Quick Sunday Update

Quick Sunday Update for y’all who have been asking:
I’ve been feeling pretty sick over the past two weeks, with various returning symptoms. We have been hitting Vinny hard with Blood Ozone Therapy and I’ve had multiple Vitamin C Infusions to help boost my little immune system so She can start throwing some punches of her own!! ❗️



Unfortunately due to some clotting issues and required blood thinners, I have lost a significant amount of blood and blood tests show that I’m now severely Anemic. Our main goal this week is to get my Red Blood Cell count up to avoid needing an Emergency Blood Transfusion. ⚠️
With this, of course, I’ve been very weak, light headed, and have been battling severe headaches and nausea. I did, however, get to say goodbye to my friend Mr. PICC line this weekend and therefore can stop my Blood Thinner meds...Small Mercies! (You’re welcome for the yummy video below!)


In order to avoid the Blood Transfusion, I will need to increase my Iron intake...but getting the necessary nutrients into my body is proving difficult. I have now lost 12 lbs in under 2 weeks and have been unable to keep any kind of nutritional help down without extreme pain, even while drinking water. Lately, I’ve been lucky if I can eat one PBJ in 24 hours... but hey, who doesn’t love a good PBJ?! Can’t complain!! ๐ŸŒŸ


Looking forward: I’m blessed to be able to travel to Arizona for a long Christmas get-away and was able to get into my neurologist at the Mayo Clinic!! I am now showing significant symptoms that point to having an Autonomic Nerve Disorder, which is generally a post-infectious disease.

The GOOD NEWS and EMPHASIS is that it’s usually a POST infectious disorder and therefore we’re optimistic that Vinny is on his way out the door.... He’s just left some of his belongings behind!

Here’s to another week of battling, another week of fighting the good fight and trying my hardest to keep seeing the SUNSHINE through the SNOW STORM.... literally AND figuratively!! ๐ŸŒ„⛅
