Great news from Jaimie Augustine

Hello Friends and Family,

I am beyond thankful and glad to announce that I am home and cured of Cushing's Disease! I could not ask for a better Christmas gift.

Just yesterday I arrived in San Diego from Portland after spending 4 weeks recovering from surgery. Recovery is still going to take anywhere from six months to a year as I wean off of replacement steroids. Yes, I know it is very strange for a person like me to be going through steroid withdraws. Never did I think I would experience what it is like to go through withdraws like an addict, but the doctor says the harder the withdraw the better. Simply put, it means that all of the tumor was removed and that is a GOOD thing.

Thank you all for your prayers and support. I look forward to visiting with many of you again soon.
Have a blessed holiday season and I hope this new year brings you all the best.

With Love and Thanks,
Jaimie
