Nothing much is new here. I'm trying to post a picture of my chin w/the bruise but the site is acting funny. Its attaching fine but not showing. OY. I love to gross y'all out booooooo!
Good Morning. I have had a couple of rotten days... I hope to pull myself out of it today. Getting back on points..and hopefully get my head out of the clouds. Me and my baby girl are going to a baby and me aquasize class after lunch.. We should have fun!
now you know I could never be mad at you guys!
ya'll are the best!
I just have a nagging headache which was probably brought on by worrying about my oldest son that has a chemical imbalance.
ok....I'm gonna spill my guts here......
He had been doing so well, but has had a hard time since starting this semester. I think as the classes get harder, it is more stress for him and stress is a huge factor with any chemical imbalance, and he just got behind in his classes and panicked bec he felt he couldn't pass upcoming tests and ended up dropping all but 2 classes (while I was out of town with my mom). no big deal, we just all regrouped, and he's looking into a 2 year degree rather than a 4 year, but I've been working on additional paperwork so that he can keep his scholarships, even tho he won't be able to take the required hours, but am hoping they will make an exception due to his chemical imbalance.
But he had a doctor's appt today (which got me into a poopy mood). He goes every 3 to 6 months depending on how he is feeling, and he is already on a lot of meds, and the doc wanted to increase two of them, and add another one to help with the heart palpitations and adrenaline rushes he is having because of his anxiety and I'm just sick about it. The doc says its just for a month or two until he is feeling better, but that has been said with every med we've added or increased, and then when we try to reduce them it causes problems.
I could just cry. I am so worried about all of these meds. I was the type of mom that never gave my kids any medicine unless they really needed it and I use to not take an advil unless my head was KILLING me. man have I come a long way.
But the thing is I keep hoping to take him off some of this stuff, and then it seems like we have to increase stuff or add more and it's just nerve racking! I know his memory is already not what it use to be! I'm worried we are frying the boys brain *sigh*
I'm just being silly I guess.
His doc knows my concerns about the meds, we talked about it again today (I thought I was gonna start crying right in front of him like an idiot but I was able to stop myself, thank goodness), but he reminded me that it's just short term and that he is not prescribing anything for my son that he would not prescribe for his own under the same circumstances.
you know how it is as a mom - you just want what is best for your kids - so you drive yourself nuts trying to make sure everything is as good as it can be under the circumstances. I want the best for him and I don't know what that is anymore!
Cathy thanks for sharing all that with us......we just love our kids so darn much! We are only as happy as our saddest one....it is a whole lot of worry for you and I don't blame you........hugs to you! You are in my thoughts!
Dee, did you have fun w/the baby today? that class sounds like it would be.
Liz, you say pop I say poop, you say potato I say pototo, you say tomato I say tomater LOL!!!!
April !!!!!!!!!!!! we need your help. There's a lady on the October 20th thread who is asking about light therapy. Could you give her a few words. Thanks sweet lady. Here's the thread:
Cathy, I know what you mean about kids and meds, I hate giving DD anything. But you have to look at it like this. Thank GOODNESS!! there are medications to help him in the first place, just think, or not, what he would be like w/out them. The doctor will get the right combo for him but its tough until they do. Awww Hugs to you sweet Mama, he'll be okay. I'd worry too.
I just got done cleaning my house like a madwoman. My friend from HS is coming over tomorrow night and well I just won't have time tomorrow to do it. DH actually cleaned the bathroom which took a big load off my shoulders YEAH HONEY!!! lol. She'll be here at 6 pm and thats about the time I am just walking in my door.
