I had to have exchange to bring my blood count up so I’ve good to go pretty much! I believe 7.7 was good enough for me! A person who hasn’t had transfusion since April, but last two times I was hospitalized and got low as 5, couldn’t have transfusion no matter what do to having to many! Oh yea I was disappointed I couldn’t use my port to have the exchange! You all know how much I love and thankful to have it!  Had take a class to prepare me for the outcome on the 14! I’m hoping to get my term done this week and much needed rest. If I’m quiet you all know why! So do bare with me, and hope all is well with each and everyone of you! God Bless

Posted on by poeticjourney

Good Morning, I pray everyone is having a Bless Day. I got the call yesterday that I been waiting for. My labs came back good from last Thursday. I’m so happy and not surprise, because i already know. I love how God works things out for me. I have to stay on the meds for twenty more days before I can actually stop taking, not happy about that, but happy the doses drop. My headaches have got worse since taking the meds. Once I’m off, I can start getting ready and plan for my surgery. Hopefully end of the month are beginning of next month. I do have another doctor appointment tomorrow, with blood doctor. Praying that one goes well as well. I want to hear your blood count is high 7 or 8! Okay maybe not 8, but I can hope right? Well wanted to share that little news with you all. God is good and able all the time. God Bless 🙂

So thankful for all the prayers from each and everyone of you. Many Blessings

Living With Sickle Cell Anemia

Posted on by poeticjourney

thumbnailSCDHello Everyone,  I’m finally home, been home for a few days now, spending time with my love one’s. Getting much rest as possible. I must admit I’m so glad to be home, so can’t wait to be feeling my best. I usually would have this post up already, but still not 100 percent. I’m hoping sometime this week to know if my blood count has went up some more. Before I left it was still in the 5’s and we all know that’s not good. I must be honest with you all. Only Lauren knows whats going on with me. Right now I’m not doing good. I was supposed to have surgery on my birthday to have hip replacement, due to my illness. But that’s when I find out I had warm antibodies in me, because I done had so many transfusions, that’s why I can’t have anymore right now. I have been on the meds for over a month,and there not doing anything for me. I’m getting a lil discouraged, I must admit that to you all. I have been at my lowest last week and wanted to throw in the towel. I don’t know if it’s because I was just tired because of my health, and everything just wasn’t going my way or just cause the devil was just trying to get the bet of me. I believe it was a little of both. I’m not thinking that anymore. I know God isn’t finish with me yet, I’m here for a reason, so I need to continue to hold on and continue to fight to he calls me home to be with him. I’m so touch and feel so much love by all of your comments and prayers, it truly meant so much to me. I got to many visits from family and love one’s and calls from my best friend and TN, y’all thank you for praying for her mom her who had a stroke, she is doing so good. She has been there for me and so has her brother. They  have been keeping me laughing and if I couldn’t sleep staying up with me, and just praying for me. I couldn’t ask for two great group of lovely souls than them two. God knew what he was doing, he knew I couldn’t have that surgery for a reason on 5.21.13, I had to overcome this obstacle last week, and I can’t wait to im fully over it. I can’t wait to I can share more with you all. I need my rest and to stay on top of my studies, you all know how much I hate to be behind on my studies. God is truly good. I want to say thank you again. Thank you for joining my JOURNEY, and been part of my blogging family. I pray all is well with each and every one of you. God Bless. Sending love and hugs to each and every one of you. God Bless 🙂
