Bad news

     I am 30 weeks pregnant and my doctor obgyn calls regarding my blood work. She said to me that the results are in my glucose test came back negative but my hemoglobin blood count has dropped from 10.7 to 8.7 and they want me to be at least at an 11. The story of my life. Now I am consider anemic and have to do another blood work test on my iron levels.  Dejavú all over again but this time is different.
     I did another blood work exam and consulted with dr.k about what was going on with my blood work results. Now I am back to see him once a week and changing the strategy to treating my blood. My body is going under a lot of stress and changes but as long as I don’t continue to drop I will be fine.
     Yesterday my obgyn called  to informed me that my iron levels are good and that I needed to see a hemoglobin doctor for further testing. I asked if my iron levels are good and normal would that still make me anemic ? She wasn’t too sure what category it would be.
     I related the I formation back to dr.k and he said that is good to hear that my iron levels are normal. I am a special type of anemic that is called autoimmune anemic. My blood is producing more white blood cells which he calls the soldiers than the red blood cells which are the farmers. If you have a village full of soldiers with not enough farmers to work the land for food then the village starves. Weird way of putting it but it makes sense . So his job is to get my blood to start making more farmers to work the land.
     Since I was 5 months pregnant I no longer could lay on my stomach so treatments have been change to fit what I was able to do but since then I have felt different like it wasn’t ass affective. Last week we changed it up and it got me feeling back like I use to feel which was drained and tired, now that I know that my body is receiving it.
     Over all I am bigger and full of mass than what I was with Alejandra which means my body is receiving the nutrients it needs now it’s just a matter of  producing the farmers. I have God on my side and nothing can give me more strength than relying on him. I can and I will beat it till I’m completely healed because I have giants on my team.

Thank you for being part of my Journey, God Bless. Yvette Norris
