It's my brother and sister's birthday today! They are 21 today!! Happy Birthday, you guys!!
The past 8 days has been full of adventure. Here is a quick summary of what has taken place.
May 3-5: Marcus and I went to Portland and had fun with our friend, Tad. We got to see his new place, and meet his cool friends there. It was super duper fun.
May 6: My dad, Mark's, birthday. We had a smashing birthday party at the Outback for him. This was also Day One of my new "Re-Feeding Plan Diet." On Day One of this diet, I got to have water and juice with a few crackers, so I watched whie everyone enjoyed their yummy steaks. (argh)
May 7: I can't really remember what happened on this day. Maybe nothing exciting. More juice, water, and crackers. Delish.
May 8: This was the morning of real adventure. Marcus had gotten up early and left for work--his shift begins at 8 am. I got up to go to the bathroom. I remember feeling a little dizzy, so I grabbed onto the doorframe of the bathroom--and then somehow ended up on the bathroom floor shaking, thinking "I should try not to hit my head on the cabinets". I managed to crawl to the phone and called Marcus because I thought he would know what to do, and I was pretty sure that I didn't need an ambulance. Anyway, I went to the doctor later, with the help of Marcus' mom, Carol--and it turns out that I just fainted--no seizures or anything. (good news.)
May 9: I'm on Day 4 of the refeeding diet. I didn't faint today... I got to have some cream of wheat, crackers, some juices, water, and a little applesauce.
May 10: Today, I'm going for some big time baby food. I know... HOLD ME BACK, world. The idea of the diet is to introduce the foods slowly, as to decrease the vomiting. I've only thrown up twice since May 6th, so I think things are going pretty well. Clearly, fainting isn't ideal, but hopefully we have that under control now. :)
Anyway, I guess that's all for now. Sorry for being such a delinquent blogger. I will do my best to do better this next week. :)
Hugs and love to all. And, keep those prayers coming.... I'm trusting that God is in and through each adventure that we have... I know that He is with us... and that this week He kept my head from hitting the ground (and the cabinet) when I fainted. To Him be the glory...
