Not Cancer

Well I was in the Hospital all last week and finally got to go Home Friday afternoon. It all started 2 weeks ago. I hade gone to the doctors on monday. I had an infected sore in my ear and Broncitis. I was given atibiotocs, fine the normal so I started taking them, Wednesday night about midnight I was laying in bed and my whole body got tingly. You know when your leg falls asleep and you get that tingly feeling well thats what I felt all over my body and my heart started pounding really fast and I was shaking and short of breath. It lasted for an hour and so we decided to go to emergency. I was scared. I had no clue what it was. I am not one to go in just because, 1st, becasue I hate waiting and 2nd because I don't want to feel stupid when they tell me its nothing!. So we go in and my blood pressure was high. They took blood test and made me test fot drugs! I guess when people come in like that they assume drugs! and everything came back normal. They couldn't tell me anything. So I went home. Friday comes along and I am still not getting better, I'm getting worse. I started having a fever and the cold shakes that you can't control and my ear was hurting so bad!!! I thought I had an ear infection. So we see Dr. Christensen Friday night and he tells me I don't have an ear infection and I'm just sick. So he puts me on more antibiotics. I only get worse and we can't figure out what it is. Saturday I still have the fever and everything else. I was freezing cold so I was covered up and my temp got to 106 under the covers so we took the covers off and my temp droped pretty quick. we called the on call doctor just to make sure that that was ok. and he said that is normal. Its when the temp doesn't go down, is when you need to worry. So there goes another day of misery! Sunday I woke up about 3:ooam with the shakes and a fever of 104 we couldn't get the fever to go down so I went to emergency. they started me on an iv and did more blood tests. everything kept coming back normal. My Doctor guy had seen me in the Er earlier that week so he said that I wouldn't leave until we figured out what was wrong. THANK YOU!!! I was so tired of being sick. they did a Spinal puncture to get spinal fluids becasue they thought it might be Meningitis. Let me tell you it HURT sooo bad! Negative for meningitis!gratefull I guess but still didn't know what was wrong. How frusterating! they did say that my white blood count was really low. Normal count is 8, around there, and mine was like a 1.5 . Not so good. So they admitted me. I was in a secluded room at the end of the hall and everyone who entered the room had to wear a mask, because I could easly get sick. They started me on all kinds of antibiotics and I broke out in a rash and hives, all over my body. After a couple days and still not getting better, my white blood count was still the same, Dr. Christensen called in another Doctor who specializes in internal medicince. He comes and startes telling me that only cancer and Lucemia patients had blood counts that low and he tells me that I might have to do a bone marrow test to see if I do have canancer. Talk about FREAKED out!!! nobody wants to hear that. Well it kinda got spread around the Hospital and even to alot of other people that I had Cancer. So just to clear everyone who heard that, I don't have cancer. They gave me some shots to boost my white blood count and It worked! over the next 2 days my whit blood count had gone up to almost normal. YEAH!! they think it was my antiobiotis that I was alergic to. I was on Sulfa and Levaquin. The Sulfa they think caused my blood count to drop. Its rare but it can happen. and they think that taking the Levaquin caused the rash and Hives. So after a full week in the hospital I am starting to get better and people don't have to wear the masks anymore, they discharged me on Friday. YEAH!! that was the longest week of my life! I couldn't do anything but sit there and fear the worst. I couldn't see my kids wich was the hardest!! not being in control. that was really hard for me! Thank you so much mom, for taking care of the kids and getting austin to school. I don't know what we would have done! We LOVE both you and dad so much! Thank you! So I am still on a couple antibiotics that don't make me feel the greatest but each day gets better. I am so thankfull for prayer and the power of Priesthood blessings. I had a couple of them and I knew that everything would be ok. that it was in the Lords hands and he would take care of me and my family and he did. I am so gratefull that it turned out ok. It was not fun but were all ok. Sorry about the novel but this is our Journal so I needed to make sure I said it all. Thank you to all who prayed for us and helped out in one way or another. We appreciate all of you!
