Eat more Bananas

Breanne had her blood test done Wednesday afternoon. It was quite the ordeal for her. I thought for sure she was going to pass out. After they stuck her and filled up 5 tubes of blood Breanne turned ghostly white and began to sink in the chair! She drank some water and wobbled for a bit but then after about 5 min was better. Blood was sent out STAT so we would have the results first thing in the morning.

Thursday morning I am sick as crap but the blood test results for Breanne are good. Her heart enzymes are all normal and so is her thyroid. She is very low in Potassium and this can cause fatique and heart palpitations so that my be contributing to her anxiety. Docs prescribes potassium and wants her to also eat a diet rich in potassium. This means lots of bananas, oranges, potatoes and rich green veggies. So in all good news!

Yummy...nanners. Glad to hear all is well with her, and that she didn't pass out from the blood draw. Sorry to hear youre not feeling well though. I hope you got to enjoy some of the nice weather before you got sick (it was sunny here yesterday and suppose to be in the 80's today).
