I am one that was scared away by all the chatter. I found cruise plans lost in a sea of what seemed like long established personal relationships that I don't feel right intruding on. You all seem like really nice people but I just don't have the time to chatter like that. No offense to anyone.
I check the boards every couple days but do not have the time for pages and pages of chatter so I move on. Though I keep hoping that you will come back to cruise plans and information and I will join in again.
I sendto all of you that are going through some pretty heavy stuff right now and you are in my thoughts and prayers.
WOW....we are in the midst of quite the wind storm...waiting for the power to go out so I can go home! Tree limbs are falling everywhere and the gusts are crazy. Luckily we still have power at home and Scott is on his way there now to fill up bathtubs in case we do lose power....in the new house when we lose power we lose waterbecause it is on a well.
Angie...is it windy in Oregon too?
Oh, I'm keeping the appointments. His EEG was this morning. The appointment on Tuesday is for his dad and stepmom and I, then the following Tuesday is just for Tyler to do his whole day of testing. We have to pay $1700 up front, I have the money on its way, and all I need now is for his dad to decide whether he's coming to the parents' appointment or if he chooses not to, he'll have to sign a consent to let me start treatment.
Tyler is with his dad tonight, so that's a good thing because he has a basement and I don't. Without a basement, the recommended thing to do is go in a room with no windows. I have a small closet in the center of the house, next to my bathroom, and that's where I'd go if the tornado did come through.It's Thursday so Tyler is with his dad right? I don't know if that's good or bad.
How are you supposed to sleep tonight if it's going to continue until 6am???? I know I would be up all night.....but you have such a full day tomorrow!!! But how could you sleep through this? Holly, I really feel for you tonight. I'm not sure what I would do in your shoes? I wish I lived closer and could help out, although I don't know what I would do? How do you prepare for a tornado.....basement? Do you have one? What if you don't? It's very scary!!!
That's a great idea! Wish I could. Our most recent tornado warning expires in 20 minutes. I don't see anything else coming on the radar picture, so I think I'm going to head to bed. I think the weather guy just meant that storms could be coming until 6am, not necessarily tornados.Holly, stay safe tonight! My grandparents lived in West Texas and I know that my grandma would go sleep in the cellar on nights like this. They had a bed down there that was quite comfy. Wish you had a cellar to go to.

He and Tyler's stepmom just don't agree with spending the money now when we'll have to pay the deductible all over again at the beginning of the year, BUT I haven't had a chance to ask him to call his insurance company and ask about what others here have mentioned - about counting that deductible towards next year's since its near the end of the year and would be for treatment of the same condition. Either way, I told him I have the money, so it shouldn't matter whether he thinks it's a smart thing to do. All he has to do is show up. Very simple!
Thanks Deb! Fall in Michigan is just wonderful.Thank Goodness Tyler has a basement to go in and at least you have your closet. But how do you stay awake all night watching the warnings? Can you sleep in your closet?
How devistating for your co-worker and leaving on Sat when the neighborhood is in such a state. I hope she's ok too. Definitely call her in the morning and let us know how she made out.
You try to post on here early am so we know you made it thru the night. I'll be thinking of you in my dreams. I want to know that you're ok too.
It's so scary!
Will post in the morning if we don't lose power. OK....weather guy says the biggest storm system is what's going on right now and once that passes, no more worries. He says there's another group of storms coming, but those aren't anything dangerous like he originally thought. Sounds like I can go to bed! Thanks Deb! Fall in Michigan is just wonderful.

Are we making cruise and excursion plans on the Ship of thieves pages? I am so far behind in all aspects that I am not checking it either. Should we repost how to communicate there and get some planning chatter going on there?

His dad managed to keep him up as long as possible, then struggled to wake him up at 4am like the doc said to, but he said Tyler was pretty good natured about it for having very little sleep. I think he said he slept about 4 hours. The technician doing the EEG said they got a successful reading, meaning his dad did a good job of making sure he was sufficiently sleep deprived. Then when they got to the point where the needed him to fall asleep and test his brain patterns while sleeping, his dad told me that was a struggle because he was overtired and just couldn't fall asleep and was REALLY cranky (understandable), so they asked dad to leave the room and Tyler calmed right down and fell asleep. Now, I know he must have been completely exhausted to be able to fall asleep in a strange place with a stranger in the room.This is such positive news.....good for you and Tyler! How did he do on his EEG this morning? Was it hard for him to stay awake so long?
Poor little guy....he's only 5.
