Well, my aunt has been through the ringer, but we have a diagnosis......she has Valley Fever. This is a disease that can be contracted in Arizona (where I grew up) and like TB can sit dormant in your lungs for a long time or forever. But with the cancer, chemo and her weak immune system, it was activated. One of the doctors happen to pick up on my parents saying they were from Arizona. Thank you Jesus! She is now responding to the meds and doing better, but will be on antibiotics for a long time. She will be in the hospital through the weekend and then she will go to rehab for a couple of weeks.
So, my parents are going home today and I will be going home Friday. My daughter is driving through on her way home for Christmas and will pick me up. I am very ready and very tired.
Thank you all for all your prayers and sweet comments. It has meant so much to me!!!

I believe in Miracles. God loves you, Sara. He allows miracles in your life for the rest of us to see and know He lives and loves us. Thanks for sharing your faith and life with all of us. Wow.
So glad to hear there was a diagnosis! I love the way God works in the details. Will continue to pray for her recovery.

Sara,
We are so thankful with you in having an answer. I know your aunt must be so relieved too. How scary for her. Enjoy your time together today. And give Alyssa a hug for me as you drive home together - that has a nice sound to it. Big hug and much love...
