Lots of updates

 We are extremely blessed!  I've fallen behind on here on blogging. A lot has happened. Let me try and catch up briefly on a few things. Eric's neurologist in Vegas thinks that Eric will recover. Eric's last EEG showed improvements. Less brain burn out and an increase in brain energy.  We did an exercise test in San Francisco that showed abnormalities on every level possible.  I'll try and post those results maybe.  After being a stay-at-home mom for 18 years I was amazed that I didn't even have to look for a job but they just started falling out of the sky in my lap.  I worked briefly as the housekeeper for two different hotels/bed and breakfast. I was offered Allison's pantry.  I was able to get a full-time job working from home with benefits for $14.15 hour.  It's a start. I went to school for X-ray and ultrasound but there are only three x-ray positions in the entire County with no openings currently.  One of the X-ray techs is due to retire in about 2 years and the other one is 67. So something will come open sooner or later.  I start my full time job with benefits, working from home tomorrow. It will be easier on Eric me and the kids with me working from home. I finished my first Alison's pantry order.  It was far from flawless but it went well for the most part. It will get easier and faster as I learn the products.

Salt Lake

    We are here in Salt Lake City lying in bed at 5:45 a.m. waiting for our Dr appointment at 7 at the University of Utah covid 19 long hauler clinic.  We aren't holding our breathe because no one seems to have a cure for long covid but we are hopeful that if there's any help to be had it's going to be here.  This clinic is supposed to be on the same level as the Mayo clinic.  Eric was diagnosed with long covid at the Covid aftercare clinic in Vegas but they offered no treatment or advice or anything. They only sent us to specialists to see what the extent of damage was. We are hoping this University of Utah clinic will offer some sort of treatment. 

     The test results from the specialists have all been negative so far meaning his lungs and heart and brain look good. We have one last test result we are waiting on- the EEG.
