Yay for going home soon xolastunicornxo! We are still waiting for discharge. She had 1 seizure yesterday- very minimal one. I didn’t even catch it. Then the 3 today. Most likely going to increase her new med that we started a month ago. The attending on duty just is waiting to hear back from her dr. They agreed that the lack of sleep from last night probably contributed to today’s 3 seizures. She suggested we do melatonin regularly at bedtime to help her fall asleep at a decent time. They also suggested trying an earlier bedtime with the melatonin to ensure she’s getting enough sleep since sleep (or lack of) is such a big trigger with seizures.

Thanks for checking in, dapostrophe. I'm doing okay. My hcg number from yesterday came in at a little over 5k. At this stage, it should be 100-200k, so it's already coming down pretty quickly. I'm hopeful that I won't need a D&C, but we'll see. I think when this is all behind me I'll be able to process it, but for now I'm just trying to figure out the exit strategy. I'm so sorry. Hugs.

I hope that new information is helpful with controlling the frequency, lfig.

That’s so terrible peachsmama . I get really anxious at the thought of my kids going off to school one day. Me too. They redid our elementary school with security offices and coded doors to get past the lobby. But the middle school and high school haven't done that yet. But of course this was a student so security probably wouldn't have made a difference in this particular case.

joelies , lol at 4 and 5 year olds being exhausting but a 15 mile is no big deal! You're crazy Oh no, that part was excruciating. I'm working from home right now and just wanted to curl up in a ball and take a nap.

Not exactly, we did a long weekend without kids in San Diego for a wedding. In and Out was our first stop. I had never been west of Chicago in my life. DH is frequently in California. We came back all excited that we survived a kid free weekend with big plans for our next one and 11 day later, we found out about the baby.

joelies I don't know how you run 15 miles and then function for the rest of the day. Seriously, if I run my normal 2-3 miles (adjusted to 1 mile for pregnancy) I need a nap.

cagoldi, I had growing pains a lot as a kid and remember how painful they were so I try to cut her some slack. I'll have to try heat next time to see if that helps. Speaking of growing, H has not grown in months. He's grew a 1/2 in between july and oct and hasn't grown since. I thought the measurements were maybe off because he never seems to lay still, so I measured him at home last night. He is officially >1% for height when he used to be 25-50%. I'm sure it's nothing to worry about, but man, why is he so short?? We're still 2 months from his 2yr appt, so maybe he'll have a growth spurt by then. The kid is definitely eating enough, I'd think he'd have to grow soon! S is a slow grower too. From may 30-aug 30 she only grew 1in. Her next appt is in a month so we will see where she’s at. Her last appt (in aug) she was 30.5in, 12th percentile. I just checked and H was pretty similar in her growth rate.

peachsmama, that is horrible. When I read the story earlier it was only 1 fatality with several injured.

I called and got an appt scheduled for Thursday afternoon while H is at school. S will have to come with me but it should be ok, I’ll just bring the iPad. I’m seeing a new doctor, hopefully I like her. The one I went to before left and I haven’t found a pcp since.

Why don’t schools use the same locks and entry codes like DCs do (my coworker informed me that her kids’ ES does). But then when it’s a student who does the shooting, I guess locks and secured access aren’t really preventing anything. 😞

Our taxes aren't done yet, but we file ASAP because we have known a few people who have had people file for them and steal their tax return.

DD who eats just about nothing recently started eating salsa. T wanted some too and she told him "just make sure you don't accidentally eat any of the vegetables in there, they are not for eating."
