LONG TIME COMING

I know it has been a long time since I posted, Have not been well and don't know if I will ever be again or not. So many things has happen since my last one, I will try to get you up to date. Have not even read any ones blog lately. Looking forward to 2011 maybe it will be better. I will try to finish this blog.


I got sick Dec. 21 at about 4 am. I got sick at my stomach, then diarrah, then come the blood. I poured blood all day. Coy had a Dr. appt for 2:45, did not know if I would be able to go with him or not. I called Nancy to see if she could meet him over there if I was not able. She thought I had a virus, I did not tell her what was going on. I did get to feeling better,not so sick at my stomach. We went on to the Dr. found out Coy needs a total shoulder, his rotator cuff is completely gone. We would have to see another Dr. They would call with an appointment. We came straight home from there. Nancy had hired a girl to come clean my house for my Christmas present and she was here finishing up when we returned. I was so sick, I came in and immediately went a laid down in the living room. I kept thinking the blood would stop, but it didn't. I still told no one how bad I was. I went to bed, got up on Wed. morning and I was no better as I knew that, it was all night. I called my gastro Dr. as soon as he opened, told the nurse what was going on and Dr. Hardin called me back personally, told me to come straight to the hospital, if I came to his office he would just have to send me somewhere else to get test run, so it would be better if I came straight to the Hospital, in which I did. I was there before 9:30. Was going to take shower and wash my hair before I went but he said no come now.

They run blood test of all kinds, hooked me up to IV, did a CT scan and admitted me.

Well when they admitted me I knew I had to tell someone where I was. So I finally called Nancy after I got in my room which was nearly time for her to get off work and I knew she would be calling me as she always does to check up on us. I told her not to come over, I would call her later. I guess she told some of the other kids Maranda called and said they was coming up, Rochell had to see some one as they was coming in on a plane and they was going to the airport.

I was so sick. As soon as I got sick the day before I begin my liquid diet. They kept me on it for 6 days. I was really getting weak. No energy. They did O&P and cultures the next day.

Dr. Hardin said he thought I had food poisioning that just completely made a mess out of my colon. I already had Diverticulum and that caused Diverticulitis and ulcerated colitis so I was in real bad shape and besides that I was dehydrated so they poured the liquids in me.

There I was laid up in the bed and needing to exercise my knee to keep it from getting stiff and didn't even feel like holding my head up. I slept a lot taking pain medicine, the pain was so bad.

I begin having water stools. That was bad and the odor was awful.

Thanks for everyone prayers, that is how I made it through. God is so Good. Sometimes he puts us through things so we can be a blessing to someone else.
