Jennifer Haughton's Wellness Journey

LAST AND FINAL UPDATE

We again just want to thank anyone who graciously contributed to this social fund and to all who have continued to pray for us.  This journey has been long and rough.  

We have decided that due to major financial strain we are unable to continue any major form of treatments for Jenn or Avery at this time and will be just doing our best with where God has has us with the tools we have. (Clean food/water/certain nutrients/etc..)  We are thankful for the small progress we have seen in Jenn but unfortunately it hasnt felt permanent at this point.  We are slowly coming to terms with the fact that its possible she may not get any better and have been wrestling and praying through what looks to be our reality. Your continued prayers for us and our hearts through all this are appreciated as we continue to daily walk through trying to accept where God has us and work on not fighting and battling so hard for change to appear, for we are very weary.  And when one has been fighting so long (both the sick ones and the care takers) and doesn't see lasting change one needs to then battle not to become bitter.

We thank Jenn's parents (Bill & Rita) for all their love and continued financial support over these last several months.  They have showed God's love and grace to us through this time and we are humbled and thankful.  

Over the last couple months Avery received tests results back showing he too has very high mycoplasma, strep, and aspergillus mold like Jenn.  He was treated a couple times in Bellevue.  He battles different symptoms than Jenn and thankfully doesnt have her bad neurological issues.  We will be doing our best to help him finish up his protocol from the doctor and see where we land.  

Along this journey we have met some kind and wonderful people.  We have witnessed jaw dropping amounts of people who suffer in silence like we have.  It has been very eye opening and heart wrenching to realize the depths and amount of suffering that is going on around the country from this disease.  
Please know we feel there is HOPE, many get their lives back, but its a multifaceted issue and for some the damage that has taken place can be irreversible. (This could be Jenn's case, only time will tell)  That said, we will keep the hope alive and keep taking one day and moment at a time.  Trusting our Heavenly Father with each day and doing our best with what we have been given, giving God all the glory and praise.  

I have worked hard to get the mold out of our RV and will be taking Jenn and Avery south in it for the winter to keep them in the sun.  This has proven to be better for them and for me. Hoping it won't be too taxing on Jenn to travel and we can just keep working on what we can to help her function.  We are not giving up hope, we just need to rest, pray, and figure things out differently.  

Thank you all for your kindness, graciousness and support!!  

All our love,
Rick and Jenn

THIRD UPDATE (5/29/19)

We wanted to give an update of where we are at with Jenn's health and our living situation.  

We moved back home beginning of January and have been staying with Jenns parents (Bill n Rita) while we figure things out.  Our RV was in the shop for some time and has been repaired finally.  Thanks to Bill and Rita's support we have taken Jenn back over to Bellevue 3 times since January for treatment.  The last 2 times she was able to do the multipass ozone treatment. (1st being 5 passes and 2nd being 7 passes)  This has shown us some promise with moving her forward.  Although she has been hit with 12hr migraines, a severe case of tonsillitis, and continued days of her head being very off balance/vertigo, in the last 2 weeks we have seen some improvement with her energy and head consistency that we are just praying are glimpses of hope towards actually functioning better again. Her doctor wants her to come back every 4 weeks for multipasses at least 8 more times while still supporting her mitochondria and immune system with supplements.  She will be looking further into her thryoid issues as well.   With the 2 days we are over in Bellevue each visit Jenn will also continue to see the systemic dentist specialist and spinal jaw specialist for her jaw and cervical instability she contends with.  

(Jenn is also working with a couple liver/pancreatic doctors in Spokane and is set to have yet another endoscopy along with an endoscopic ultrasound to check all of her biliary and pancreatic ducts.  She will also meet with a specialist concerning all the lipomas her body has been growing since her last surgery).

We have decided to keep this fundraiser going as we are really struggling with being able to pay for treatments and travel expenses and could use all the support we can get. If this weren't enough,  unfortunately we do not just have Jenn's health issues now but also our 2nd sons as well.  Although different symptoms then his mom, he deals with symptoms that have been keeping him back from living life. After things started getting worse we decided to have him tested as well.  Turns out he has high mycoplasma pneumonia and aspergillus mold like Jenn along with positive bartonella and low immunoglobulin markers that we have yet to go over with the doctor.  So our next visit back to Bellevue we will be going over his labs and talking about what steps to take with helping him out.

We want to thank all of you who take the time to pray for our family and for those who have graciously given money to help us pay for Jenn's treatments.  We are humbly grateful for your love and care and we thank you with all our hearts!

RICK and JENN
