UPS AND DOWN






Well it has been a sad week for my family, my mom lost her brother unexpectedly at age 59...and she was the one who found him at his house after 4 days of no one hearing from him.... So needless to say (sparing all the gory details)  my mom needs prayers, love and support right now....I have been giving her all the love I can...and Sarah is coming in town tonight to keep her occupied and help her as much as we can.... My dad has been so awesome and supportive watching the way he is with her is such an awesome example of unconditional love that God wants us to have for one another...I know she will get through this she just needs to be surrounded by loved ones...
On the second note, I had my table tilt test today and I failed...oh well...I passed out but that I guess is what they wanted me to do so they could see if it is my heart rate or my Blood pressure that drops first and then I could figure out how to avoid it....But leave it to me it was both that drop at the same time. The good news is that this is not life threatening I just have to learn how to avoid triggers and when I feel a fainting episode coming on lay down and put my feet up....I am just thrilled to be done with all the testing and this be the only thing that they could find, they call it neurocardiogenic syncope (kind of fancy but it just means "I am a fainter.")
Time to move on with my life...onward and upward my friends, no more tests and no more IV's for a very very long time... I am thankful for life and I plan to live it to the fullest, everyday! That is why I ate a BIG MAC today, I mean I devoured it..I probably have one once a year and I thought what the heck....I deserve it...yummy
