Fe (Iron)

Whoopie!!! Yippie!!!! and Gimminie Crickets!!!

I got lab results yesterday and the numbers are amazing.
Last labs my Iron was at 16 and my % Saturation was at 3.
Yesterday my labs showed Iron at 78 and 25.3 % saturation.
That is an awesome increase of 62 points on the iron and just over 22 points on the % saturation.
The iron IVs and 10 iron pills a day are doing their job.

Why is it that when my prayers are answered the way I want them to be, I stand in awe?

I have not felt 'normal' since I had Isaiah which is over two years ago. The past six months have been terrible. I barely had the energy to get out of bed before 10am and maybe wash and dry a load of clothes before I was back in the bed again. I was actually asleep more than I was ever awake but yet always tired and never rested. I thought I was suffering through depression, then I thought I was going crazy. Finally I got answers..and there really was a legitimate medical problem. I am not happy to have the problem but I am happy to know why I was feeling so bad and to know that it can be taken care of.

I am feeling much better in recent weeks. I have been able to do more than I have been in years. I am still week due to the extended time of inactivity but have confidence that will change in time. I am not FREEZING all the time (although I am still cold) and my skin has a good color to it, not pale and sickly.

Thank you to everyone who has taken the time out of their lives to pray for me. I still have a long row to hoe but the ground has been tilled.

I see the kidney doctor on Tuesday and we will discuss what to do about the heart problem. Mitral valve prolapse is a condition associated with PKD. My endometrial ablation is scheduled for Thursday April 16th. I do not feel that this is an elective procedure, in my case if the procedure is not done I will definitely have worse problems on my hands. I am not having it done because I 'want' to but because I 'have' to.

Thank you for you continued prayers and support.
