Merry Christmas Eve from the Williams household! We wish you blessings in the coming year! Denise had another year of thriving and stayed out of the hospital. She loves being involved with the women’s ministry events and art/craft events at our local church. Being local is a good thing, because as has been the trend for years, the fatigue level and other issues secondary to the disseminated Valley Fever she started with in 2005 keep her from being too active. There are lots of other issues, too, with the skin lesions still being pesky. It's disheartening to be several years off of voriconazole and a few years on fluconazole, but still experiencing all the skin issues. I missed yet another Cocci Study Group (this time in San Antonio TX) due to chaperoning my school's 8th grade East Coast trip.
