The DDA Trouble Free Zone Part 30

[bear74]

Hey guys! You have all been very busy! I haven't really been able to keep up lately. I've been sick for six weeks with a sinus infection, yeast infection, sinus infection, yeast infection. A very vicious circle! The doctor finally gave me a steroid shot and new antibiotics last Thursday, and I mostly stayed home until today. Sending out PD and prayers to all of those who need them!

Congrats to Jennifer on Virginia's arrival! The picture of the three girls of the family is priceless!

Hi Marci that you get well fast.
Thanks for the congrats

The High here in Austin today is 58 I think. We had packed shorts to wear home from the hospital. Jeff Had to run home and get pants for us to wear. Waiting for him to get back so we can go home.

Congratulations on the delivery! You must be superwoman to go without drugs, etc.!!! I'm excited to keep reading and find out if there are pictures!

Thanks Glynis

Becky what a great trip report.

I can't believe how good they are. Last year I asked on the CB about apples and someone mentioned Fuji, and while good, I like the Honey Crisp even more.

I didn't make the suggestion, but they are our favorite! They are some of the only apples I'll eat!

Deb sounds like you and Chris had a very magical trip. Congrats on all the Pixie dust.

Welcome home.

 

[Pooh67_68]

Ok, then someone on the CB mentioned them.

Nope. Not me. They sound really good! My favorites are Cameo and Pink Lady!

Yes Virginia has red hair. Not as red as Olivia I think she will be strawberry blonde as she has blonde in it as well. Looks just Like her sister when she was born.

Welcome home Chris and Deb.

 

[Pooh67_68]

Welcome home Ann Marie.

Does anyone know how to get the search function to work?
I am looking for my apple thread I started on the CB, but no matter what I type in it tells me sorry, no matches.

Amy said it works better if you put the "skin" on California gold.

It works better, but it's still pretty pitiful. I desperately miss the old search! I DIS less, honestly, because it doesn't work! There have been several threads where webmasters, etc told us it would be fixed, but I'm thinking they changed their minds.

The boardtracker search is absolutely useless!

Yes, well, then there's that. I am always SHOCKED when search works for me. I do remember when it worked well, but luckily I don't search for things very often.

What used to absolutely crack me up was when the "search posts by username" worked and people would go back and quote things that other people said YEARS before to try to catch them in a lie. One guy that was put through the wringer and hung up to dry posts on the PinPics boards now. Every time I see his posts I have to fight the urge to ask him whatever happened with his HUGE WDW drama that was going to make the national news.

Can I just say that you guys are killing me? Over 100 pages since I last popped in on Wednesday afternoon!!!

But, I'm reading every word. You can even quiz me! And, I'm on to all of your schemes!

Only 23 pages to go...see you later when I finish.....

And maybe this way I'll see how screwed up my siggie is now!

Your signature looks fine.
100 pages? Really? Hmm.
Only a couple of the text posts are important, but there are some really cool pics.
Marci needs to get healthy so we can all get together!
Oh, and when you catch up, we want to hear about your trip!

Well, we are supposedly having the Director of Egleston OR and Dr. W (the Egleston surgeon) both calling the head of the GI practice tomorrow to demand an appt and ask why in the world it is taking so long. Rees is just Rees... hanging in there and acting like nothing is wrong... Then I check his tummy and it is huge, hard, and he still is having all the bathroom symptoms. He is having the outpatient surgery on Thursday, so, to be honest, I'm just so stressed overall that I am just walking through the day like a zombie. I have calls into the GI, the Ped, the surgeon, his Endocrinologist. They all say don't go to the ER as we'd just get shoveled around by the ER docs and maybe seen by GI for a few minutes with an appt to be made later...

He went to Physical Therapy for the first time in 4 weeks today. His PT (who has worked with Rees since birth and is such a good friend) couldn't believe how bad he looked, how thin he is, said he shook the entire time, was so weak. It is literally killing me. I feel helpless, just like I did when I watched all 3 of them in the NICU for 14 weeks and had no idea whether they would live or not.

I eat and binge, then don't eat at all. I haven't had a drink as I'm afraid I wouldn't stop. Today I hid in bed from 8am to 1pm just crying under the covers and waiting for a call that, once again, never came.

Thanks for letting me vent and complain here. And my DH would tell you that patience is NOT my strong suit at all. But I have no idea what else to do at this point? It's just so amazing. We have EXCELLENT private insurance, fantastic docs, are in a major medical area with 2 Children's hospitals, I'm a peds nurse. What do people do who have no insurance or access or knowledge of health care? It is very, very scary.
