Sorry for the delay in writing, for those that diligently check each day! Sunday was a day of relaxing as the snow melted. Sam was still here and Michellie and Sam watched TV and relaxed. I actually had a meeting to go to where I could mix with others and create ideas - that was very novel! David did some work and made the trek back to Port Hawksbury with Sam. Michellie felt much stronger Sunday and there were no complaints about acidic stomache, headache or hives. There were some aches in her legs in the evening, so of course the massages started up again.
Monday was a trip to Inverness for blood work. Michellie's counts had risen and we were told that she no longer required the GCSF shots!!!! Those painful, tearful experiences are done!
Today was the beginning of recovery for us. We started to make some changes to shift from medicine to herbs and Michellie's face lit up with this idea. So, we have added in Liquid Silver to keep the bacteria clear in her mouth, an immuno powder that contains Glutathione as well as some other wonderful herbs to begin the repair work on her stomache lining. We added Zeolite drops to begin cleaning the cells of all the toxins, and she is continuing with Calcium, Magnesium and Vitamin D. We didn't add extra Vitamin C yet, but this is next. We don't have access to IV Vitamin C, so we are just determining what her body will want. We talked about what exercises to use that will get her lymphatic system pumping and clearing out the toxins. She likes the idea of a trampoline, but of course, I sold the mini we had with the studio. We are also determining what cardiovascular exercise she will like to do to get her heart pumping and raising her body temperature to a good healing sweat - this was not resolved. We have lots of choices - I think that is the problem. We will let you know what she decides. We will be adding some Qi Gong and Tai Chi as well, we just have to determine which exercises her body wants at this time.
Thank you everyone for all of the ideas and information you have sent. I pretty much spent the last four days devouring books, websites and emails to find what will best suit our needs and what we can do in our remote little spot in the world. In some ways it is a challenge to be living in a remote spot, but it also really gets us digging for energy ways to do the healing rather than relying on other tools that we do not have at our disposal or our new level of income won't allow. I believe this is a great gift to us, as there is nothing better than letting the body do its own healing and understanding what that healing needs to be. So, this is our quest for today.
Michellie had another good day of feeling better than before, and she was surprised how much more energy she had. She thought she would accomplish less rather than more. She did have aches and pains down her arms over Monday evening, so hopefully these will subside today. She is going to focus on getting back to school now, and we will give a half day a try today as her counts continue to recover, and then she will be ready for full days for the rest of the week - hopefully. Next week is March break, so she will be home to relax again. When the kids go back the following week, we are off to Halifax for tests and meetings with the oncologists. So, it will be a few weeks before her body will need to be ready for a full week of school. David and I have forgotten what that is like - early mornings and a child gone for the day - wow!
Today is pancake day, so I am off to make some of our new gluten free variety, but we are out of eggs - I hope that cornstarch will work as a substitute with the gluten free flour. Ah, more learning!
