The heavens declare the glory of God; the skies proclaim the work of his hands." Psalm 19:1

Thank you God, for giving us these beautiful things to look at!

I think I have one more post of pictures from this weekend!

Lake Tahoe - Part 2

Today we had planned to go snow tubing. Well, you think we would have learned not to plan by now. Because of the high winds that came in with the blizzard, the tubing was closed. We decided to ride up the gondala anyway, and just look around. It was beautiful, and we ate lunch up there! Afterwards, we drove to the ski places to get my mom and brother signed up for skiing tomorrow. Then, we drove around some more! I know it doesn't sound like we did a lot, but it took up the whole day (oh yeah, and we slept in till 10:30 this morning).

At the top of the mountain!

You can see in the distance the mountains that don't have snow. That's the desert. How crazy!

Lake Tahoe in Pictures - Part 1

Yesterday afternoon, we drove an hour from Reno, to Lake Tahoe. We didn't go to the clinic yesterday (Friday) or today. It's nice to have a break. My doctor loaded me up on pain medicine so that this trip was possible. We ate lunch in North Tahoe before heading south.

The blizzard started coming in right after lunch, and by the time we got to our hotel, this is what it looked like!

Ice skating rink

They had to get the snow off of the skating rink so they had this cool machine!

We walked around some shops for a while, then went to the Hard Rock Cafe for dinner. We were all exhausted after yesterday, so we came to our room and relaxed.

The heaters in our room are very loud, and I was hallucinating all night from the Morphine. Every time the heater came on, I was convinced there was an avalanche...I was terrified all night. Now, it is so funny to think about, but then it wasn't! I was so scared!!

I'll post more pictures very soon!

Few more pictures

There is an update coming soon but here are some pictures from Tahoe.
