Back to boring!! (& very happy about it!!)

Well, I, for one, am VERY glad to be back to boring!! LOL! Today was the first day of "normal" since Peanut got out of the hospital & it's been HEAVEN!! Dishes, cleaning, school.....aahhh!! Peanut went to see her kidney specialist last Thursday & got a good report! Her blood pressure is a little on the higher side, but the dr said it was fine considering they didn't send her home on b/p meds! She still has blood & protein in her urine, but the dr said that's normal. We go back the end of April for bloodwork & we are praying that her C3 levels are back up....if they aren't then this isn't Post-strep GN & we're looking at a kidney biopsy & going into the unknown. I'm definitely praying her bloodwork is FINE by then!!

On the ttc front....I'm NOT 21dpo!! LOL!! FF cracks me up!! I'm 0dpo....& waiting. CD37 has always been right around O time for me, but I'm not seeing any ewcm, so my hopes are not up.....I'll wait until CD 50 & then start progesterone.

Saturday I'm going to try on bridesmaid dresses with my SIL...I'm NOT looking forward to it...ick. I'm a "healthy" girl & my SIL & the other bridesmaids aren't...hoping they don't want to see the dresses on me...if they don't fit well I'm not setting foot outside that dressing room!! LOL!

Ok, that's all I have for now! God bless!!

We had a very eventful week...(one I would like to never repeat again!!)

Never dreamed I'd be blogging from the hospital!! Well, we've spent the last 5 days at Children's Medical Center in Dallas! Peanut started having blood in her urine on Friday night (3/7/08) & by Saturday morning (3/8/08) it looked like coffee it was so dark. J-bird (my best friend!), Peanut & I went to Urgent Care & they sent us straight to the ER. Thank goodness Mimi had stayed with Little Miss at home! Darling met us there & the ER almost sent us home with an antibiotic & directions to follow up with our regular dr....but at the last minute they decided to transfer Peanut by ambulance to Children's ER & let their specialists take a look at her. God definitely protected her! She has Post Strep GN...which basically means that the strain of strep she has, produced antibodies that attacked her kidneys causing significant damage & the bleeding. Because of the damage her kidneys could not flush fluids out of her body properly which caused her blood pressure to go up.....to be continued!! I need to get back to Hannah...I promised her we would finish watching Lady & the Tramp when she woke up! Hopefully we'll be sent home tomorrow!!

Ok....I'm finishing this post up from home!! It's now 3/13/08 & we were sent home this morning! 6 days in the hospital & all 3 of us are SOOOOO glad to be home again! So to pick up where I left off....Hannah's fluid retention was causing her blood pressure to go up which caused her kidneys not to function properly & get rid of the extra fluid which caused her blood pressure to go up which caused her kidneys not to function properly & get rid of the extra fluid....you get the idea! So they started her on blood pressure meds & she responded to them slowly & so we waited 3 days for her pressures to become normal again! She's at home now but she'll be healing for 1-6 months. We are taking her blood pressure twice a day & she is on a low sodium diet for at least 2 months....we'll also be seeing a kidney specialist to check her kidney function in about a month. We are so thankful that the Lord's hand was covering Peanut & guiding her doctor's to the right diagnosis! (her high blood pressure, left untreated, would have resulted in kidney failure) Below are a few pics from our hospital stay.

We're back!!!

Ok...some things have happened! My bcp still have NOT come in!! I'm thinking the Lord is trying to tell me something!! LOL! So, we're not on hold....we're ttc! I'm praying, praying, praying that the Lord will heal my body & allow it to work normally....I'd love to be waddling down the aisle as a preggo bridesmaid at my SIL's wedding!! CD14 & counting!!
