Nausea Begone

Attention everyone, we have found the magic combo of anti-nausea drugs! Too bad it took this long. Seems an antipsychotic - haldol (and another variation of anti-emetic) was what was needed. I KNEW there was something off! Because of this, Blake is hungry for what else, Hot Wings! He's taking a walk and will be writing most of the post today. We're missing the grand wedding of Cheryl and Adam today, and are quite sad about this- we know it will be quite the night.

The person you know as blake is typing here. All I can think about (when not wretching) is how great it will be to feel normal again - like ya'll. Not eating for 4 days and puking more than Sarah, and having to fly across a 1/4 of the globe, and even, even being apart from Alden for so long is going to be worth it.

I will be able to hold onto the intertube a little longer , type without looking, and get by without naps or getting so medicated even the We channel is funny.

We are nearing the top of the hill and Mary is right behind me unfurling the flag of Freedom From MS! As my blood counts continue to drop the disease is slowly dissapating. Hurray!

I can't believe we have made it so far without eating for so long :)

All of my thanks to our many friends who have helped along the way.

Sincerely,

Blake

Hurray!! Glad to hear you're not puking as much as Sarah! Miss you guys, but looking forward to having a celebration party upon your return home. xo

I'm so glad you are finding good drug combos that help (although a fun holicination could be a good time...?). Based on my puking habits, I'm jealous!:)

You are almost done and kicking ass! MS is going DOWN!

All three of you were missed last night. It was a fantastic wedding and we will tell you all about it in annoying detail when you are home. We did raise a glass (many raised more than one) in your honor.

Can't wait for you guys to be home!

Blake I always thought you were someone who would function better on a little Haldol.

Get well soon! -Kjersti
