I'm Still Alive

Well, it's been some time since my last documentation. It seems I worked myself into a big bunch of trouble. It started with a simple sinus infection and led to multiple doses of antibiotics and little rest and I ended up in the emergency room with a oxygen saturation of less than 88% on room air. My labs were all out of whack and it see,\ms i scared my family to death. If it had not been for all the prayers and phone calls,I may not have done as well as I am. I was in the hospital for about a week, and am still not back to work, but will be seeing the doctor next wk and see how things are going. For someone who never drinks, smokes, or does drugs, it seems that disease is no respecter of anyone. My poor lungs seemed to have been attacked and now it will just take time and rest. I am so thankful for my family, especially my husband. He stepped up so quickly, and took charge of my care. I'm not sure if I would still be here without him. It seems that while I was being rushed from department for tests, the hospital went on diversion status and all the ER patients were going to be transferred to other hospitals. As I returned to the ER department, I saw patients being wheeled out and I began to panic. Pat had contacted hospital administration and I was going to be admitted to the hospital, thank you Heavenly Father. I was assigned a private room and settled into bed and placed on 4 liters of oxygen and given wonderful drugs to help me breath. Pat stayed with me the entire time until i fell asleep. Pat and the kids were at the hospital everyday. My mom and sister and brother called every day and I was so excited to hear from Katie in Finland, I even got to hear my little nugget coo over the phone. It made my day and helped me to breath better.
As I said, I'm home now, and will be going back to see the doctor next Tuesday. This will be an exciting week as Trisha will be taking her driving test, so she can drive me to work and home. My sugars have gone sky high, and Trisha and Kyle are giving me insulin. This will be short termed though, my sugars will be coming down as my medication decreases.
My goal is to be healthy 100% because Katie, Jyri, and The Nugget (Kai) are going in December and I have so much shopping to prepare and buy baby furniture!
