There is a saying that hold true in every military family. It is that whatever can happen will happen during a deployment or separation. Well, so far this deployment has been the epitome of that statement. A lot has happened so far, and yesterday, an unexplained allergic reaction showed up. Well, it is only getting worse and iI went to the doctor's and all they did was give me medications to deal with the symptoms but no way to figure out what it causing it. It is one of those things that I am sure (well figuratively speaking) would not have happened if my husband was here. So , now, not only am I having to deal with my whole body itching and covered in hives, I have to start making a cake tonight that needs to be finished by tomorrow afternoon. So far, I have gotten a lot of it done, but the medication the doctor gave me are making me a bit tired. I hope I can get it done in time tomorrow and that these medications do their jobs and keep me from itching.
I think the hardest part of this is that it is such an unknown condition right now. I know it is an allergic reaction, but don't know to what. I have never had allergies and have not changed anything recently. There is nothing that I can avoid or get away from to keep this from happening again. It is just one more thing that can be chalked up to the craziness of this deployment. The first time I have ever had an allergic reaction and I have to be by myself. I am so nervous about this whole thing because if it had been a worse allergic reaction, like one that caused breathing issues or something more severe. Being alone for that is scary, probably the most scary of this whole thing. I am scared to have to go to the ER in the middle of the night because I have these 3 kids to take with me or to find someone else to watch them. Either way, it is one of the scariest realities of Ian's deployment.
All I can do is pray that God will keep me healthy throughout this deployment and that my fears are only that, fears and do not become reality.
