The Happenings

  Okay I know, I am two weeks behind on my weekly update, but I am here now!

  Since I last wrote some things have happened.  I had an iron transfusion over at Huntsman Cancer institute and that went really well. I didn't have any bad reactions to it which is awesome!! I go in next week to get my labs done to see if my ferritin levels have gone up. Cross my fingers that they have. It was a very long process to have the transfusion but it was a good time to get some sleep and bond with my mom. They started the iron in my IV and it looked like coffee. I thought it was pretty funny.

  I also went to Zions National Park and hiked the virgin river narrows with some friends. It was the most amazing and majestic hike that i had ever been on. It wore me out and I couldn't move the next day but it was so worth it. If you ever go to Zions National Park I highly recommend doing the Narrows. You wont regret it. I have crossed a few things off my bucket list because of that hike.

   My family and I also did the Fire Ride for the fallen firefighters. It's an amazing ride for a good cause. Once again it kicked my butt for being  on a motorcycle for a few hours but it was worth it. We had a great time and I got to enjoy some quality time with my family!

  I might be gone for a little while again because I leave for Hawaii next week! My best friend ( Big sister) and her husband live there and I am going to go visit them! I am so excited, it's going to be the best week and a half of my life!

THOUGHT OF THE WEEK:
My thought of the week is to ALWAYS be grateful for everything! Not kidding, you need to show the people you love that you reconize what they do for you and that you APPRECIATE it!!!  


SIDE THOUGHT:
October is right around the corner.....Literally. It's in like 4 days. I know that most of you are getting ready for Breast Cancer awareness and Halloween but October is also Dysautonomia Awareness month. I challenge you to tie one on for P.O.T.S.  Go to the link below and get an awareness bracelet and show your support for all of the people in the world who have Dysautonomia! Post your pictures in the comments section! I'd like to do a post about it if I get enough pictures!
