Okay people, I know this is getting a little ridiculous, but here's the latest;
I have swine flu, but I'm actually feeling better today, so I think it's on the way out. Thank goodness.
Also, got back some test results from my latest near death experience, and it looks like I have mitral valve prolapse and regurgitation. MVP is not uncommon, and it's when the mitral valve, or the valve in the middle of your heart that separates the upper and lower chambers and keeps blood going one way--from upper to lower--gets damaged. MV regurgitation is when that valve is so damaged that the blood starts backing up from lower to upper. At this point all I know is that is what I've got, and my doc wants me to see a cardiologist. The absolute worst case scenario that I can determine from me research is heart surgery, and I won't know about that until I see said cardiologist, but hopefully it won't go that far.
Anyhoo, prayers would be much appreciated at this point. Especially for John, who's had one too many sucker punches in too short a period of time. He's not dealing as well as I am. Thanks!!
The Almighty Liz

whats a hugxors? is it some kind of demon?
That sucks!!! Here, have a demon from me too.
Ha! The minute your mom said your dad had the swine flu I knew you were going to somehow get it! How could you not? You are just a sickness magnet right now.
Ok, you are allowed to get sick a ridiculous amount of times, but you must get better eventually! That's an order! I will pray that you do not need heart surgery, or only minor surgery if it comes to that (like a stent in your heart?).
On a brighter note, if you do have heart surgery, we could have cool matching scars! That's reason enough right? ;)
Lucas has MVP, too. But no regurgitation (at this point) but they are keeping an eye on it - casually, anyway. You are in our thoughts and prayers. Take care and keep us posted.
Scarlett and I had the swine flu a while back and we finally got over it. I am like you, I guess, I catch everything that's going around. ...sigh...
But you and I are still blithe, happy spirits, right? Love you... Aunt Karen
Demons... er... hugs for the young Severs!
