The DDA Trouble Free Zone Part 6

[Pooh67_68]

Have fun at the movies.

Good morning. Rees is done with his test!!!!!!!!!!! YIPPPPEEEEEEEE!!!! He did great. He did reflux once I saw during the night. Overall, he only refluxed a few times that we witnessed. I am guessing the doctor will say that medication and diet for now to control it, and when and if the reflux breaks through that treatment, then we'll redo the Fundo. I'll get all the official results on Tuesday, and it still depends on the biopsy results and if he refluxed more than John and I saw.

Thanks for the prayers! He had milk for lunch and oatmeal (his faves!). Taking them to the movie later and getting a giant popcorn with butter. Yummy!

What a disappointing week-end. Friday was so nice - sun shining and warmer weather. Saturday was overcast, windy & chilly. Today is starting out the same way. Bummer! One of those days I just want to stay home under the covers. Wish I had an indoor fireplace that I could snuggle in front of.

Chuck is making italian sausage soup because we wanted something warm for lunch. His parents are taking a drive over for a visit this afternoon. They live 1-1/2 hours away. The house smells wonderful!!!!! The last time we made it we were hoping to freeze some but I enjoyed it too much and wanted it in the fridge instead.

Gotta Go! His parents are here. I'll catch up later.

The soup sounds delish! Enjoy your visit with Chuck's parents.

Thanks everyone for the good thought regarding Molly. She has been fine today since she got up, which means she is actively destroying everything around her.

DS came to ask if he could ride his bike so I said yes, a little later a neighbor from down the road drove him home, he fell off his bike and both knees are scraped and bleeding but he won't let us near him!!!

Hi everyone.
Hope you all are doing well.
Just popping in to say the move went well.
All settled in before the rain hit.
Pretty much all done unpacking.
I cheated.
Apartment has been empty since 4/8/6.
So I have been moving things in since then.
Just needed the furniture, kitchen stuff in.
The girls ( ) are a bit confused.
Need to get some food & Ramiro pictures up in his room.
Hoping I can get caught up Sunday.
Only 250 pages behind so far.
take care later.

Jo, I'm so glad that the move went well! I bet it feels really good to be out of that house. I hope the kitties adjust well. I know that you and Ramiro will be just fine! Check back in when you get a chance!

Our family friend , alyssa, that i posted about is not doing good at all..Shes on new medicine and had another surgery yesterday--im hoping things turn around but as of not, its not looking good..we may go see her in the hospital (4 hours away) next weekend, depending on if she is awake..
hopefully i will have good news next time i post!

Jen, I'm so sorry that Alyssa is not doing well. I'll continue to keep her in my prayers. I hope you do well with your finals, etc. I can empathize with you, as my semester ends on the 5th. There's nothing like the feeling that the school year is over!

Take care and check back when you get a minute!

 

[Glynis]

Hmm no exactly!

I got one 80% done
Another 60% done
And then just started the third - now we've had an extension on the first two, the third on is now due first!

There is method in my madness I promise

Glad your office is coming along - just remember baby steps and you'll get there

Oh yeah - thanks everyone for all the FlyLady links - I've just started building my control journal and have ordered my timer and my feather duster

Yay! Another Flylady convert! I would be lost without my control journal. I even made one for Katie. It's really helping her keep her routines in order. She loves it!

I bet you are all so happy to be done with the test! I'll keep my fingers crossed for a good prognosis on Tuesday. I bet Rees is happy to be able to eat his favorite foods again. Have a great time at the movie, and eat some popcorn for me!

I'm not a designer, but I wanted to add my wishes for Paul:

Have a wonderful birthday! I hope you have a great day with lots of happiness!

I am a bit tired today, if I could mainline some coffee I just might.

DH just left and the girls are a tad sad, so we are off to play in the back yard.

I did read all the posts, but I didn’t take notes this round. Sorry.

So PD and prayers to all who could use them.

Happy happy joy joy for all who have had good things happen.

I am off to find any thing with mega caffeine, it’s only 2:10 and the girls wont go to bed for another FIVE plus hours. Maybe I will use toothpicks to keep my eyes open.

Wow. That is just so sweet of you to say, that I am at a loss of words. I try very hard to always see the wonder and amazement that is my Rees, but it is not easy to do at times. No parent of a special needs child can every truly understand why their child is chosen by God for these issues, but at at the same time be blessed by God with many other wonderful talents.

Believe me, I don't always handle it well. What nobody sees, including my DH, is me in the shower late at night crying, blaming God, asking why, screaming my head off, being so mad I could just go crazy. After I let it out, I try to remember how blessed I am to even have Rees, remember how much joy and love he brings to me each and every day, and leave the rest to God. Do I wish that Rees had an easier time? Of course. Do I have a difficult time when a new problem arises? You bet your life I do. Do I get mad that he has problems when other kids don't? Darn right! Do I deny some of his diagnosis at first because it is too much to bear. Absolutely. But this is the way God made him, and I wouldn't trade it for the world.

I'm glad that I have helped you in some small way. It is a long and often painful road having a child with special needs, but it is also the most amazing and rewarding journey you will ever take. Just take one day at a time. The single best piece of advice anyone ever gave me concerning Rees was my mom. The day we found out he had severe issues was at his well child check up for his 3rd b'day. My family was there when the doctor told us. John and I were completely devastated, and I couldn't quit crying. My mom looked at me and said, "just remember he is the EXACT same child right now with this diagnosis that he was this morning without it. Nothing else has changed except now you know what you are dealing with and can get help." My mom is a very wise woman.

Denise, I too just want to let you know what an inspiration you are to all of us. I think we each deal with issues with our kids each and every day, but you definitely help me to put everything into perspective. Every child and every person has talents and gifts in some areas and problems in others. Unfortunately some have to deal with much more serious problems than others, and as others have said, you do so with strength and grace. I don't doubt that you would have moments where you need to cry and question. I do that some days over much smaller issues, so it is only natural that you would need to vent/let it all out in order to help cope and deal with things. Rees and all the figs are lucky to have you and John as parents. You should never feel bad for needing to have emotional moments. I imagine it is actually quite healthy.

Hugs to you and your family and prayers and PD that you will get answers for Rees and that the doctors will find a solution with as little pain for Rees as possible.
