Hello Everyone,
Today has been a great day. I am getting all my discharge instructions and IV's today, and everything is going well. My blood tests have improved and I am pleased because I have been working super hard.
I am going to miss my Sanoviv family until next time but I am really looking forward to going home. Today (June 25) is my little Katie's forth birthday and I am missing my kids.
The doctor told me today that the vaccine I am getting now is only the first stage of getting rid of the disease. In 6 months I will start the next vaccine. At least I am getting healthier.
Thanks again everyone. I will be home Monday and I will see if it is possible to upload pictures from my second venture so if you are interested stay tuned.
I love you all
-Sandy

A Night Under the Stars
Today is the dreaded liquid day, but at least they are really good to me. My nutritionist orders food for me because I am always hungry and still loosing a bit of weight. Nobody can live on salad and nut mush alone.
Today the doctor is trying a different treatment called Minor Ozone Autohemotherapy. It should be interesting, I think. Although it is another needle in the behind, as if I hadn't had enough of those. Oh well, it is good for me.
Last night I went out on my balcony and sat in my chair to watch the moon shinning bright over the ocean and I fell asleep. I woke up at 5:00am to the sound of birds. Once I realized that I was outside it kinda felt like I was camping by myself. People ask, "How did you sleep? It was so cold". I reply "I am a Canadian!" Although in the morning I was cold. I must have been really tired to fall asleep outside. It was kinda cool. Anyway I am a little stiff this morning so it is a good thing they are sending me for a deep shiatsu massage.
Well everyone enjoy your solid food at home and have a good one.

Homesick and Horrified
HAPPY BIRTHDAY AUNTIE SUSIE AND AUNTIE BETTY! Have a great one. Love you guys!
Hello Everyone,
Today was a good day, except I was told I had to go into
the hyper barrack chamber and I didn't handle it as well as I thought
I would. I was a little freaked out because it feels as though you
can't breathe and you are gasping for air. I have felt that too much
before and it was a bit hard on the lungs to feel something like it
again.
Anyway on a different note. Even though there are many people here and
I am enjoying the staff's company. I am homesick. Katie left a
message on my phone in my room saying "Hi mommy I love you". Tomorrow
is her birthday I wish I could be there but she thinks her birthday is
on Monday when mommy comes home.
Today's supper was especially awful it was quinoa burgers. No bread or
sauce; just plain. YUCK!!!! I skipped out I have lost about 8 lbs since
I arrived. Waiting to have sushi or buckwheat pancakes with fruit.
YUM!!!
Anyway you all have a great evening!

Foiled escape!
I heard you got summer! Hooray!
I have had a really great day. I may be going on TV for 60 minutes and I am really excited. I have also been asked to speak to a youth group and give me testimony. I feel so honored. I am currently writing a book and MANY people have already asked to buy it. God has huge plans for my life!
Treatments went well today I just came from ultraviolet therapy and I am waiting to see if I am going to be going into the hyper barrick chamber today or not. As you probably already read I am a bit scared. It is supposed to speed up healing three times faster.
Here is something funny for you the guard left the gate open today and I was walking towards it and another guy saw me. He yelled to the guard in Spanish to close the gate and the guard went running back. I wasn't even going there but I had a really good laugh!
I hope your day was great!

Another Great Day!
Hi Eveyone,
Today has been a great day. Sanoviv wants a before and after picture of me for their website and a testimony. They are calling me "The Walking Miracle".
Since I've returned, I have had a huge blockage in my intestines and today they finally got it out! I feel so much better! I also had a minor mishap and ended up in the recovery room. Out of nowhere my finger just started to bleed and it would not stop. I lost so much blood; I got really light headed. During this time my doctor had booked me a detoxing body wrap and I missed it. What a bummer.
I was able to see the nutritionist today. she is very proud of my progress and my diet.
The results from my allergy and gluten tests have not come in yet but they will be in soon. Apparently my lab results are getting better since I've been here, so PTL (Praise the Lord)!
I am getting really good at doing the vaccine I don't need help at all, so I am pretty proud.
Anyway I hope all is well where you are and God Bless You ALL!

Father's Day
Wow it is a really quiet day today.
I was up before anybody else and before any staff arrived this
morning. The good news is I am full of energy once again and I almost
finished the puzzle (it is a big issue here). I spent the morning
taking care of my 14 year old buddy. She is so sweet. We were so bored
we decided to ride the elevator and explore the forbidden place of the
hospital. We went on an adventure. We also got caught doing it. It was
funny though.
For the rest of the day I will probably go to the pool and burn to a
crisp, go watch pink panther 2 again, play games, and bocci ball with
the other inmates. We are aloud to do whatever we want today.
I am looking forward to being busy tomorrow in treatments I need
something to do!!! GOING CRAZY!!!
Yesterday I never made it to the movie I had my own party in my room
(three enemas in one night) I called it the weight loss party. I am
currently at a healthy 138lbs and most is muscle. At least that is
what the nutritionist said.
Well I hope you all have a wonderful day today. Tomorrow I will have
more to blog as I am back in full treatments.
Happy Fathers Day to all you Fathers I hope you have enjoyed your Day!
What Makes a Dad
God took the strength of a mountain,
The majesty of a tree,
The warmth of a summer sun,
The calm of a quiet sea,
The generous soul of nature,
The comforting arm of night,
The wisdom of the ages,
The power of the eagle's flight,
The joy of a morning in spring,
The faith of a mustard seed,
The patience of eternity,
The depth of a family need,
Then God combined these qualities,
When there was nothing more to add,
He knew His masterpiece was complete,
And so,
He called it ... Dad

Abandoned
Hi folks
As you all know today is my first day here alone. My mom left at two
in the morning. It is a little weird without her here but the staff is
great as well as some of the patients. I have become really close
friends with some of the staff and I will have tons of company.
I may have to go into the HYPER-BARRIC CHAMBER I am really freaked out
but it is supposed to work. I will keep you updated on that.
My heart aches for one of the patients here she has a lot of the same
symptoms as I did when the auto-immune disease is in it's early stages
and she is unaware. They have not told her yet. Her liver and other
organs began to shut down. Please pray for this person! Also one other
couple to pray for are people from Canada. He has MS. She is trying
to keep him strong and positive because they just found out that the
treatment will not work on him and he is really down about it. He made
a promise to his little boy to go swim with the dolphins and now he
can't. Pray for strength and complete healing.
Today I have to go see the Psychologist and he is going to talk me
through the fear of the HYPER-BARRIC CHAMBER. It looks like they also
booked me in for a lymph drainage with the machine. Saturday and
Sunday are quiet here because the doctors are not in. OH GOOD NEWS it
is dessert day after supper we get a tiny bit of a all Natural
dessert. YUM can't wait need something sweet. So for the rest of the
day I will be going to Aquacise (water workout in pool), a walk and
visit around the pool. I also set a goal to finish the big puzzle. I
just found out they will be playing Pink Panther 2 for all the
patients as well so I am going to party!! (I WISH) Anyway it is nice
to have a break today I have been running non-stop since I arrived at
Sanoviv.
I also would like to thank everyone for reading my blog I am truly
blessed to have such a great support system.
