We have big news! We started on Herbalife today!! Herbalife is a brand of all natural nutritional supplement that is used for more than just losing weight, but we (Jake and I) are using it to lose weight. There is a lot to remember with it, and its going to take some getting used to but overall we are super duper excited to see our results! Everyone we know that is on it has been shedding weight like crazy!!!
We'll keep you updated on how everything goes with it as of course with any other product, it doesn't work overnight. It takes a couple nights haha.
In other news, Sadie has been getting really high fevers. We're talking like 103+ degrees! I ended up taking her to the E.R. for it last month because she had a seizure!! (which when a small child has a fever seizure it doesn't hurt them, its just their bodies "defense mechanism." Or you could say its benign) Talk about scary panic moment!! Anyways, the E.R. doctor told me to alternate between Ibuprofin and Tylenol every 3 hours for 24 hours, but if I didn't do it every 2 the fever would spike between hours 2 and 3.. So we stuck with every 2 hours. So finally when she got these fevers this last Wednesday, (it had spiked to 103.4 in like 30 minutes) I made a doctors appointment when we couldn't get it to go away by Friday. Well, her pediatrician ordered a bunch of labs because he did a physical examination and still couldn't figure out what it was, so we took her to the lab at the hospital and they drew her blood. It seemed like they took so much! And the phlebotomist even said that's a lot of blood to be taking from a 1 year old. So the pediatrician's office finally got the results of the lab tests back on Tuesday and after her doctor was able to review the findings, he called me. The results are in... He thinks she has Mono. Yes as in the kissing disease, but its not as big of a deal as people make it out to be. In fact, 85% of people have had it by the time they are 30. Crazy right? That's what I said.. The crazy part is that the Dr. really isn't sure if it is mono or not. So he is going to do a more specific mono test and if that comes out positive then yes that's what she has. But if not, we are back to trying to figure out what it is. Our poor little girl. Seems like she can't catch a break!!
This was right as we were leaving the hospital. She kept pointing to the bandaid and crying. :(
So that's all I have for now, check back later cuz I'm sure we'll have more!
Loves, Marissa
