Guest guest Posted September 2, 2008 Report Share Posted September 2, 2008 I saw my doc today & he told me if Hannah does what it looks like it will (right over my house) just to go ahead to the hospital the morning before it hit. That is lovely isn't it, but I think it was the same type of advice. They will go ahead and start the super high steroids and one hour treatments before the reactions. Maybe that way I won't spend another 10 days in lock up. Then Ike (my husband is pulling out every old corny Ike joke he can find) & one more right behind it. I really think that at this point I should be getting free nights and spa treatments! LOL Keep me in your prayers & I will keep you updated as events get closer.

Guest guest Posted September 3, 2008 Report Share Posted September 3, 2008 Hi Madeline, I hope you are feeling well today. It is fantastic how you keep a sense of humor with all you must be going through!

Guest guest Posted September 3, 2008 Report Share Posted September 3, 2008 Thank you Alana. It helps that I am naturally an optimist, but I work very hard to keep my spirits high. I am constantly reminding myself of all the good things and blessings in my life. I am also constantly finding things to laugh at. It also help that no one in my family has any common sense. We could make a successful sit com of our daily lives! I also have a stress pillow that I will scream into and even beat up if I need to when I feel too agressive from the steroids. Although, I have recently re-found the joys of making bread by hand. Punching the dough is very very good for aggression. Speaking of punching. I have to go get ready for the doctor. Everyone in FL keep safe as Hannah is projected to come through tomorrow and Friday.

Guest guest Posted September 3, 2008 Report Share Posted September 3, 2008 I love your sense of humor, Madeline. You make me laugh. Just remember, Laughter is the Best Medicine. Unless is sparks off an asthma attack, of course. Cheryl Burton ncicheryl@... Re: Almost forgot Thank you Alana. It helps that I am naturally an optimist, but I workvery hard to keep my spirits high.
