The joys of engineering
My level 74 Blood DK named Naughtybaby is my one and only engineer out of all my numerous toons. I have been working on getting her, her epic flying machine and hopefully moving on to get her the chopper. I about died laughing when I went to get her the hula girl needed for the epic flying machine, this silly little doll cost 100 gold. So I took a deep breath and bought the expensive little lady and went about mining for the other items needed. Here is a picture of her in her slow flying machine as she flies around Nagrand searching for the ore she needs. The other was of her kneeling down on one of the pieces of the earth left floating in the sky.

Finding new relatives
Two weeks ago I found a gentleman on myspace that lived in the same town as my mother's family. He also happen to have the last name as my mother's youngest sister. So I got brave and contacted him through email. As it turned out my aunt was also his aunt by marriage and he was able through emails to put me in the right direction of finding my mother's little sister. He had managed to get me a few old phone numbers. Sadly most of them did not work or were no longer in services. But the last one I tried turned out to be my Aunt's oldest daughter Leila. I left a message stating who I was and how I needed to get hold of her mom. Last Saturday morning Leila returned my call, and we talked and remember things of when I was last there as a young child. She then told me that she and her mom lived in Virginia Beach, I was like omg I met Lou there and got married there and lived right down the road from them in Norfolk. She gave me My aunt's cell number and I with shaking hands called her. Sadly she could only talk a few minutes because she was about to go into a meeting and she asked could she call me back that night. When she called me back we talked for nearly two and half hours. She was able to tell me more about my natural father and give me some clues how to possibly find him. We laughed a lot together remembering my mother, learning things about my mom's family. It was so wonderful talking to her because it brought back a memory of being safe and protected with her. I told her this and she told me she always felt like she needed to protect me and shelter me from any pain tossed at me which made me for the first time in a long time like my family actually did love me and I was not some toss away. When we hung up we promised to keep in touch and not to disappear from one another again. I finally after all these years feel like I belong, that I am part of a family.
Now the search begins for my father. I do not know where this will lead too or if I will ever find him but just to know something about my past is now becoming exciting and I owe that to Joanne, my aunt. This will help open doors to possibly find out the health history of my family something I did not know. It will help with the treatment of my kidneys and lupus and maybe just maybe I will meet the man that is my father and the 3 or 4 possible sisters I have out there somewhere. Suddenly it does not seem so scary anymore. My aunt gave me the courage with along with my family and friends to look for my dad and now maybe it just might happen.

I should be in bed
Another Mother's Day
It was another mother's day spent alone. Funny you want to have kids, you bring them into the world, you hope to teach them right from wrong, the grow up stepping on your feet and leave home stepping on your heart. Then mother day rolls around and they are off doing their thing. Ungrateful little brats.

Another stumbling block
Pictures of Sierra and more
Today I got some pictures of Miss Sierra while she was in the hospital for her brain surgeries and also a picture of her holding her new adorable Boston Terrier which was a wonderful gift. The first picture is of her and her new puppy. The other three are of her stay at Cook's Children Hospital in Texas during her brain surgeries. The one where she is smiling and looking a little loopy is because she is. The others are after the surgeries and the machines she was connected too. Do you not just love her new white hat, thank goodness they did not completely shave her head or we would still be hearing about it.

Long day
Emotional few days
It has been a emotional couple of days. Up and down with Sierra's hospital stay. I have to give Shae a lot of credit, how she is staying so strong during this is amazing. I am sure if you are following Sierra's blog you know what kind of roller coaster it has been for all of us but mainly Shae because she is dealing with this alone in Texas. Yes she has our support and all the well wishes still she is the one that is alone there with Sierra. She has no one close to actually hug and have a shoulder to cry on. But even alone she is doing an amazing job. I just want everyone to know I am so proud of her, for being strong for her daughter, to be her daughter's voice and not take any BS from anyone including the staff of the hospital.

More sad news
Cooke's Children hospital
Sierra entered the hospital yesterday and on Monday morning at 7:30 she will go in for the first surgery scheduled. This is the one to put the grids in. Shae has set up a blog for Sierra and how she is doing. Here is the link: http://www.caringbridge.org/visit/sierragodwin. You are welcomed to post on that site and let Sierra and Shae know you are there. Here is Sierra's new pretty hair cut she got to make her hair shorter and easier to manage for the surgeries.

No infusion
Well yesterday was suppose to be my day of my long await infusion. Notice the key words SUPPOSE TO BE........ yes you are correct it did not take place. It is another waiting game. Now the reason for this is because my numbers were shakey at best but not in the range for me to receive my infusion so once again it is a waiting game. I spent the day yesterday in tears, it was very emotional for me, my emotions were already on a roller coaster because of whether my kidneys were behaving, the pain I have been in due to unstable weather and Sierra facing once again more brain surgeries and me not being able to be with her. So I ended up being a flood of raw emotions yesterday. Anything I said or did would tail spin me, anything said to me would tail spin me. But I did sleep last night and got the much needed rest that is being harped at me about. The sleeping medicine worked, granted I am not overly thrilled with taking yet another medication but I will do whatever it takes to get my infusions and hopefully get my lupus into a remission.

