Overwhelming day

It's been a long, overwhelming day. We left for Springfield around 7:30 this morning and haven't been home long (it's 10pm)

Sav went to the derm to have planters warts removed and I saw the derm for my chronic skin stuff and other symptoms (since July 05) Sav did great and has a followup in a mth. I found out I have some sort of auto-immune thing where apparently my body is producing too much progesterone AND my body is 'allergic' to it. He said that's the best way to describe it. My only options are to treat the symptoms by receiving strong antihistamine & steroid shots (which I don't want to do unless necessary) OR have my ovaries removed or go on the strongest birth control pill (can't do because of breastfeeding). So, at this point, it's try to put up with the skin stuff and the migraines unless they get worse and then we pursue other options.

We got a call shortly after arriving home from Olivia's dr. The holter heart monitor did pick up more arrhythmias, but they thought it was a good sign that she didn't pass out again. So for now, we're just to keep an eye on her- she can go to school, but no gym or recess and someone is to be with her at all times. She sees the ped cardio at Childrens Hospital in St Louis on Feb 13th.

I need to go to bed.......
