This week I was readmitted back to Upenn, it was ultimately my decision but after I fainted and almost brought down some kitchen chairs on top of me, I thought it was for the best.
fevers, vomiting, coughing, fainting, weakness...
Once again -- no answers.
What a great birthday, huh? Happy 26th to me.

I know you like it when I swear on your blog and all I can think right now is "FUCK." Sending you good vibes every day.
Well I'm feeling a little shy even to cheer you up with cussing but CRAP...best I can muster.
Happy happy birthday, I wish this one didn't suck. Wish you were out partying and running amuck...well maybe not amuck in the way it's usually said but in a good, fun, honery way. HUGS
You have strangers rooting for you and sending you love!
Congratulations on Twenty Six round trips around the sun - and wishing you many many more. As Kay said, people who have never set eyes on you are wishing you well from the bottom of their hearts, and I am certainly one of them.
Be open to counter-intuitive plans of action. When I was six I became terribly ill with a strep infection. I was hospitalized. My condition declined over a couple of weeks. They gave me lots of the latest antibiotics. My liver, heart, spleen, and other organs became enlarged. My white blood cells were abnormal, and I had a high fever. They tested me for leukemia but it was not typical, it was more like aplastic anemia. I seemed close to expiring and my parents were frantic. Finally they disconnected me from all the IVs and everything and just waited. I was stable for 2 days. Then, unexpectedly, I suddenly made a spectacular recovery. I left the hospital weakened but healthy. I ended up missing my entire grade 2 of school. It took me two months to get enough strength to walk steadily again. A year or two later, the primary drug they were using, Chloromycetin, began to be suspected of causing fatal and near-fatal complications in children. It was withdrawn from human use. Many times in my life I look at that experience and wonder, "What if they had just continued treatment?" If they had not been open to trying a change in treatment, I would not be here. So, I'm just saying, if things which should work don't work, then try something else. (info on the drug which nearly killed me is here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chloramphenicol)
Bekah, I am so sorry you are struggling so much. What I really want to do right now is curse--okay, so I'm cursing but I won't write it for all to see. For your birthday, my wish for you is that this next year be filled with healing, peace and doing all you want to do. And that it stays that way for many more birthdays.
Take care.
Hey Bek,
Hope you're feeling better... Please update when you can ok?
Sending love, chris
