January 10, 2010, 5:30am the alarm rings for me to get up for work and get my children up for school, however this morning is alittle different, there's pain in my stomach that's alittle different than normal, but I push on and continue to put my clothes on and make sure my kids are getting dressed. Now my daughter 17 and my son 11 at the time, very active in school and sports and I was active duty Navy, so we all having to be out of the house by 7am and back by 4pm and out by 6pm for practice then getting home for the evenings after 9pm, we have a very busy schedule. But as I stated Jan 10, 2010, my body wasn't allowing me to do all that I just mention I did on Jan 9. What I thought was a simple stomach ache turned into a nightmare. I was first diagnosed with IBS, then I was just turned away as if nothing was wrong with me, as if it was all in my head, then May 2 I was placed back into the hospital this time I was in ICU, body full of rashes hair falling out, seizure like headaches, high fevers, and body totally shutting down. I was in and out the hospital 3 times in the month of May. Back and forth to different doctors and specialist, until September 28, 2010 I received a diagnosis of Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE). I felt my life was over and was handed a death sentence. Living with Lupus life has dealt me some serious blows, creates challenges that makes it hard to get out of bed days or even bathe myself. My children, I was so careful in taking care of, now are caring for Me. Since my diagnosis I have been further diagnosed with T-Cell Large Grangular Lymphatic Leukemia, and Chron's but it's by the Grace of God that I'm Still Standing!! I Thank EVERYONE that has supported me and stood by my side, I Love You for Loving This BEAUTIFLY.
