I would love to give you a name/diagnosis for Kami...but we still don't have an answer yet.

On Tuesday, Kami and I drove up to Jacksonville, FL for her Mayo appointment.  It is normally about a 6 hour drive...but we turned it into 9!  Yes, we are from Florida but somehow we got lost and ended up on some back roads with a lot of stop lights in little towns.  We finally made it at around 7 p.m. 

We went to the Mayo Clinic on Wednesday to meet with the Infectious Disease doctor.  We were told that even though Kami has the anti-bodies for "Valley Fever", she does not have an active infection for this disease.  So, the ID doctor  ordered another slew of blood tests.  She is checking for parasites/diseases that would be prevalent in the West Indies.  Kami filled up another 12 vials of blood at the blood lab!  (Does she have any blood left?)  I kidded with her that if "blood letting" really was a cure for disease, she should be healed by now after so many blood tests!

So, for now, we are waiting for the results from this next round of blood tests and we have another appointment to come back to the Mayo Clinic on  Monday, August 26th.  

Our anniversary...

Since Kami and I missed our 19-year anniversary back on July 2nd, we decided to take advantage of our time together here in Jacksonville....especially after being apart for nearly 2 months!

We are staying at a great prophet's chamber/manufactured home here in Jacksonville...What a blessing!  So this evening, before we leave tomorrow morning to return to Ft. Myers, we bought some crab legs and some pasta salad to bring back to the prophet's chamber.  We also stopped at a restaurant called Copeland's and ordered two cheesecake slices "to go".

We just finished a nice romantic dinner together and reminisced about the past 19 years.  We are truly blessed beyond measure with such a wonderful marriage!

Until next time...
