BLOGGER TEMPLATES AND TWITTER BACKGROUNDS

Sorry it took me so long to update everyone on the status of my health.
I'll try to sum it up and give you the short story. I'm out of the hospital and with my family. Two days after I gave birth to Justice I started having really bad upper right stomach pains and was extremely yellow. It got so bad Lewis took me into the hospital and found out my liver was shutting down. My liver functions were at 2,000 (normal is 40).

From there they took me to U of U hospital to see a specialist. We were there for 2 days and then they transported me Intermountain Health Care for a liver transplant. We were so scared. Lewis was so sweet and drove down every night to sleep by my side. I thought it was so romantic. I truly believe that couples are given hard times to show and prove their love for one another. My family was able to help out and watch the kids. I shed a lot of tears because I was unable to see my new little baby and of course Libby. The doctors were able to pump me full of medications and save my liver. It is slowly getting better. My liver functions are 400 now.

My mother also came and had lunch and dinner with me everyday. Dad and Marilyn were able to take care of Justice for us. Becky, Heather, and Aimee took care of Libby. Judy and Dinese also took turns watching Justice. Mike was also able to come visit me. Thank you Lewis and Dad for your sweet blessings. My friends also called everyday to send their love. I truly come from an amazing family who loves and cares about my well being- Thank you so much. I can't thank my family and friends enough for being there for me and my family.

If you want more details let me know.
