Relapse...2011

Hello all..

Im sitting in an NYC hotel healing from my eye biospy yesterday. I started getting blurry vision and floaters about 3 weeks ago, and didnt think anything of it. It wasnt getting any better so I went to the eye doctor and they were concerned it my be a relapse in my left eye. So, I hopped a flight to my doctor Oconnor, and saw Dr.Marr the eye doctor here, and he is 99.9% sure it is some lymphoma cells. I just wanted to update, but I will give a more detailed account and what the treatment will be when my eye stops being sore from having a huge needle stuck in it! Follow me on facebook for more up to date updates.

Ouch! I'm sure the needle in the eye wasn't comfortable, but whatever it takes, right? Please keep me updated on everything and let me know when you think you will be home. I would love to come visit! I haven't seen Skylar in FOREVER! I love you!

Hi Kara, I just read your blog & wanted you to know that I will be praying for you & yours & have many family members & friends that will be as well! You don't know me, but I am very good friends with Sandy, your husband's aunt, along with your husband's parents (used to spend many a wkend pm there playing charades, back when Sandy & I were in school, around 30ish yrs ago, haha)...Anyway, I have never had cancer, thankfully, however, throughout the last decade+ of my life, I have spent fighting the fight of many things from learning to walk again a little after a major MS attack took my mobility away from me for 4+ yrs(all drs said would be 100% bedridden forever), along with blood clots in both my lungs (wasn't supposed to be here to tell that story), & some things like an ileostomy bag that I used to have, but was finally able to get taken off! The reason I am telling you these things which I hold very close to me, except for a few rare friends that know & of course, my family, is bc I wish to tell you that no matter how bad the days get, no matter how hard times get, no matter how much you may start to wonder about things you normally wouldn't, it is ALL okay, as long as you remember God knows your heart, has your soul & ALL is possible through Him. Your story, again, while not like mine, takes me back in some ways...just know you will forever have another person willing you onward & upward & wishing you & yours nothing but the best! You have some terrific ppl around you & staying positive as much as you can, I am sure you know, can change your world! Thanks for the honor of allowing me to read your blog, as it's fantastic, as you seem to be as well! What a beautiful child & terrific husband I know you have, among other very good ppl surrounding you! I hope this new eye stuff doesn't get you too down & that you are able to fight it away easier than b4! Lastly, if you will look up Jaci Velasquez & a song she sings called,"Lay It Down", it may also help to change your world for the better if things get rough(it touched me in a way no other song ever has) & I pray it can do a portion of what it did for me for you. Thanks for sharing your blog!
