New blog....
I have started a new blog to chronicle my weightloss journey... the link is at the side. I hope you stop by an visit :)
My Friday...
Well I had the scare of my life. I think I have mentioned before that I am allergic to latex. As a general rule I get hives and itchy and my allergy med clears it right up. Well Friday morning I bought a wrist band for a charity jeans week we are having and opened it without even thinking since the one I wear is silicone. There must have either been latex in the band or a latex powder on it for shipping. Well with in 5 minutes I was getting my typical symptoms so I took a pill. With in the hour it was getting bad again and my tongue felt a little itchy so I talked to my supervisor and headed to the closest medi center thiking I needed a shot of benedryl or something.
I had to travel a mere 13 blocks and I grabbed a bus and by the time I was there so less than 5 minutes I was having trouble swallowing. They took me right back and I was starting to have a little trouble breathing and my pulse was up to 122. They gave me a shot of benedryl and it kept things from getting worse but did not settle it down. They ended up having to give me a shot of epinephrine which did the trick. I then got sent to the ER incase I had a rebound reaction and to be monitored for any side effects from the shot.
I did have a slight rebound but another shot of benedryl did the trick. I was also given prednisone and sent home with three days worth to take along with my allergy meds to prevent another rebound. I also have a script for an epi-pen which I will now always have to carry.
I was soooo scared! I'm glad they got it undercontrol. They told me that the allergy med I took very likley could have saved my life because it slowed the anaphalaxis down and with not knowing it was a possiblity by the time I got help it may have been to late.
Today I am fine... slept lots yesterday once I was released. I have to go and get my epi-pen today and ugh its $104 but I think my life is worth it lol

Four Feet in Heaven
Your favorite chair is vacant now...
No eager purrs to greet me.
No softly padded paws to run
Ecstatically to meet me.
No coaxing rubs, no plaintive cry
Will say it's time for feeding.
I've put away your bowl, and all
The things you won't be needing;
But I will miss you little friend,
For I could never measure
The happiness you brought me,
The comfort and the pleasure.
And since God put you here to share
In earthly joy and sorrow;I
'm sure there'll be a place for you
In Heaven's bright tomorrow...

Annual Parent Care Christmas Service...
Once again we joined the members of our miscarriage support group for an evening of reflection. Its such a simple yet special service and it reminds us that we are not alone. It was wonderful to see everyone and to take a little time to think about our three little angels.
Candles lit for all the angels
