Noon

Today has been one of those days where every hour feels like two hours. It's funny how some days I don't seem to have enough hours to do everything and other days I feel like I'm lost in a sea of hours. Honestly it's not very often that I have those extra time days but when they hit me it makes it seem as if all I know is a long day. The funny thing is I've been cleaning and playing with my little one and usually that makes time fly by. I only have two loads of laundry left to do and everything in my house will be washed and dried. I've already unloaded, loaded and ran the dishwasher and dusted the living room and foyer. I'm debating on taking a peak in the play room.  I better not since it's already noon and I can get lost in there for hours. I still must shower and pick up my first grader. Then it'll be time to run home, feed KayLee a snack and let her rest for a few before running out to yet another doctors appointment. I feel like I live at the doctors office now. :-( I would have assumed I'd be feeling super terrific with my blood level being 9 and my potassium pumped up. Too bad that's not the case. I have been suffering miserably with leg and hand cramps. I get cramps in my hands so easily lately. Just washing dishes today had me yelling twice because I could not stop my hand from cramping. As soon as it left it came right back. As far as my last blood test on Friday, all my leves looked good. I've been drinking all day and taking my vitamins. So what is the deal?  It's so frustrating.

Like right now, I feel exhausted just from typing this. How nuts is that?  Goodness I hope my hematologist has some answers for me today. I have an exciting day coming up Thursday and nothing is going to keep me from it. I'm a parent chaperone for my daughters class trip. We are going to see Cinderella!

Oh I need to blog about my newest interest but I better go get cleaned up and showered so I'm not rushing later when it's time to pick up KayLee.  Stay tuned for my blog about making homemade cleaners and detergents. Yes I know so exciting, right? Trust me if you like clean clothes and saving money, it is exciting. :-)

So today I was feeling even worse.  How this was possible is beyond me. When my husband gets up for work I usually get up and pack him breakfast and lunch and walk him out. Today I couldn't move. Even after a full night of sleep I was still extremely tired. When my alarm went off I had to get up because I had to get Kay off too school. I struggled but made it.

With each passing hour today I just knew my blood was low. That could be the only reason why I felt so very tired. When I say it took everything in me just to stand up, I'm not kidding. Finally I gave in and hubby took me to the ER. Turns out my hemoglobin wasn't low. It even went up since coming home from the hospital. It was my potassium that dropped. It dropped by a lot. I'm barely above 2.0. Turns out I could have had a heart attack. After a couple of EKGs and some potassium they let me go home. I have to go back tomorrow but at least I'm home now with my husband and kids.

Oh and let me not forget to mention this killer steak my husband cooked tonight. Wow wow wow!!!  It was super fantastic!

Well I better go rest now. I feel wiped out just from sitting up.

Before I go though I want to say I'm on Day 4 of my marriage fasting. Again I cannot say how blessed this time has been. My marriage continues to soar. The Lord is really blessing both my husband nd I with renewed patience and love.

Day 3

My energy has dropped today. A lot. That blood transfusion doesn't seem to have lasted as long as it should have. Struggled against tiredness and a little Crohns pain. Hoping tomorrow will be better.

I'm still holding strong to my fast. My marriage is feeling the renewed strength and glory from our awesome God. Thank you Lord for blessing my marriage. I think there comes a point in a marriage where we take one another for granted. I must remember a marriage worth anything takes work.

Day 2 of my prayer/fast and my heart is content and growing by leaps and bounds. :-)

Day 1 of my praying/fasting to better myself and my marriage. Success. :-)

And the insatiable prednisone hunger continues.
