Noember 28th A quick note from me… Our little blood pressure cuff talks to us. At first we thought it annoying. But its nice when we can just listen and put it into the ipad. I should name her. Give me names. Usually she says “according to the World Health Organization, your blood presssue is….” mild or high hypertension is …
We Turkeyed and We Trotted.
November 24th (Wednesday) seemed like an eventful and positive day overall. I mean, you all tell me to take this one day at a time so….I know if was just yesterday but I’m already getting foggy! So it was a high alarm day and I had that horrible tight gut nervous feeling when the machine alarmed 3x!!! during priming. Its …
“Mom, you missed them”
I said to Hatcher on the way to school today…”so you never have homework. Will I go to parent-teacher conference and find out you are failing or something?” Hatcher: mom, you missed parent-teacher conferences. ******************************* I came home and my friend was dropping a gift off from another friend. We had texted earlier and she said she would get cream …

November 18th Days blur quickly. The machine hums..almost always. There’s rarely a day without and appointment or a pressing issue. My dog won’t obey at all and I want to rehome him. Cora won’t let me (I’m half kidding) Mark can’t get a break. He is in so much pain. So much pain. Today radiating down his left leg. Very …
A Good Day
cuz we needed one! November 15th ** We left the hospital at 1/1:30 Saturday and headed home. Mark felt pretty good. Some friends came over with food and conversation and that was good for the soul. That morning, while Mark was in dialysis, I ran home to clean and my friend and a portion of her family joined me so …
Friday
Thankfully I do not have much to report today. As I went to “bed” last night I felt sad again. I want Mark to feel well, to have energy and to feel whole again. I don’t want him to wonder if he will see the future of our kids. I think I’m okay but then I think about the possibility …
Thursday
The night was good, we had a great nurse who is a believer and one of 19 kids. She is from Liberia, Africa. We thought Mark would get a scope this morning and thats why he was no food or drink after midnight but when the doctor came to see him he told him he couldn’t have that procedure when …
Finishing up Wednesday
I took some notes so I might remember it all… So far he has recieved 3 units of blood. As far as I know the RBC (red blood cells) are holding but I’ll need to ask for sure. Between the back, the weird stomach/chest/upper GI pain and some abdomen pain…it took a bit to get it all under control. He …
A Set Back
Today during dialysis, things seemed off. The machine was going off but he wasn’t doing the normal things that might set it off. He said he didn’t feel awesome this morning.He started out weighing less again (remember we don’t take fluids off right now) and with about 45 mins left he was trying to eat and felt like food was …
Never underestimate your Chiro!!
Nov 8th short and sweet. We had State Finals for CC on Saturday and sadly…Mark could could not go, even though he seriously considered it several times. It was a great running day weather wise…and we were seeded at 6th…so to come out as 2nd was HUGE!!! When you read articles about Hart…how they were a bit scared of Kent …
