First off, thanks for all your calls and comments about Lacey, it’s still hard but hopefully will get better each day.
The day started off pretty normal with lots of work and the boys in school. I touched base with Lori more than usual as she had a doctor appointment at 2:45 as she has had a really bad monthly cycle. By the time she made it to the doctor, thankfully, her blood count was so low that they were really scared and rushed her to the hospital for emergency surgery! She called me and told me and I couldn’t believe it! I could tell she was a little freaked out as she said the doctor (who was the one who delivered both boys) was really worried. They had her in the operating room within 30 minutes and 15 minutes later after some sort of D&C (I think that’s what they called it) she was in recovery.
She had lost so much blood her blood was almost peach colored when they pricked her finger. Luckily I forced her to call the doctor Monday for an appointment and bought her iron supplements 3 or 4 days ago. The doctor said that if she had waited even through the night, she would have been coming to the hospital in an ambulance and it could have been touch and go! Unfreakinbelievable! All this, and the day after Lacey. Â Anyhow almost immediately her color came back and she looked much better. The doctor said it’ll be two weeks before her blood count gets built back up to normal. Thankfully she didn’t have to have a transfusion but they had called the blood bank and had it ready just in case. She’ll just be tired for a while and needs to eat lots of protein and take it easy. I’ll need to go buy some steaks for her today. The doctor asked her if she was feeling bad when she arrived and she said “no, just a little tired”. They were shocked to say the least. Also no driving for a few days (thankfully she didn’t pass out at the wheel yesterday) so she’ll be laying low at home. I screwed up a little not making her go to the doctor last week when I thought she should but she kept telling me she was fine. Last time I’ll listen to her! She asked me if I wanted to trade her in on a new model and I said, “no way, first off I couldn’t afford a new model and besides, I’ve got this one (meaning her) all fixed up”.
So, what a close call, thank God for watching over her and us. Thanks to Uncle T and Aunt Ali for taking the boys. They were fine until right before we picked them up on the way home from the hospital. Ty is still really upset about Lacey as is Jag, but he handles it much better. They too knew something was going on with Mom but didn’t know what, which didn’t help.
Oh well, at least now, hopefully, we can have a few normal days and relax. I just had to laugh as we’re swimming in medical bills (I was actually getting calls from doctors offices asking about payments while I was at the hospital, ha ha) and now there just piling on. Oh well, it’s only money.
Take care and God Bless.
