March Update

Hello out there - if there's anyone that still reads this :)

Life has been crazy busy and we've been dealing with some health issues. I've been suffering from increased fatigue so they sent me for blood tests and confirmed I am B12 deficient, which affects my iron levels, hemoglobin, all kinds of stuff. So I'm back on B12 shots. Right now, once per week until further notice and then hopefully they'll be able to wean me to once every 3 weeks. I received my first shot this Wednesday and it seems today I'm feeling some improvement, despite lack of sleep this week due to Meagan.

Meagan has been in and out of hospital for a few things in the last few months. Last night we were back in the ER again (after being sent directly from the doctor's office yet again) and he highly suspects asthma. She is on 2 inhalers and an antibiotic to try to clear out her lungs, and he warned the blue inhaler may be a permanent feature, but we will need to follow up with our family doctor for more investigation. I'm thankful she's finally getting what she needs and hopeful we can keep her healthy for a while, with the help of her inhaler.

Other than that, Kaitlyn and Ryan are doing great, despite Ryan being super tired as well having to take up the majority of the housework due to my exhaustion. And the kids are calling so I best be putting them to bed. I will try to post more this week, including some updated pics of the girls.
