Hospital Days

So I made it to the hospital.... I was really hoping NOT to end up here but I just don't seem to be getting what I want these days! However, it is a blessing to live in a place where we can go the ER and be treated with some of the best care in the world! As I said in my last post, I ended up with a severe flare when I got home from Slovakia. I don't think SK had much to do with it since I had some changes before I left. It just didn't get out of wack until I got over the ocean. I got severely dehydrated Sunday night and went to the ER. They asked me to pee and I couldn't. I quickly got 2 bags of fluid, potassium, morphine, and much more! I had no idea dehydration could hurt so bad! I am on IV steroids and I am hoping to switch back to oral steroids tomorrow and go home. The fat face should be making an appearance soon! There is still hope to get my UC under control. The next meds are a little different but are effective for most people. They are actually the same meds my dad takes to keep his body from rejecting his new (now ten years old!) liver. Keep praying that God will be glorified and for the doctors to have wisdom! I have had some awesome docs here in Charlotte! Thanks!
