This Kelsey typing for my moms dictation!
I made it to Kelsey's Graduation on June 17th, which was a huge goal of mine since my diagnosis back in February of 2009. It was at Cerritos College and with the help of Julie, my parents, Rob & Candace, and Rob's parents, I made it through the ceremony and I ate a good dinner after at Frantones with family. On the morning of June 19th I began to go down hill and I became very weak and I began throwing up again. But by the time the party started that day I was able to be outside with blankets in my wheelchair, of course, to socialize with friends and family. It was a great blessing that I made it to Kelsey's Graduation and I was healthy enough for the party.
The past few days though I have gone down hill very seriously and I truly need all your prayers. Tuesday was very awful, I was in bed all day only eating ice chips that were fed to me. I was barely aware of anyone or where I was, and not talking at all. I had no strength and it took everything I had to get up and go to the bathroom. Today was a little better; I woke up and took a relaxing bath with the help of Kelsey and my mom, I actually put on clothes and perfume (: and I was wheeled to the living room to sit in my favorite spot on the couch!
All of your prayers and loving support is greatly appreciated! I love all of you.

It's me, Jana! I have been out of the Hosp. since Sat. and have been feeling really good since. I have been taking walks with my personal friends who come over and serve as caretakers. There are a few who come over to relieve my mom and sister from all the help I need. Everyone is extremely helpful!!!

I am trying to walk and get my strength back in my hands and legs.

Each time we have gone to Dwy Hosp., we have been able to share our faith with the nurses and here we had a couple also. God is so good!!!

Thank you for keeping me going and please pray that I'll be able to walk normal and be able to drive myself again.

I love you all and I wish all the Father's a wonderful day and my dad THE BEST!!!

"Therefore, be imitators of God as dear children, and walk in love, as Christ also has loved us and given Himself for us, an offering and a sacrifice to God......."Eph.5:1-3

The last two days have been interesting to say the least.   For the past month, I have had various "ailments" that we have not been able to explain and have not much luck getting in to see the doctor.   So, my mom and Julie decided yesterday morning that it was time for the ER to get all of these crazy things taken care of and figured out.   We got there at 10:30, got right in (because of a little assertiveness), got some blood tests, urine tests, etc. right away.   They concluded immediately that I had a UTI (urinary infection), a spot on my lungs which they thought was the onset of pneumonia, and another type of infection which I'm not sure of.   So, they loaded me up with antibiotics and an IV saline drip.  It was a VERY long day.   About 2:00 they were going to let us go home but I spiked a fever of 102 and my blood pressure dropped to 78/45 so they said I earned a night in the hospital.   Well, my mom and Julie came to pick me up today and to my surprise, the Dr. said I was so lucky that I got to stay another night.   So, my mom and Julie stayed today with me again until 7:00.   I really have no strength and they are still waiting for the cultures to come back and make sure they are treating me with the correct antibiotics.  My hands are not gripping either right now so I am having help with drinking my water and also eating.  Please pray for strength for me right now and that the antibiotics will do what they are supposed to and that I get out of the hospital quickly.   Thanks so much to all of my friends who are SO supportive, loving, and sending lots of prayers.  We couldn't do it without all of you!!!   This is Julie writing for Jana right now since she is spending the evening with her "other" hospital friends and we have the luxury of spending them here at Jana's house and keeping Kelsey company!
