Well, we are back finally. I have just been so busy trying to get use to working again and juggling everything else. Soon I hope to be able to post often. I miss blogging and reading other blogs to see how "my blog family" is doing. I haven't even been taking many pictures of Abby either and that is hard for me because I want to capture every minute of her life.
Abby has been sick so much lately too. She has been to 5 doctors is two weeks. To kinda sum up everything...she is over 1oox more allergic to ants than a normal person is. What does this mean you ask? She will have to start immunotherapy next week and get a shot once a week for the next several years at least. The doctor is going to inject ant venom once a week so that maybe after 5 years or so taking these shots, she will build up some antibodies. She had a bad allergic reaction last summer to ants and stopped breathing. So I thought maybe she needed to be tested. The doctor said her next ant bite could be FATAL. So I carry an Epi-pen with me at all times and the daycare has one to. This is so hard for me to even think about this. She starts her shots next Wed. Also, (I know as if that wasn't enough), she has to have a CT scan of her sinuses for possible sinus surgery. She has her CT on May 7. SO PLEASE KEEP US IN YOUR THOUGHTS AND PRAYERS. She has been through so much in the 2 years we have had her so I just pray she doesn't have to have another surgery.
And now some news about my heart. I know some of you have been thinking about me. So here it is. As you know my heart surgery did not work and I was put on medication. Well, I had some bad reactions to the medicine (lots of swelling in my arms and legs from extra fluid and trouble breathing from the extra fluid). Doctor changed that med to another one. Well, the same thing has happened. He put me on some fluid medicine to help see if it helps. The swelling is so bad in my feet and legs that I can barely walk. I also have to go for a lung function test to see if the fluid is affecting my lungs. I will keep everyone posted when I find anything out.
