PBS Newshour - Piece On Fluoroquinolone Toxicity Aired 6-16-11

Nearly every time I share my story, I meet someone who has been affected by FQ toxicity or who knows someone who has OR knows someone who has mysterious health issues that then lead to a discovery of past FQ exposure.  PBS Newshour aired this story (link below) last night.  It's an emotional journey for me to hear/learn all of this.  I'm trying to also make it an empowering one by sharing as much information as I can in the hopes that others out there won't have to wait as long as I did to find an answer and begin doing whatever they can to heal as much as possible.

Memorial Day 2011 Slideshow



Just playing around with the photo settings on Blogger. There is a HUGE delay between uploading slideshows to Picasa and them being available to link to within the slideshow function on Blogger. Really annoying. So to combat that I'm "sharing" the slideshows as I upload them to Picasa.

Sooooooooo....you should be able to click on this picture above and be taken to the full slideshow for viewing. Let me know if it works!

We spent Memorial Day down in Kure Beach at a condo right on the beach. I have to say - that's the way to go when you have little guys out on the beach all day. Up to the condo for lunch and a nap - then back out to the beach! Blake and Devlyn had a tv in their bedroom and you would have thought we won Megabucks when they found it in there upon our arrival. They were freaking out excited about it. So funny. We met another young family with 2 boys the same ages as Blake & Devlyn and they had a blast playing in the surf together. The weather was spectacular and we had the special bonus of hanging out with Connor while we were there. Nice to spend some time with him and the boys were in heaven having him around. He's a very attentive cousin to them and obviously more like an uncle! Had to keep a close eye as Devlyn has begun to lose a little fear with the big water. He got tossed around a few times. Luckily, Blake is still petrified of going in beyond mid-shin so that's good!

Alrighty - well after catching bits and pieces of basketball talk as the NBA finals have dragged on for what seems like a year - I'm actually a little interested in the games at this point. Time to sign off and watch a little. Bye : )
