July 17th Christine and I were able to meet the kind Dr. Christian Wienand, a general practitioner with some pain management experience. He is also perplexed by Christine’s left-arm pain. He ordered many, many labs. We hope and pray some lab results next week will lead to better understanding and eventual treatment. Unfortunately Dr. Wienand is on holiday for 2 weeks, Time and money are precious, and hopefully we can get some answers soon for poor Christine.
Christine remains strong in spirit, despite being mostly bedridden. It’s difficult for her to focus, but we try to stream shows together in bed and get her mind off of the pain as much as possible. Today, July 18th, we return to the Milz-Bieber clinic for her to receive her life-saving treatment once again (fecal microbiota transplant). It’s a blessing to be off the antibiotics that wreak havoc on her, and to have access to FMT to build her gut biome back up to better health.
THANK YOU, dear friends, for your overwhelming support of kind messages, thoughts, support, and especially prayer. 🙏 He listens. Christine and I appreciate each and every one of you, and we are doing our best to focus forward with hope for better health soon.

Milestone Birthday!
Christine is FINALLY turning 30 this July 29th! YAY! She is pushing through so much agony and frustration to hit this magnificent milestone 🙂
