Liz,

I wish there was something I could do to make you feel better. You hang in

there, I know it's a lot to go through and I will keep you in my prayers.

oh Liz,

I am so sorry. I will say prayers for you, hang in there honey, it will get

better. FIGHT!! MUCH LOVE AND HUGS!! Viola

Sorry guys, it's just me again. I am so depressed at this point. I was

quite sick after Tori was born in 2000. I had an emergency D & C when she was 7

weeks old because I had a second placenta, then 2 months later I had to have

my gall bladder out. All this time I was running a fever and had high white

counts. I was on every antibiotic in the world and even had biopsies, bone

marrow, a PET scan and thousands of blood tests. Needless to say, in 2004 I

found out I had a blocked kidney and that what was making me sick. I had

surgery in the day before Thanksgiving in 2004, it was fixed and I actually did

well for all of 2005. Well, guess what! I had a sinus infection a few weeks

back with a temp, took my antibiotics, and low and behold I still had a temp.

I felt kinda weird, and called my urologist and we did a urine test which

showed white & red blood cells in it. Well, I am back on heavy duty

antibiotics again and today I just had a renal U/S and the kidney is not

emptying

again. Geez, does it ever end? I have to go to the Dr. on Tuesday to see what

we do next. He did tell me that if it is blocked for 6 weeks or longer, it

will die. I am ready to flip!

Liz sorry to hear of your health issues, but you will be remembered in

my prayers and be in my thoughts. Hope Tuesday appt. brings better

news.

Liz, I'm really sorry you're sick. I will have you in my prayers, too. do they

know what blocked it the first time? Are you a big tea drinker? My brother had

several kidney stones, he drank 3-5 cups a day. Iced tea counts too. If they

fixed it the first time, I'm sure they'll be able to do it again. At least you

know this time early what's bothering you. Keep thinking positive, let us know

what happens.

Thanks to everyone for their support. I apologize once again for venting

...... but YOU GUYS are great.

Well, I have to now have an IVP (have dye injected into

bladder/ureter/kidney to see what is blocking my kidney-whether it be a

stone or scar tissue from the first operation. I am glad I've caught this

early..because it is now starting to get achy. The last time, I was in the

ER 4 times and on morphine (which I must say most of the time is a wonderful

drug-but didn't work with this thing!)

Oh, just thought I would keep you posted on the drama here.

Oh, I bought a Turtle sandbox for Tori today and put rice and beans in it

and she loves it. I also bought one of those " fake grass " door mats and she

loves rubbing it all over herself! Maybe we can redirect some of her

aggression to that...I am hoping.

Hi Liz,

Thanks for the health update. Continue to keep us posted as we are concerned.

One day at a time. Hope today is a better one.

Hey, Jayne...no problem. I think the 2nd placenta was either left from a

miscarriage I believe I had 6 months prior to conceiving Tori, or the

possibility that she had a twin that didn't survive. The doctor said you

sometimes develop a secondary one, but I have serious doubts about that.

Hmmm, interesting. I haven't ever heard of developing a second one either, but

then again, I'm no MD.

I hope things go well for you with the kidney test.

Hang in there,

Jayne
