Dehydrated

By Monday I was not looking good. My eyes were very sunken and I looked very pale. I still am running a fever. My parents think that I am dehydrated. They never understood why they had cut out 50% of my liquids which ended up being my water as the other 50% is my food. It is time to go back to San Jose. There is definitely something wrong with me and as Luisa always says when I am sick, my eyes look sad.

The next morning we packed up and went to San Jose. We went to ER and did the usual exams and my blood work came back with high sodium this time. Can you imagine!!! High sodium can cause death, also was the cause of my fever as my blood work came by normal and I have no infection. My nuerologist said the worse thing to happen to me is to have my sodium levels going up and down it is very very hard on the body. Now my sodium is too high!!!! Geez can we not get this straightened out? One minute high the next low. We increased the water, my mom had already begun to give me water the day before and now we have decided that we will not leave San Jose until we get this sodium problem straightened out! Thankfully Irene’s parents are so kind to our family and has offered to let us stay in their home until we get this figured out. Immediately after I began to receive more water I started looking much better!
Love Malia
