I know it's been way to long.. and I know it... Most of you have heard about the ADVENTURE I will call it that unfolded during hurricane Katrina.. (Story is on my profile and I do have a few pictures of what is left if anyone cares to see) Still trying to recover from it Emotionally.. Just filling eveyone in... ON saturday night I spent 13 hours in the ER.. I started having a horrible headache, then I was having realllyy bad chest pains to the point where I couldnt catch my breath, then I felt nautious so went to the bathroom and passed out.. next thing I know my brother was trying to wake me up witha cold rag and I had broke out in a cold sweat so he and my father rushed me to the ER. THey ran all kinds of tests and had to end up sticking me 8 times becasue I was dehydrated.. so they pumped me full of 4 bags of fluid found out I had an irregular heart beat my iron was wayyyyy low, and my blood pressure was 70/30 lovely huh?? well they were awesome in there and took wonderful care of me and I felt much better after I got all of the fluids so they said I was way over stressed (SURPRISE SURPRISE) and dehydrated.. I want to thank everyone for all fo the prayers and well wishes.. IT has helped a great deal.. I haven't had much of a chance to get online this is my brothers computer and they have a teenage daughter need I say more, lol.. WEll I finally got a call from fema today saying they are reviewing my case.. EYEROLL 3 weeks later.. ANYWAY.. Trying to get my life back on track for my kids and my parents.. but its very hard.. I mean where do you start when everything you had is gone yanno.. The twins are doing good having nightmares and terrifyied of storms but besides that theya re doing good I have them back in school one of the first things I did, and they are getting counseling every wensday.. They havent once asked for anything knowing they lost everything as well they havent asked for anything whatsoever.. and they had a birthday 10 days after the hurricane hit.. I have been blessed with aweomse kids.. WE also found out that there is a program here that will cover tylers medical expenses 100% Not sure if everyone knows but we recently found out that tyler has lost 40 percent of his hearing and is going to need a 16 hour spinal surgery body cast for a year or maybe more... and this is all going to take place within the next 6 months maybe sooner.. so yes A lot going on here and I think I am going to have an emotional breakdown before its over but hey, lol Its CHARACTER building as Tyler says, lol.. Otyher than that medical stuff with tyler the twins are doing great... Still scared of storms and are still battling the nightmares but theya re seeing a therapist every wensday to help talk about there expereince.. Tyler has started writing a book that he wants to get published so other kids can knwo whats its like to live through a hurricane They have been wonderful they havent asked for anything and they even had a birthday 10 days after the storm... They have been wonderful...
Ok Good news time....in the midst of all this bad stuff.. Tri Care got off of there hiney adn reffered me to anotehr Plastic surgeon supposedly there is this thing called Blanket something or other and if you were affected by Katrina you can see any doctor as long as they take tricare prime without authorization or soemthing anyway.. I got a call and I have an appointment on Tuesday to see a plastic surgeon in Pensacola.. I am rather nervous but excited as well... IN total since april 20th of last year I have lost a total of 231 pounds.. SO cant wait to get all the excess stuff off.. I am back to starting forrest fires with my thighs again, lol
Any way sorry for blabbering to much I think I could talk forever if no one would stop me... I am not sure when I will be able to get back on here to check my amil or anything so if I do not respond right away you know why I still love ya, lol
I want to thank every one from the bottom of my heart for there prayers... and well wishes.. They mean the absolute world to me.. I have some absolute angels on my side and they know who theya re.. COuldnt make it without them.. THink I would have had about 8 breakdowns if it were not for them...
HUGS AND ALL THAT GOOD STUFFFFFF
