A walk in the sun

Hello again to the now over 370 of you waiting for updates on our dear Kristine:

Below is another update from Mary Ann:

Good morning to all of Kristine’s Earth Angels!


Round two of PNC 27 is complete. Kristine completed round two with day 7 being a kicker! The round is 5 days on with the shot of the peptide and two days off.  One would think the two days off would be the rest days, but instead those are the detox days. Day seven to be the worst of the two. Kristine can put the shot anywhere in her abdomen....but she continues to target Millie!
Round three started Saturday evening, Sunday was a good day with more internal combustion that comes with no warning! With a surprised look on her face she announced she thought she could propel herself across Canandaigua Lake! (some of you may remember she DID swim across it this past summer without such assistance) I love that she can find humor in this process! The nausea takes her by surprise as well. She can be feeling fine and then it hits her. Sometimes she can just close her eyes and deal with it and other times we need to find the bucket quickly!


This week we will be adding Hyperbaric O2 to the mix of treatments. Kristine will have her first treatment of O2 on Tuesday. (Thank you to her Dad for purchasing and installing a chamber at our home.) Although, this treatment is not new to Kristine, she will be starting very slowing at only one time/week for 20 minutes and gradually work her way back up to an hour. This is another form of detox and we don’t want to overwhelm her liver with too much of it at one time but support her body through it!


Nurse Tami will be coming today to check and change the dressing of her pic line and will take bloods. We are hopeful they will continue to show positive signs of her “Road to Recovery”. On that note, she had her first outing to enjoy the sunshine on Saturday pushed by Sarah, one of Kristine’s Earth Angels! Keep the prayers coming from the Heart!  💜


Love from the 💜,
Mary Ann

    Please look into TRUSii Hydrogen! I believe it can help you with your daily energy and overall healing and it’s all natural! You can even talk with them about it in the Hyperbaric Chamber which it will push the H2 molecules into your body through breathing and the largest living organism, your skin! Look into it! I know I qualified for the machine to be paid for and I’m just waiting on delivery!

    You are definitely a strong and positively powerful person! I remember the swim across well as you finished with amazing will, then cheered and inspired us to finish strong! Use your determination and strength to fight Millie out. As you do, I want you to know we are all here to cheer and inspire you through just as you have done for us. Love you my friend 💕

    Hi Kristine, thinking about you often throughout the day. Your voice enters my head “what are you going to do about it”? I hope to get the chance to hear that voice again soon. In the mean time Jackson and I send you heart healing prayers. 🌊🌊🌊

    Love the humor in the midst of all of this, I can hear you as you proclaim this and see your beautiful smile. Prayers for you and your family as you kick Millie out.

    Everyone keeps talking about you "kicking" Millie out, but it sounds more like you will be "blowing" her out!! I LOVE the sense of humor; it reminds me of my family back in Ohio and how we always rally when anything happens to any one of us (five kids plus mom and dad, five spouses now, thirteen grandkids - we just keep growing our own village, not even including all the friends who surround each of them/us!!). Your situation, communicated with vulnerability yet knowing such strength that is within you, coupled with the response of the community, are SOO heartening! Blessings to you and all who know you. A long-winded message, as usual (from me), but isn't that how this comment started?!?! Many, many Hugs to you. Keep up the GREAT work!!
