Wonderful Water

Hi everyone !

I promise I will tell you about 3yrs old and the blow up birthday cake later.
Marqus made it to class today. His hips are painful but he has a cane.
I figure if you have to carry a cane it may as well look cool. We found a hand made one last year.

I want to share some tips for staying hydrated when you have Sickle Cell.

Just imagine cells that are shaped like c's trying to all squeeze thru your blood vessels and they stick together along the way.
If you are dehydrated your blood will be thick making it harder to circulate.

POP and SUGAR drinks will not help you.
You need good old H2O!!!

I know water is tasteless colorless and boring.
How about this?
Cut up some lemons add honey and pour it over ice ! Lemonade!
We found a fizzy powder called emergence at Sams Club it tastes great we sprinkle it in tonic water from Whole food.
Next pedilyte is not just for babies, try it when you start to feel dry.
Chill it in the fridge and just chug it!!!
Sometimes you just have to do it even if it tastes gross right? Whats the alternative dark urine
eyes more yellow lips dry feeling weakness.

Oh Wonderful Water we can find 101ways to drink you if it prevents an episode.
Did you know kidneys need fluid , again Wonderful Water!

When Marqus was small we had water races that was my husbands idea and it worked!!

One last thing alcoholic beverages like beer etc cause dehydration and stress your already stressed livers. AVOID them!

GOOD OLD WATER!!! Check it out!!!


I promise to send some pictures I just figured out how to blog LOL!!!

Remember "BREAK THE SICKLE CYCLE" pass this on.

Thank You
