Putting my body back together, piece by piece

Some of you have asked, how things have been going with my health recently. Then I realized I have not written any updates in a while. So many other things have been going on the daily not so fun health issues I’m dealing with I have tried to push under the covers. Not that I am not dealing with it all, I am, just choosing to be more positive about my situation and work through the pain, after-all, I gotta keep going. I have five little people that are counting on me. I feel bad that I have not been able to be my complete self, and that Daddy has had to help do a lot of things that are normally my job. Thankfully though, my hubby is awesome like that, and he has more than lifted a hand, two, and so much more to make my life a little easier. Thank you sweetie!!

I have been going through physical therapy, and will continue it, three times a week. It has been painful, but is also helping to relieve some of the pressure I have on my spinal cord. I was doing lasix therapy, but after I got my recent blood work done, my numbers were way too low and I was feeling faint all the time and my heart was racing way too fast, so the doctor took me off it. I’ve continued with my pain meds and added a new anti-inflammatory to the mix. Thanks to some lovely sleep pills and the combo off my other meds, I have finally been able to get some much needed sleep at night. :) Next week I’ll be seeing a new doctor, about my treatment and medications, to make sure I’m on the right path to getting better.

Glad to hear of some progress but we know the prayers need to be redoubled and are doing just that as Logan, and you see the doctors. His strength, leading and peace for you all.

Love & prayers
