That’s pretty scary. inthekitty How are you and YH holding up? It has to be tough to watch her in pain like that.

That’s pretty scary. inthekitty How are you and YH holding up? It has to be tough to watch her in pain like that. So-so. Of course we're trying to keep up our brave faces on around her but it really sucks to see her so miserable. MH tends to be more of the sensitive one and he cried for a while yesterday. I'm good at being calm under pressure and coming up with a game plan and it's hard for me to be home now instead of with her. Part of the reason I'm trying to rush through the necessities at work so I can switch off with MH if need be. I felt so bad for her this morning. She started crying and asked me if I'd take care of Purple (her special blanket) because Purple was really sick.

M’s dentist office called this morning to say they had a cancellation and could get him in to fill that small cavity. I checked him out a little after lunch and now just waiting for them to finished. He’s going to be happy to get a whole afternoon at home to himself. I may see if he wants to help purge some toys.

My moms cat brought in another chipmunk. And set it free. My dad is currently using a fishing pole to try and scare it out from under a dresser. We never found the other one.. my dad keeps yelling at Blu "damn it Blu, if you're going to hunt you have to kill these things!" "You can't just move the whole damn family in here!" "How am I supposed to catch it now blu?" 😂😂😂 He’s probably bringing it in as a toy. Marty likes to toss bugs around. Poor ladybugs usually.

That sounds horrible inthekitty. Could Lyme cause this? I know dogs have a lot of joint pain but that’s my only point of reference. Not to compare her to a dog! I hope you get some answers soon. Can M go back to school since C was negative? mwhip I would be upset too. I would probably tell him where he can shove his fireworks but that wouldn’t be productive! Hopefully he can start the new job soon and start bringing money in.

C had a great first baseball game last night. I think they won but the coach I asked said he wasn’t keeping score. Someone must know and since we have playoffs at the end of the season, it does matter. My highly competitive nature does not do well with “as long as their having fun”. Ugh I’ve become such a crazy sports mom!
He has another tonight but it rained all morning so the town may not allow play on the wet fields. They have an intense wet field policy. Fine with me because it is also windy and I don’t want to sit outside.
My mom got released today and is doing better. She still has a long road to recovery but she can be fairly self sufficient right now.
Work has been irritating already and it’s only Tuesday. However they did change it to us returning mid June and we are only allowed to go into the office for two days a week until August. Then it will be three with September being our full return. I’m happy they are easing us in and I have a bit more time to get my hair done.

inthekitty that poor baby. I’m surprised they haven’t sent her to a children’s hospital to be evaluated instead of trying to get it figured out in the clinic. I hope they are able to keep her comfortable. mwhip I’m sorry you’re so stressed. mamabear from what I’m seeing the acog is recommending pregnant women get the COVID shot to pass immunity onto the baby. I’m glad I have been passing my antibodies to V because I’ve heard some bad things that can happen to babies that get COVID.

DH went to work today and then told me that he might be cutting it close to making it in time for H’s soccer game, which is at 6. I also have to work tonight so that’s fantastic. I picked up pots and flowers to put together for S’s teachers. I want the plants to grow for a little bit together before I give them.

Cass update: They re-ran a bunch of labs. Still some things that were off but WBCs went down which is good. She's able to walk slowly now. MH said they fully looked her over and had several other docs come in again including a Pedi and the consensus is unknown virus. It should run it's course in 7-10 days and there's not much we can do in the interim. I'm relieved to know she should be getting better in a couple of days but it sucks to see her miserable. ETA: School nurse confirmed that M can go back to school Thursday (she's in person T and R). Although we just got a vague-mail about rising numbers in our county so it sounds like we might be on the verge or back to all DL anyway.

inthekitty I'm glad she's feeling better, but I hate that is the answer. Its the generic answer when they can't find the problem. I hope she continues to improve quickly!

Thanks for all the tags. We were at the hospital about 4.5 hours. The speech therpaist from HISD did join us for the appt with the speech pathologist, which was great. We met with her for 2 hours. BOttom line, he needs surgery and then vigorous speech therapy. SHe had him close his nose with his fingers and then make the P and B sounds and he was able to do it, for the most part. If he lets go of his nose, too much air escapes from his nose so he can't produce the sound correctly.
Then we met with the ENT. She did the scope, which was not delightful. But he was able to make some of the sounds they needed him too. I was able to see the big gap from his soft palate to the back of his throat. They also saw what they believe is his carotid artery in an odd spot, so they need to get a ct scan of that before surgery. The ENT wants to wait for the results from genetics before we move forward with surgery in case we need to see a cardiologist.
Once these main things get out of the way, the ent will discuss the details of the surgery with me. I'm happy to finally have a plan and to know what to expect, but I really want the genetic results NOW. LOL.

H accepted the job. They're trying to determine if he can start training next week, while running the background check. I really hope he can...I cant take another 2 weeks of this.
He would either go to Phoenix for 1 week then St Louis for 2 weeks, or vice versa.
We talked at lunch and things have smoothed over, so I feel better about things. I dont think he still fully understands the financial situation, but we can at least talk to each other.
Oh, and Evie made it the entire school day just fine. And she sounds better tonight. So clearly she didn't need to stay home again.

I was in the depths of packing when the weather sirens starting going off early this afternoon. We had a crazy storm roll through with straight line winds and hail. The power was out for about 1.5 hours. When we went to get M2 from daycare, there was so many trees down in peoples yards. I didn’t see any that fell on houses so that’s good.

The best part is that we valeted the car and it took forever for them to bring it to me. The guy checked my ticket twice and radioed in it. So this old man finally brings up my car and I have Hayden on my hip. The guy gives me my keys and H lunges for him to give him a big hug. Then I put him in the car seat and he tells the valet guy that he loves him and gives him a fist bump.
The valet guy says, " Congratulations on having a sweet and loving boy."
If you had only seen him 20 min ago.....

Well, the third wave is kicking our province into lockdown, kids online for the next 2 weeks starting Friday and some other shit that really doesn’t affect me as I wasn’t kicking it at patios with a cold beer and friends anyways.
I’m glad it’s only 2 weeks I was really thinking they’d just do online until end of school which is end June for us.
B isn’t phased at all, he’ll do school and I’ll work as per.

tgrimes I’m sorry he will need surgery but glad you are finally getting real answers. inthekitty hope C is feeling better and you all get some rest tonight. My sister had some freak virus settle in her hip when we were kids on vacation. The hospital there wanted to do surgery so my parents took her to a hospital close to home where they decided it was a virus. We have pictures of her walking with a walker but my mom said in like a week she was completely fine and never had issues again. mwhip glad YH found a job and E was feeling better.
