Back from my hospital stay...

[Christiansmommy]

Hope all is well. Please keep us posted. I am sorry that you aren't feeling well. I am glad to hear , though, that you met those people during your last hospital stay...that wasn't by accident that you did...God placed you both there for a reason, and i am sure something good has to at least come from that...

Anyway, feel better.

I'm back. My doctor was concerned that I had a blood clot from the IV in my arm and lungs, so I got to do an array of tests today. I wonder if I'll glow tonight?

Luckily, my lungs are OK, no clots. My hemoglobin levels are up to 10, so that is good.

He doesn't know why my arm hurts, so he gave me two doses of Vioxx this morning and told me to take the same dose tomorrow morning. If I don't feel better by Wednesday, he gave me the names of two rheumatologists to make an appointment with.

He thinks my shortness of breath and fatigue is due to the anemia.

Just wanted to give an update.

Thanks for the update Kelly. I'm so sorry you've had such a rough go of this and you will continue to be in my prayers.

{{{gentle hugs}}} Continuing prayers for you; too. Please keep us updated.

Thank you Amberlee and Slick.

I went to my GI again today for another followup. He got lots of results back and they are good. He did a genetic testing for Celiac disease, as my sypmtoms in the ER and hospital are quite similair to that. It was negative...that's a good thing, as I would be able to have wheat anything. No thanks!!

I'm still really anemic and my arm still hurts. I have an appointment with a rheumatologist tomorrow at 4:00.

Some SUPER great news???? I got in touch with my school and they have a program that I'm going to apply for. I have an appointment at 10:00 Thursday morning. It basically is for students with disabilities. I'll get to have a special parking permit (way too tired to trek up hills to get to class, and I freak out I wont find a spot and I have to go potty...then I get worse from there) and if I miss classes because I'm sick (like I always do), I can get notes and the teachers can help me out with lecture material. I'm so happy. I am a 4.0 student, but my transcript is TERRIBLE with all the classes I've had to drop. I feel so much better emotionally regarding this. Yay!!!

Kelly, I'm so glad to hear that things are looking up for you. Please feel better soon and take care of yourself. {{{HUGS}}}

Great news about the school, Kelly. The hospital test results sound good, too, but I don't quite understand them (It's been a long, hard day. )

Kelly I hope you are feeling better and your classes work out for you!
