Both a tradition and a goal, ringing the bell at Biologix represents that a patient has achieved a personal state of wellness. Today, I got to witness this beautiful ceremony as Daniel rung the bell. He isn't 100% yet, but he says he is close enough that he expects to be there in the near…
As this week comes to a close, I find myself a little emotional. It's not just my last day, it's the last day Biologix will be open here in Wichita. They are moving the center to Tennessee. This is a great move for the clinic and patients. They will be able to offer additional therapies…
When my kids were little and we were traveling, I would sing this song: We're almost there We're almost there Just around the bend And we'll be there again The girls at Biologix make friendship bracelets for the patients - they tag them with inspirational quotes to help keep us encouraged. This one in particular…
One of the young patients at Biologix shared her encouragement with us today, writing uplifting words and phrases in chalk at every entrance. Her journey hasn't been easy, but she pushes on and brings us along with her. If you are struggling with hope, let her words pour over you and give you the strength…
Or rather, back in Kansas again! I am at Biologix in Wichita for another week of treatment. There are a lot of mixed emotions this trip. For one, the center is moving to Tennessee and this is the last week they'll be open in Wichita. This is a good move for the center as well…
My least favorite interview questions are the ones about plans. "What’s your 5 year plan?" "Where do you see yourself in 10 years?" Good grief - I don’t know where I’m gonna be at the end of the day! Don't get me wrong - it makes sense that we should plan for the future, to…
I've been back in Kansas for another 5 days of treatment. It's once again been such an encouraging experience - leaving me filled with hope. I was in a lot of pain when I got here and feeling a little discouraged, but my pain level is down today and I am leaving with new tools…
In addition to daily doctor visits, you spend 5-6 hours in various therapies each day. These are tailored by your doctor to the needs of your body. Let me take a moment here to say the gals who coordinate these therapies are essentially a therapy in themselves with their smiles and laughter, and the love…
Today is the last day of this visit and I have pretty mixed emotions. I am so missing home - my kids and grands. But the people who have cared so lovingly for me these last 3 weeks will be deeply missed. Of all the people I’ve met here at the Biologix Center (formerly Hansa),…
"And those who were seen dancing were thought to be insane by those who could not hear the music." ~Friedrich Nietsche At one point, I had 135 symptoms related to Lyme and tick diseases that I've talk about with medical doctors who both treat disease and try to ease the symptoms. I’ve realized there are…
