For those of you that knew that I was going for testing, well here are the results. I have damage to my right kidney... they are ruling out LUPUS. This is what I found out about it on AOL ...Lupus is an autoimmune disease that can affect various parts of the body, including the skin, joints, heart, lungs, blood, kidneys and brain. Normally the body's immune system makes proteins called antibodies, to protect the body against viruses, bacteria, and other foreign materials. These foreign materials are called antigens.
In an autoimmune disorder like lupus, the immune system cannot tell the difference between foreign substances and its own cells and tissues. The immune system then makes antibodies directed against itself. These antibodies -- called "auto-antibodies" (auto means 'self') -- cause inflammation, pain and damage in various parts of the body.
I have more testing that I am going through so please pray for me. Also my blood pressure is wacky.
The children do not know, I do not want them to worry. Anthony leaves in 7 days for Basic Training. Peter did well in school today. Stephie as well. The twins were working hard in their math books today. Mema was here today, she came yesterday. We will keep her until Friday (against her will of course!!!)
Have a great night.. God Bless |
