The DDA Trouble Free Zone Part 13

[Tammi67]

Hey gang,

Thanks, Denise, for letting me know about all that was going on. I don't have much time to catch up now, but will try to over the weekend. Needless to say, I'll spend some time on my knees today for everyone. I hope September brings much better news!

Welcome back Lindsay! I can't wait to hear all about it.

Here's an update on my mom for those who have asked. Good and bad news, but considering June's news I guess it should all be considered good. They can tell mom has a had a recent stroke. They think it is mild, but have to do more tests. They know she now has two blood clots in her lungs, not sure if this was a low pressure or high pressure (vein vs. artery) stroke. Good news is that her breasts cancer from nine years ago has not metastasized. One of the compression fractures they found does seem to be compressing her spinal cord, and that's why they think she can't walk. Her legs aren't paralyzed -- she has some feeling, but when she tries, she can't move her upper leg to take the step. They have called in a neurosurgeon who is currently in surgery. He will look at the scans and will decide the next step. The complication is the blood clots. The pulmonary specialist I talked to yesterday said that they were treating mom with blood thinners, which should dissolve the clots, but if surgery is required they will have to put a filter in her vena cava to try to catch additional clots.

So, bottom line is I'm trying to finish up work so I can go over and catch the doctors. I stopped on here because you guys are my family and I wanted to ask for prayers and PD. You all have been so supportive over the last few weeks, and I know I keep repeating myself but you have been true lifesavers.

I already sent PD and prayers out for June, Caroline (Dawn) and Kate, so here's some more for anyone else who needs it.

Marci, your mom continues to be in my prayers. I think the DDA needs a break right about now.

What is a tongue guard? Zachary sucks his middle 2 fingers and I have tried everything and can't get him to stop. I'm afraid his teeth are gonna be wrecked.

It is a device that is cemented in and the child cannot put their thumb in their mouth because it is very uncomfortable. If I remember, it is on the roof of the mouth. Any orthodontist would be able to give you more information.

Sooooooooooo,

The plumbing problems continue to grow around here. We have had several problems with our main sewer line backing up and have decided to bite the bullet and dig up and replace the line. Unfortunately our line crosses into the adjoining property, this property is empty and has been on the market for around two years now. The woman that bought it bought it in a very distressed state, sunk a lot of money into it, and is now asking way too much for a home in this neighborhood, hence the reason it is still on the market.

She refuses to allow us to dig up the portion of the line that crosses into her property unless we hire a contractor to do it and she approves first. So we have had a plumber here this morning and the water company. We're waiting on the Call before you dig people to come out and mark the other utilities so that we don't cut into any thing we shouldn't. And we're waiting on the planning commission to get back with us about the right of way, according to the water company the area that the line is on is in the counties right of way and she can't stop us from digging, since she is being such a B***H about everything I want to get it in writing before we start to avoid further problems with her. I can't seem to get her to understand that if we were
reckless people who would do damage to her property we wouldn't have called her in the first place, we would have just done it without her knowledge.
