I promised you all an update and Team Canterwood (and our friends, especially Alex, Lauren, Becca, Katherine, Bri, and Andi) have been so supportive with e-mails, Facebook messages, etc.
I don't want to put too much of Kate's personal medical history online, but this last visit at Mayo was good and bad. Good because we have a surgery scheduled. Bad because doctors still don't know how to stop/help her with the screaming pain she's in every day.
We're going back to Mayo for the third time the second week of October. Kate is going to have surgery where doctors will try to find a cause for her pain. It's extremely exciting to have this chance, but also absolutely terrifying because of the fear that they won't find anything.
So, we are both very nervous and anxious right now. Going back to the hospital is not fun. I don't know how Kate has done it so many times. She still edits Canterwood while living every day for the past year and a half with a pain that medication won't cover. Pain that makes her scream. It's heartbreaking to witness and there's a helpless feeling.
We thank you all for being there to back us--your support has brought happy tears to Kate's eyes more times than you know.
I ask you all to send good wishes into the universe for Kate on October 11th--the date of her surgery. I'll create a Facebook page as soon as I have time.
Thank you, guys. We love you all!

GOOD LUCK KATE and get well soon!! Trust me, there is an end to everything bad eventually. i promise. it sometimes takes longer than we would like, and sometimes the results aren't exactly what we envisioned them to be, but in the end, EVERYTHING works out ok. Jessica, if you read this, you and kate please keep this in mind. And making something right is tough sometimes, but you will all get through. BELIEVE IN HAPPY ENDINGS!!!!!!

I really hope Kate gets better. She's this amazing person full of immense resilence and she's a fabulous personality for having good taste when it comes to Canterwood and chick-lit.
