My leukemia's back.

[donrae]

Thanks all. Care has been good for the most part. I was here a good 12 hours before I kicked someone out of the room and lodged a complaint lol. Hey, they're the ones that gave me freakin'90 mg of prednisone!!!!!!

We asked for a cardio consult and will see what happens in the am. Doing a lot of praying and just trying not to worry too much.

Had my first batch of chicks finish hatching. Don't have an exact count but approx 2/3 look to be cockerels........the bummer of sex links!

NOOO! Not THAT ...UGH! SO did not want you to have to EVER see the inside of a hospital again! That's a big drop. Maybe they can begin to address the heart issues too.
God, Please bring Rachel peace, healing, knowledge and grace. Give them wisdom to know what is good, right and true. May the guys at home pull together and help out with things and there be no fire,flood or blood at home. Amen Be thinking of you and hoping to hear soon.

Thanks for all your thoughtful responses! I *think* I may build one and buy a thermostat and turner. Meantime my Southern states feed store had so many awesome breeds of chicks today, I was floored. SO hard not to buy the 5 chick minimum! They were teasing and asking if they could help me twist my arm a little.

I said I already did that!

And all God's people said, AMEN. Heavenly Father, I also want to lift Rachel up to you. I pray that you will give her comfort, wisdom to the doctors, compassion to all of her care givers, and I also pray that you will give peace to her Honey and the Locusts. In the precious name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior, we pray.

Rachel, I'm going to ask for prayer for you on the prayer warrior's thread.

Thank you my friends. Today has been spent with the PCP talking to the Hematologist and then both of them talking to OHSU. I'm waiting for transport up there. Just not responding to treatment here and honestly they don't know what else to do. It's a good little hospital but it is small. Today is kind of a wasted day cause it's so late I don't think much will get done by the time I get there. But things can be in place for a workup tomorrow. That facility has moved pretty fast for us in the past.

Appreciate all the prayers. Trying not to be anxious, but this one has me scared. I just don't know if the heart and lungs would be strong enough to do transplant again.

Diet soda/ any soda .  Sweet tea '

I wish I could drink tea..... It gags me.... Worse than beer.

Love the chicks!!
Okay, someone's comment about taking them out to hatch separately just threw me a curve! Say WHAT??   I have only done 1 hatch so *very* much a newbie. .. How do you do that?? Care to share? And has anyone actually made one of these? Or an incubator?  Thinking about it as I can't afford nearly $450 for a Brinsea and reviews on the others aren't awesome. Just want one to be able to hatch up to a dozen or so. Really would like to rent or borrow one or buy a used one. 
And yes, to seeing a cardiologist-a good one!- to help get rid of that hitting the brick wall feelings, Rachel. 
 Blooie, So excited about ringing the bell! I think that would give me hope to hear someone else ring the bell. 
 Phil -Are you fishing yet?

Yup fishing when I can.....

I think we wired two fans with our first build. Ill have to ask Honey.

I'm sitting in the hospital, bummer. Knew I wasn't doing great the last few days. Had a miserable night and woke up with extreme SOB, chills, nausea. Just a ball of miserable. Hit the ER at just the right time, got worked up and admitted fast. They're not sure what's wrong, going on viral.

The concerning thing is my platelets. They had been stable from 100_120 for months pretty much. Last check was 89, I've been trying not to get freaked out and just wait for my recheck. But today they were 48. That's a pretty big drop. I have a call up to OHSU and they are consulting the local guy for all the good that's going to do.

Honey's back so ill talk to you folks later.

D ammit Rachel
..... Prayers my friend keep us up on what goes down.

Sorry.....

Oh Rachel, not the update I was hoping to read. You have been, and will continue to be, in my prayers. If you or your family need anything while you're up this way please don't hesitate to give me a shout,
