The Yellow Eye

Last week I was admitted to the ER in Eagle Pass early Tuesday morning. I was extremely nauseous and jaundiced (which Tex "affectionately" dubbed "the yellow eye"). After several blood tests, an ultrasound on my liver and gallbladder and a CAT scan I was transported to San Antonio to see a Gastro-Intestinal Doctor and Blood Specialists. After two more nights in the hospital I was released on Thursday afternoon. The doctors diagnosed me with hemolytic anemia. Pretty much my red blood cells were bursting but they didn't know why. They suspect it was a virus that they couldn't detect and eventually ran it's course and went away. I know that I had many friends and family praying for me and believe God answered those prayers. I'm so grateful for such caring people in my life. I feel better than before I was sick and Tex and I are so glad to be out of the hospital and back home.
