Susan in TN Posted May 3, 2018 Share Posted May 3, 2018 I spent the morning helping decorate the venue for the high school formal and then came home, ate lunch, and made a corsage (on a wristlet) for dd15. It's going to be a gorgeous dinner. I think they are having someone come and teach them line dancing. I really need dd19 to be here to do dd15's hair, but I will have to forge ahead without her. Right now she looks like a character out of Dr. Seuss with little buns twisted and tied with strips of fabric all over her head. 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Susan in TN Posted May 3, 2018 Share Posted May 3, 2018 Dh left work a couple minutes early so he could take dd15 to the formal dinner thing. Dd's hair turned out OK - a decent messy/curly look. She wanted some daisies in her hair so I managed to get a couple in her hair clip. I like the fact that the event is only for tutorial students and no one is allowed to bring a date, so it's really just a bunch of kids who get to have a fun night without any awkwardness. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Junie Posted May 4, 2018 Share Posted May 4, 2018 When I got to the hospital they said that I would have to wait a few hours because they didn't have a bed. Then they decided to check other units in the hospital to see if I could get a transfusion in another part of the hospital. I ended up in pediatrics. This was actually wonderful for me because a friend of mine is a nurse in pediatrics and she was on the floor when I got there. She was very reassuring. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Junie Posted May 4, 2018 Share Posted May 4, 2018 Also: Prairie, thank you so much for the heads-up last night that they might do a transfusion. It was so much less scary to hear the words since I knew they might be coming. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Susan in TN Posted May 4, 2018 Share Posted May 4, 2018 Good morning! May the Fourth Be With You! Junie, glad your blood has been updated. Hope you start feeling better by this afternoon! Dh generally has too much iron. So he donates blood to the Red Cross regularly and always feels better afterwards. Yay for coming home from college! Slache, I suspect that dairy is a likely candidate for making you feel crummy. I don't make bread, either. This afternoon dh will drive to dd19's university to pick her up for the weekend, and I will drive to ds22's university with the van to help him move out of his apartment. Tonight we will all go out for a special graduation dinner at ds22's favorite restaurant. Coffee! 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You will need to sort out whether it is a dairy protein issue or a lactose issue. For my girls, it is just lactose. They are good with cheese and lactose free milk. The half life of dairy protein is about 17 days....so give it some time to clear out before you reintroduce again. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JoJosMom Posted May 4, 2018 Share Posted May 4, 2018 Junie: Can you eat clams? Clams in tomato sauce cooked in a cast iron pot is a great source of heme iron (think linguine with clam sauce or Manhattan Clam Chowder. ) My hemoglobin dropped to the high 4s once, and I learned to love the red clam chowder. My doctor had mercy on me and didn't make me get a transfusion, but he was not amused. (This was post-childbirth drama and I was at peak medical PTSD, especially wrt needles.
