I can't believe it's been almost 3 years since I have received my "gift of life" there is not 1 single day that goes by that I don't wake up and thank God for each and every day!
My lab work has been almost normal, to give you an idea of what some of the numbers were 3 years ago compared to now here are the results
Alkaline Phosphatase (2008) 957
(2011) 105
normal range is 40-120
Alt (2008) 515
(2011) 24
normal range 1-35
I know your probably like "okay now what do these mean" lol well the Alkaline Phos. basically measures how blocked your bile ducts in your liver are, and Alt helps figure out how well your liver is functioning. In 2008 I woke up every morning vomiting, it was a routine and I actually got used to it :( but I still praised God everyday! There is actually a song that makes me cry everytime I hear it because it reminds me of exactly how I felt during all this, it's a more contemporary type Christian song but it really captures how I felt.
Here is the song:
Whatever You're Doing LyricsArtist(Band):Sanctus Real
It's time for healing time to move on
It's time to fix what's been broken too long
Time make right what has been wrong
It's time to find my way to where I belong
There's a wave that's crashing over me
All I can do is surrender
(Chorus)
Whatever you're doing inside of me
It feels like chaos somehow there's peace
It's hard to surrender to what I can't see
but I'm giving in to something heavenly
Time for a milestone
Time to begin again
Revaluate who I really am
Am I doing everything to follow your will
or just climbing aimlessly over these hills
So show me what it is you want from me
I give everything I surrender...
To...
(Chorus)
Time to face up
Clean this old house
Time to breathe in and let everything out
That I've wanted to say for so many years
Time to to release all my held back tears
Whatever you're doing inside of me
It feels like chaos but I believe
You're up to something bigger than me
Larger than life something heavenly
Whatever you're doing inside of me
It feels like chaos but now I can see
This something bigger than me
Larger than life something heavenly
Something heavenly
It's time to face up
Clean this old house
Time breathe in and let everything out
