The DDA Trouble Free Zone Part 8

[tink2020]

Ohhhhhhhh!!! I hate pretending to be not mad at hubby, only seems to make me more angry. Hope you have an enjoyable night.

Yeah, who knows. I actually let it go, have been and plan on continuing to enjoy myself ...

-- and he's still totally in a funk. Geek.

Whatever! We just had a fantastic dinner, now we're getting ready to play one game of ESPN Scene It with my mom and sister (hey, we play Disney lots of times... I figure he can do this one this one day ) and then I think I'm calling it a night. Hopefully 'everyone' will wake up on the right side of the bed tomorrow!

Rees did very well with the Upper GI this morning. He got quite upset, but overall handled it extrememly well all things considered.

The Pediatric Surgeon, just called. Rees does have a Diverticula in the lower esophagus. He said it is in a very weird location (usually they are higher in the Esophagus), but isn't sure if that is causing all of Rees' problems. He also said the Fundo wrap looks very large, and it may be twisted or loose. He wants to take a close anatomical look at Rees himself. So next Thursday, May 25, Rees will go to Egleston Hospital to have another Endoscopy and an abdominal ultrasound. The surgeon will perform both tests himself. Rees will have to have general anesthesia again. ​

The surgeon said the surgery, if Rees needs it, is major and he would be in the hospital for at least a week. He doesn't want to do unless he has to, so we may end up trying the feeding tube route if Rees keeps losing weight.

So please pray we find a definitive answer to what is hurting Rees, that he starts eating, and maintains his current weight. We appreciate the prayers and support more than you can imagine.

Prayers, and for Rees and your whole family!!

Those are so awesome Paula!

And let it go on the record that I can keep a secret, because Marti told me about this SSP weeks ago...though I "might have" told Dawn.

Usually keeping a secret means not telling anyone.

Princess Bride is the movie of the month. Should be on a couple more times yet!!

Jim loves Princess Bride...I think it's his favorite movie!!

I probably shouldn't say this out loud with Amy lurking about but I've never seen this movie. I DVR'd it the other day but forgot to set it to not delete so I'll have to check and see if it's on again.

The GI doctor's nurse just called because the Radiologist Report came back. It says the Fundoplication is Incompetent. That means it has failed. He is to call us tomorrow with more information. It also showed that Rees' stomach has rotated to a transverse (lying on its side) position which is very unusual and probably means it is trying to herniate. So, if this is all true, it does look like Rees will be having surgery. I will keep you posted. I told the nurse to have the GI doc call the surgeon so they could discuss treatment. I'll try to be back later.

Good luck to Rees!

I came home last night and forgot to brag on Cassidy!!! (see what I mean )

Cassidy had main parts to play/sing in three of the bands that performed last night (the other two were 6th & 7th grade band so they don't count ). The entire 8th grade band has only 30 students in it (the smallest the teacher has ever had) so you can really every squeak but their rendition of a patriotic medley gave me goosebumps. She played the piccollo in addition to her flute in this medley. In jazz band she also had a soli...again I got goose bumps. The funnest part of the final concert every year is the final piece. Mr. Farrell is a percussion fiend and so he has the 8th grade percussion do a blue man group piece complete with the lighting!! Remember 8th grade band is small, so there are only 10 instead of the usual 20+ to do this piece. Anyway Cassidy and a friend were the girls who won the auditions for the singing part!! Quite hilarious to see my daughter up there in rope lights . I love this finale!!

Done with what seems like my daily brag on my baby.

Yeah Cassidy!

Jenn, I must have missed a post. When is/was his birthday?

Dh took Riley for his eye appointment while I was at the game. He needs glasses, so now I get to take him back to pick out frames. This probably explains some of the headaches he has been having. I had to go to his school today & take him some tylenol. This should be fun seeing how long a pair will last before they get broken or lost How old do children have to be before they can wear contact lenses?

This coming from a woman who referred to herself as "dense" today!

When Jennifer admitted she hadn't seen The Outsiders, I made her come over and watch it. I guess you better start pricing airfare to Cincinnati...

Hi!

I'm two weeks behind on posts. But I'm done with customer events for a few weeks (yay!!!!!!!!!!!), so hopefully I can be on more frequently. My next event is at the Dolphin, and I'm staying at the Yacht Club. Yay!!!!! No complaints about traveling for that one.

Will anyone be at WDW June 11-14? That's when I'll be there for my customer event. If you are, send me a PM (so I don't miss your post on here), and maybe we can get together.

Has anyone made a purchase on www.cheapestees.com? I can't find blank nightshirts at Target. I don't want to shop from an unknown site. People on here have mentioned the site, but has anyone bought off it?

TIA!


Jennifer

I buy from them all the time. They are very quick, and I always get exactly what I ordered.

Check the birthday thread silly!

But, I'll be nice and tell you since I looked at it today...Kyle's birthday is 5/20.

And, I'm only answering for Jennifer, because she said she was going to play a game.

Paula - those pillowcases are awesome! (By the way Denise and I were among the first of the DDAs to meet at DisneyWorld, and we did discuss where we were going to be on the days that we were there together so that we could possibly meet up - actually, I met all of the triplefig family - does that count?)

Amy, I'm back on page 2195, so I don't know if you got an answer or not, but I don't have a green thumb either, and I always have good luck with Petunias. They come in a variety of colors, don't require much care, are good in sunlight. All you have to do is water them, and "deadhead" them once in awhile (gently pull the dried up flowers out of the stem - lots more will grow back).

Thanks! We decided to take a walk for ice cream instead of shopping for flowers tonight, but I'll add this suggestion to Kevin's list!

Did I mention I'm lazy today?




BTW, where is Glynis? Did anyone give her permission to be away from the thread

I really think someone needs to pass up Kate's and Tammi's post count on this thread while they're gone. Kate has 2224 posts and Tammi has 2080.

Jennifer, you're closest wtih 1689, followed by Glynis with 1503 and Vicki with 1473.

But, Paula, this seems right up your alley...you have 1250 posts.

Amy

yes it does sound like it would be right up paulas ally.

You mean there's life beyond the DISboard and the DDA?

I'm lazy today too. I'm going to be very sorry when we are supposed to leave for our camping trip tomorrow. Nothing is ready!!!!

To everyone who gave me advice about my resort upgrade choice (especially Chanon) - I called CRO back last night and changed again to POFQ standard view instead of water view. I didn't want to be stuck back by the river - I want to be near the main building and the bus stop. Besides, it was $90 cheaper and I can buy a lot of Mickey Bars or Dole Whips for $90 (I have never had a Dole Whip, but Marti has convinced me to try one)!!
