Illness update the problem and solution

I'm soooo lucky to have the best readers in the world. Thanks again for the prayers and thoughts. It worked just in time.
At my doc. appt. Friday morning they took some blood and tested it and to my surprise it was in the danger zone, very very low. I went straight to the hospital so they could start a blood transfusion. All those systoms during the week was my body telling me something was wrong but I didn't get it, NOW I DO!! By friday morning I couldn't walk up the stairs, shower, walk to the car without being wiped out, never felt this tired in my life. My mom stayed with me all day and helped get me settled in and take care of the kids. Lucky to have my oldest home this week to be with me also. After a whole day and night of transfusions they released me today, I have color in my face, the ringing in my head is gone and I have some energy. Will be taking it easy still though, no overdoing it.
Next week I will go in for a ultrasound and talk about my options so that this doesn't happen again. Will prob. try to do something soon before kids are home on vacation, I can rest during the day while they at school.
Please learn from my lesson and all of you take care of yourselves, listen to your bodies, see your doctor for exams and do what you need to be healthy, I never want to go thru this scare again and don't want that for any of you either. I wish we all lived closer also, we could sit and craft or just put our feet up and drink some lemonade, thank you for all the love and prayers that helped me get thru this safely and quickly. I will be on the couch again this week but feel my spirit with you and I will try to read blogs next week.
LOVE AND HUGS AND A THANKFUL HEART!!
Dawn
p.s.  I didn't want to get into the gory details too much but this is from a bad period over the last two weeks. This was hard enough to write already, just want you to be aware for yourselves.
