Nancy is on temporary menopause

At 5am of this Sunday, we initiated a treatment with Lupron. This medication practically induces menopause on women. This is essentially used to prevent ovulation by preventing the production of a hormone that releases the eggs. This seems fine except these are injections! We are not sure there is a person in the planet that likes injections, they are not fun. Anyway, we will be waking up early in the morning, at 5am, in order to have this medication injected. If you are curious, these are the side effects:

Mild burning/pain/bruising at the injection site, hot flashes (flushing), increased sweating, night sweats, tiredness, headache, upset stomach, breast changes, acne, joint/muscle aches, trouble sleeping, reduced sexual interest, vaginal discomfort/dryness, vaginal bleeding, swelling of the ankles/feet, increased urination at night, or dizziness.

So, pray for us. Pray for Nancy because we do not want her to experience any of those side effects. And pray for Pablo because he needs to take good care of Nancy during this difficult time. Thank you for your prayers!

Also, many thanks to those who have supported us financially this past week:

Dr. Gloer with $50
Ulises Flores with $7

Nancy and Pablo
