It has been awhile, hasn't it? I'm so excited to be back. I've been getting back into the normal swing of things since I am HIVE FREE! It only took roughly a year to get to a happy, comfortable place, so I am embracing it! The beginning of 2019 is no better time to get... Continue Reading →
Two weeks ago I went in and received my 7th Xolair injection. I am so unbelievably close to a hive free life. I don't think I have hives daily anymore, and if I do they're not noticeable!

Saturday, June 30th, we finally got moved into our new house! We didn't quite reach our goal of having the walls and floor completely done, but we got to so close!

In the end of June I got my third dose of Xolair. I am finally starting to see some change in my hives! A positive sign, there is still hope!

After visiting the NEMO Humane Society my eyes were open to a whole new world. I fell in love with every cat and dog in the place. Seriously, they're all so perfect in their own way. For about two weeks I was in a bind. I really want to help the animals in the shelter... Continue Reading →
