My hospital visit in November

--This is what I posted on my myspace after I got out of my hospital stay in November, 2007--

Hey everybody! I know everyone has been wondering what happened to me this past few weeks health wise. I also know that different people know different amounts, so I'll put you all on the same page.
At the end of October, I started getting tired extremely early, but eh, I was getting up at 5 am for school so it was no big deal to me. Then the first Saturday of November I woke up to throwing up mucus. This lasted the weekend, and I went to the doctor Monday and he just gave me nausea meds and thought it was viral. I kept throwing up mucus (never food mind you) the rest of the week, and called him Friday. He said that if I threw up Sunday he wanted to see me Monday, and gave me more meds.
So after throwing up 4 times Sunday, I went in on Monday and he did xrays of my stomach which came back normal, and a complete blood workup.Well Tuesday I went to school, and about the time I was to come home the doctor called and told my mom to get me to the hospital ASAP. My blood counts were horrible..my kreatin (sp?) was 31, its supposed to be 1, they start people on dialysis at 8. The kidney doctor who has been working 25 years has never seen a number that high. My hemocrit was 5.something, it's supposed to be 12-14 so I was extremely anemic. My platelet count was also very low. When I got to the ICU my temp was 94.8. None of the doctors still can believe I went to school, walked a mile and was THAT SICK. I guess I'm just an overachiever.So of course I was admitted, got an emergency catheder in my neck, started on dialysis at 1am, and they knew my kidneys weren't working right, but not sure why. I was in the hospital 10 days, but they could never do a kidney biopsy cause my platelets were too low. They think that I have a blood disorder that caused the kidneys to stop working, so my platelets stayed leveled enough for a bone marrow test to be done Monday, and the results should be back next Monday. Also I stll have to get a specific blood test done. I'm currently on dialysis 3x a week until we figure out what to do.So, in a nutshell, I really know nothing. But I am starting to feel better!