Doctor's visit
Well I got my blood work done and now we wait. Anyone ever said waiting wasn't hell lied to you. We have decided to have the low dose chemo whether my kidneys are acting up or not, at this time this experimental drug is kinda the end of the road unless some smart young doctor out there figures something out real quick. There is a lot of mix feelings about this drug, it still is not completely approved by the FDA for lupus usage yet. It is known as unlabeled for lupus, thank god for small bills that are passed. The wonderful people of the United States government passed a bill saying insurance companies has to cover unlabeled drugs for lupus usage. So now come April 7th I get to be hooked for 5 hours this drug and hopefully this time it works. And in the mean time I was put on yet another drug, seems I am not getting enough rest or sleep, with no immune system I am required more rest and sleep then the rest of the world so my wonderful doctor put me on a new drug to help me do this. Now if we can find a way to lower my stress level maybe there would be less flare ups. One could only hope.

Dealing with real life, not a WOW moment
Yesterday my daughter called and gave me one of those phone calls a grandparent does not look forward too. It seems on April 10th my daughter and her little Sierra are heading to Cooke's Children Hospital once again. Sierra will be admitting into the hospital on the 10th and on the 13th she will once again go through brain surgery, grids will be places and test ran, on the 17th of April they will go back in remove the grid and remove another piece of her brain that they call ground beef that they once again feel her seizures are starting. This will be very hard on me, since once again my health is not allowing me to travel and be with them. It kills me knowing that once again Shae is having to deal with this alone in a place several hours from family and friends. I called my Doctor today and asked could I go and he said it was not safe for me to be around a children's hospital with no immune system and that on the 7th of April I will undergo 5 hours of my low dose chemo and than again 2 weeks from that date for another 4 hours. During this time I am hoping all my family and friends are praying that once again Sierra will bounce through these surgeries. I will try to keep everyone updated on this and how Sierra is doing. The adorable little red head is Sierra taken a few months ago.

Crappy day again
I am so ready for this rituxan to start again but now my doctor's partner is sticking his nose in and I have to have blood work and test done before starting it since no blood work has been done in 3 months. So now I have to get an appointment for the blood work and wait on the results before I can even sit up the appointment for the infusion. I want to scream, I am so sick of being locked in this damn house and not being allowed out. Anyways I have vented now I am going to head to bed before Lou wakes up and realize I have been up all night and have him tattle on me to Dr Niemer. He loves to tattle.

Got to Love Methotrexate
My weekly shot of Metho took a toll on me the last couple of days, so I was lagging in posting. Sad thing is tomorrow I get another one. But this is a must take in order to get my rituxan infusion. Which is finally approved and I am starting it again. I feel like I have been waiting forever to get this started again. I am also a little scared because the last time I got sick directly after the second infusion and it took a toll on my kidneys again. I know the goal is for me to not get sick and this time the infusion be a cake walk. So I am hoping all this not around people and stay healthy program I am on works and we have the two infusions and go from there. If it works this can easily put me in remission and I go to two infusion every six months, than hopefully two infusions once a year but it all stems on me not getting sick between now and infusion day. Also to prepare myself for the infusion and the nasty side effects, not to mention the sitting for 8 hours for the infusion, but in the long run it is all very worth it to me. So tomorrow I get my weekly shot and I rest between now and April 7th as much as possible. For those that do not know rituxan is a low dose form of chemo, to go in and destroy the bad cells and tissues that are attacking what healthy ones my body is making and right now my kidneys are not making a whole lot of new red blood cells. It is will go in and kill these cells giving my body a chance to make new ones and knock my autoimmune system into trying to work probably, yes it means killing off my immune system but it is the last resort for me, the other medicines for my lupus is no longer working and the lupus is taking its toll on my kidneys and tissues. So silly as it seems killing off my immune system is the only way to beat this damn disease and give my kidneys a chance to heal a little.

Finally in a Fun Guild
I finally put my little toons in a fun guild today. I left the Golden Elms and all it's drama behind me. I went to a friends guild who had also been in the elms and decided she did not like the drama there as well. So I am now in a real cool guild, they actually play to have fun, no one cares about DPS, no one cares about gear, they all just like playing and having fun. I am hoping a few of my friends and family will come with me but if they don't that is cool also because they can still run with us.

Got A wonderful surprised today
I got a wonderful surprise today. I got a email from a dear sweet friend I have not talked to in a long time. My little Sierra loves her dearly even calls her Jewels because Julie is a very rare jewel. When Sierra was going through all her brain surgeries when she was barely 2 years old Julie gave up everything to come be with her. She knew money would be tough for us because we were taking time off to be with Sierra in the hospital so the Pizza Hut she worked for allowed her to get donations for us, I truly have no idea what I would not have done. So I am so happy I got a email from her and natural I sent her one back catching up with her about what we have missed.
