You ready to chat the night away Steph or back to bed for you?

I am wide awake, I think I might have slept too much today. I hope I don't get turned around. How are you? Sleepy yet?

You're kidding right?

No of course not. The most I would do is have to lay down because of my back............but not yet.

 

[Ready to go in Ok]

I only feel really bad when my fever is up, but it is down right now, so I am good. DD has a game tomorrow night, so I really hope I am feeling better tomorrow. How is your oldest DS feeling this evening?

 

[paigevz]

He kept saying he wasn't sick, wasn't sick............but he also was getting angry at little stuff...................I need to go take his temp again..........I'll do it when I sign off............

 

[Ready to go in Ok]

Poor guy. When my kiddos are really sick they sleep...that is how I can tell they aren't feeling well.....if they want to just watch tv, I know it is a snow job, and they just don't want to go to school.....

He has ADHD..........he hardly sleeps..............when he's sick, the only way to tell is with a thermometer, by looking in his eyes, or by his emotional state.

The little one too, gets really fussy, but he lays and watches TV.........doesn't sleep either, except for regular sleep times.

 

[paigevz]

So how are your girls???

20 yrs ago, I never thought I would one day be talking about how my children act when they are sick. Off topic, sorry. Sometimes it just strikes me as strange that I am actually a mom. I am not very maternal sometimes, and when I was a teenager, I did not want kids......now I can't imagine life without them.

 

[Ready to go in Ok]

So how are your girls???

They are fine. My oldest has GERD, and she hasn't been taking her meds like she is supposed to, so she has been having stomach aches, but luckily, they don't seem to have come down with anything yet....

I always wanted lots of kids. After Big son was born, we couldn't have another. We tried to adopt but wanted younger than him and that was hard to find.........I was diagnosed with secondary infertility and took drugs to get Little Son. We still intended to adopt...........when the kids were bigger..........then dh got sick and we won't be accepted by any agencies now. I had that dream as far back as I can remember...........to adopt lots of kids. It was really hard to let go of it.

I can't remember, what does your DH have?

 

[paigevz]

I can't remember, what does your DH have?

Autoimmune hepatitis..........his body attacks his liver and he produces toxic bile. He has to take synthetic bile and Imuran, which is a powerful immune suppressant. It's chronic and it's fatal. They gave him 5-10 years to live if he didn't go into remission. I had a 4 month old and a 7 year old when he was diagnosed. The only cure is transplant, and very few HIspanics donate organs. However, he can go into remission, which we now think he's done, and that can last indefinitely.

Oh my gosh! I didn't realize it was that serious...How scary for all of you. I am glad that he is in remission, that has to be a huge load off of your mind....

Well, we won't be sure he's in remission until his biopsy is done. That's the one we had to put off because he got sick.

That's why I was so worried because with his immune system low, the flu or strep can be really bad.

So I don't have the load off yet.

Jay has really helped me with some of this. It's good to talk about it, but I hate making people feel uncomfortable, so I keep it under wraps most of the time.

Also, because no one here really KNOWS anyone else, I'm afraid folks will think I'm an attention seeker and making all this stuff up. When I get to talking about it, it seems like a lot of stuff.................which, I guess, is why I have anxiety attacks and don't sleep well.

I completely understand. I am the same way about my father and his illness. I don't really talk about it much because of the same reasons. Or my drunken SIL, or my destitute DSis, etc., etc.

I know people IRL think that I am exagerating, so I can only imagine what people on line would think lol

I am glad you have had Jay to talk to. I don't know her very well, but she seems nice.
