Hello One and all, sorry it has been so long. I am moved into my new home in wilsonville. :) It is going very well. The family is so nice and caring and making me feel like I am apart of their family. I am taking two courses at CCC this term, I wanted more but they were full so I will register for next term early to get into the classes. I am taking Anthropology and Chemistry, and doing pretty well in both I think. I am nannying 4 days a week. Monday and Tuesday for a family in west linn, and then Thursday and Friday for my cousin so she can work from home and I watch her 10 month old. :) As far as health, I am still struggling. I still have my PICC line and am up to 115 lbs. but I am still having pain, and it is mostly after I eat something. The doctors have me on Methotrexate and Cimzia. We increased my Methotrexate dose yesterday and I think it made me sick this morning because that is one of the side effects. I went to see a naturopath on Wednesday, just to meet her and see if she was someone I would consider going to and she was very nice and very knowledgeable. Her name is Dr. Karma Denmark and she is located in West Linn, so I asked my doctor to put a referral in so that hopefully Kaiser will pay for me to be able to see her. So I am waiting to hear from Kaiser. Things are going well at my parents. Although I think we are all starting to miss our parents. They get back from Rwanda on Wednesday the 18th. It sounds like they have had a life changing experience and I am excited to hear all their stories. Well this is a quick update, I hopefully will update next time sooner.
