My ACT score!!!!!!

OH MY GOODNESS OH MY GOODNESS!!!! :D I got my ACT scores in the mail today and I needed a minimum composite score of 25 to get early admission into the nursing school I'm going to. And LOOK!!!!! :D I GOT IT!!!! I sooooo did not want to take it again! I'm so overwhelmed with happy emotions right now!!

IV vitamins

Today I had my first "trial run" on IV vitamins. We went to the office where I got diagnosed, and got IV vitamins over a hour through my picc line. In the bag was vitamin c, magnesium, the vitamin b's and I don't know what else. We are hoping this will help with my energy and just overall how I'm feeling! We shall see! If things go well, I might go in about once a week. Please be praying this helps me! I've been having a horrible time with feeling weak and fatigued lately! 

Recovery/Treatment

Recovery is tough, but I am tougher! 

Fun day...

So this morning on my way to nursing camp, I got a horrible stab on pain in my upper left chest and it wouldn't go away. My mom didn't want to leave me at camp like that, so went to the hospital ER "quick". This turned into a over 6 hour thing. I got many many blood tests (didn't have to get poked cuz of my picc line!!) and I also got a CAT scan with dye to see if I had any blood clots (I didn't). It literally felt like I was peeing my pants when they put the dye in!!! :o they tried morphine  and tordol to try to help with the pain but it was only temporary. At the end, the just decided it was inflammation from Lyme. Here are some pics from my awesome experience! ;)

Today has been an interesting day.. It all starting last night/early afternoon. Horrible leg pain... Well basically horrible pain anywhere but my back. And my stomach? Well that wasn't going so well, all yucky and nauseous... And well when you feel this horrible, your emotional state isn't very well either. Now today I've been up and down (the up isn't very high but the down is definitely very down!) but I actually managed to get out of the house to go eat with my mom, sister, and brother. While my sister and I were waiting for them to get the food, I decided to entertain her with some photo action! ;) 

Sorry for the abundance of pictures! But it was a long wait! :P
