Why So Young?

I started blogging to vent about work and the people we talked to everyday. Turns out that I have found it a great place to vent about things I can't vent about anywhere else. As some of you may know, my wife Tracy is 30 yo(31 on 12/9) and has heart and kidney issues. On Monday morning my wife went in to have her blood work done as she does every couple of months. Now to no surprise, her kidney function has dropped slightly from 12% to about 10%. Something that we expect everytime she goes in. This time was different though, things we have been watching are her protein and potassium levels. Her protein went down which is great, her potassium - not so much. Her potassium is about twice what it should be for a normal adult. That means many things, all bad. If she doesn't get it down immediately she at the very least will start to experience cramps, soreness and stiffness of her muscles(Which she already has). Worse case, and this is where we stand currently with where her levels are at, is heart murmurs and/or cardiac arrest. Now add this to her heart issues and this scares the shit out of me. Worst of all I don't want to let her know that it does, she has enough to stress over. If she were to over do it, or to get too excited, or consume outside stimulants such as caffeine or sugar(in normal quantities); it could kill her. Now I know I say alot at work on how she doesn't do much around the house and such, but I love her and am not ready to live with out her. I am sure everything will be fine as it always is, but you never know and I am just preparing for the worst.
