I was in Georgia doing an internship and Brooke and the boys joined me in late June.  After they were there with me for 3 days I found sores and was extremely ill.  One trip to the Doctor and I found the Staph Infection was not killed.  One call to my insurance found that they would not cover this s it was a "preexisting condition".  So hello free health care in Calgary, Alberta, Canada.  One call to my dad had me on a flight the next day and into the hospital in Calgary I went.  Many tests and IVs and consults with infection disease specialists and I needed to go to a new clinic for MRSA Infections.

One appointment later I found I had infection over my body and internally.  There is no actual treatment but some new regimes they are coming up with so they put me down for experimentation.  A few days alter Brooke and hey boys flew up to Calgary and we have been here for over a month.  I am feeling much better and still waiting on some experiment and home made medicine the clinic is making.  I have made many "plans" of when I would return to GA or school but everything was completely up in the air.

However, with some faith, better communication and blessings I am planning to return to GA on the 1st of August with the family.  I will not complete my internship hours and it is likely I have a resistant recurrent infection and may live it forever.  So I can get sores and ill easily but I am not contagious unless I get sores.  I honestly felt like a leaper when I first came here, I was so scared to infect my family and others.  Now I understand all about the infection and have done research on this "un-tested illness".

So we look to the future... I am still tired and out of it but I realize now that life goes on... and so must I. 

So the BLAM Family will see you down the road:)
