My quick update.:Things went just about as good as they could have on Monday. Mom and I got there around 11:45. My transfusion was scheduled for 12. There was one other person there. They have a total of 4 seats so I had my pick of where I wanted to sit. I picked a quiet corner so if I had an emotional breakdown it wouldn’t be so obvious! They got my IV in no problem and took some blood. Then I started feeling light headed and ended up passing out. I was out for a while and it took me a long time to feel semi-normal again. They pumped me with IV fluids and started my meds about a half hour later. I relaxed and watched TLC and took a short nap. I was very sleepy Monday and ended up with a pretty long lasting headache(like over 48hours!) but that is a very normal side effect of the med. Yesterday I was feeling “in a fog” but today my headache finally went away and I am feeling good.
Thank you so much for all the prayers and support! Next Infusion is in 2 weeks! Keep the prayers coming that all would continue to go well. God is totally taking care of me and for that I am forever grateful!
