I am asking you all to be in fervent prayer for my girlfriend, Thank you, I am sure this is a test of God...
"hey everyone....
I'm writing this to ask you all to please pray for me...
I'm very sick. :( I started to not feel good Monday afternoon.
It started with just my joints aching. Tuesday morning around 5 am
I woke up freezing cold and shivering so badly that my whole body was shaking.
Same thing happened again on Tuesday. I'd wake up freezing cold around 5 am and then later on around 9ish I'm sweating heart racing and feeling like i cant breathe.
Wednesday my mom took me to the doctors. I had a fever of 106 and I was having a really hard time breathing. the doctor thought i had pneumonia and sent me for x-rays but the x-rays came back negative. So we're not really sure whats going on.... the doctor has put me on an antibiotic and an inhaler to help me breathe. I wasn't getting enough oxygen and couldn't move air through my lungs.
It was rather scary. But anyways....today is Thursday....and I had a really bad night with all of this. Thankfully my mom woke up and decided to check on me this was around 5 am. the medication to keep my fever down was completely out of my system and I couldn't move on my own because of how weak i was and my heart was racing and I couldn't hardly breathe. It was really scary...and....I'm still really scared. :(
so....yeah with all of that being said....please please pray that I start getting better.....and if not...then please pray that the doctors can figure out whats wrong....My doctor was really confused about this cause she was really sure that i had pneumonia....and with that being negative if I'm not getting better within a couple of days they're going to do tests to find out what is going on....one of the tests that my doctor already mentioned has to do with poking me in the spine....
but yeah...please everyone...please pray."
"trying to keep everyone updated...
I'm not doing better :(
somethings are actully worse than before...
I'm going back to the doctors tomorrow.
they're going to do a spinal tap and a few other tests
to hopefully find out whats wrong with me.
please keep my family and i in your prayers.
and the doctors too that they can find out whats wrong
and find out how to fix it.
thanks so much everyone.
I really appreciate all your prayers.
Bee"
"ok....so here's the long awaited update....
I went to the emergency room early this morning (Monday).
My temp was back up to 103 when i woke up this morning...and was
only back down to 100.9 when we got to the ER.
The hospital is about 45 mins to an hour away from our house...
I think it took us roughly 30 mins to get there this morning.
Dad flew...ha. but anyways...so we get there...they do the basic stuff..
take my temp, check my heart rate...which was out of control.
and a few other important things like ask if i'm allergic to any medications.
they then take me to an exam room and draw blood, put an IV in, check my
ears and throat.....and the doctor says..''Strep. its a classic case.'' so they do a strep test... Negative. so I'm really dehydrated so they're pumping me with fluids as fast as they can....and needing me to pee in a cup...(great fun...its harder than squatty potties people...trust me. :-P ) I couldnt go though at fist...so... they then did a spinal tap.
I really liked my Doctor...he was really nice and told me what all was going on.
so they did the spinal tap (which your numb for) and...i have to say....it felt really weird. I cant really even describe it to you. it didnt hurt at all just felt really weird.
THEN he shows me the needle. haha. yeahhh....that was...a really big needle.
ANYWAYS after several tests and a few hours later...
the doctor comes back and tells me ''You have Mono.''
and that I have a really sever case of mono...
it came back in my blood work (which was the FIRST tests they ran...)
but I really really needed all of the fluids they put in to me.
soooo......after feeling really crappy for a week already...I get to still feel crappy for who knows how much longer...yay me! *(please note...that was REALLY REALLY sarcastic.) Theres really nothing they can do for Mono just keep my fever down and lots of rest and liquids. Thank you all so much for all of your prayers...and please continue to pray that I get better soon and that none of my friends or family get sick.
Thanks again.
Feeling Sick,
Bee"
"first off...
Thank you all so much. I really appreciate the prayers.
so a quick updateish type thing....
I had more blood work done yesterday...
follow up appointment today....
basically my spleen is enlarged (which is common for Mono)
but...something is really messed up with my Liver.
I didnt understand everything but from what my doctor said
normal, healthy function ranges in a number from 9 to 51 ....
My liver...is over 600 right now. (which is bad.) she was hoping that
from Monday (when i went in to the ER) till today that it would have gone down...
but it has actully gone up by more than 100. (it was a little over 500 monday)
I guess from what the doctor said is that with the liver function being so bad
it can mess up my blood platelets (the stuff that makes your blood clot and stop
you from bleeding to death) she said that I'm a really lucky girl because as of yesterdays blood work my platelets are normal.
well we all know I'm not lucky. I have a TONNNN of people praying for me and I really really appreciate all of your prayers....they're whats keeping me alive right now.
Thanks again!!!!
I love you all.
Bee"
