Tricky Tuesday

[inthekitty]

tgrimes shit. I'm sorry it didn't work out. I hope they can get him a good appointment time.

[jewels]

Oh man tgrimes I’m so sorry. Is there any way we can help?

inthekitty I agree with everyone - it can’t hurt to make the appointment. I’m sorry she’s had such a hard time.

[lahdeedah]

Ugh. I’m sorry tgrimes That’s so frustrating. I really hoped he would do ok since it’s such a quick scan.

inthekitty Just here for support since everyone else has the same outlook. I understand the stress and hope she continues to improve throughout the week.

You're sweet to ask, but I just need to accept it.  lol.

Work was a beast. I thought my eyes were going to cross from all the numbers I was having to run.
Picked up Cadence from dance. She didn't have school today, but did have assignments. She didn't finish any of them, nor did she clean her playroom. She basically sat around in her tablet all day and mh let her.
I'm so annoyed.
So she will not be having the tablet at all tomorrow.

My mom just texted and she's sick again. We were just there Saturday and she seemed ok. She thinks it might be pneumonia again and is going to the Dr tomorrow.

tgrimes that sucks! Maybe practice at home with M's help. Play a frozen game, where you have to lay still and quiet the longest and have M play along.

tgrimes, I’m so sorry it didn’t work out for H today.
inthekitty, I wish Cass was feeling better. I’m so frustrated for you and her. Please keep us updated.

Damn tgrimes that sucks. Im sure it is difficult for a kid his age to sit completely still. Does they allow them to watch videos during the scan? Thats what evie did for her MRI, and it worked...I was worried it would take forever because she'd move around a lot.

But that might not work for him since the images would be of his head/mouth and the goggles might block the images.

Poor thing...nothing can ever be easy.

How did the appointment go tgrimes? I hope they were able to get what they needed this afternoon 🤞

We just got home. I had to entertain him for 1.5 hours before the procedure. He was a champ foe the IV but wouldn’t sit still for the ct scan. We tried 3 times. So now I have to reschedule for sedation. I’m going to see if we can go to the other campus though because they only schedule them for 2pm, and he won’t be able to eat all day.

That is so frustrating. How can they even think he could wait that long before he then be on his bet behavior?!

I’m sorry Cass is still struggling inthekitty. I agree with the others to get any and all appointments.

He couldn't hold the ipad himself since it was his head & neck.  It was hard for him to see it.

I hope your mom’s ok klong11

We tried that all weekend.  the problem was they have to strap them into the table.  So towels on either side of his head rolled up, plus a strap over his head, then the blankets wrapping him up and a strap over his arms.  It was a lot.  I get it.  They didn't really explain all of that on the phone when I was scheduling it.

jewels there is no right or wrong answer to your dilemma really. I think you just need to make a decision and make your peace with it. There are pros and cons to both and at the end of the day, he won’t be graduating high school and having potty accidents. If you 100% think it’s a maturity thing and another year will make a difference, then wait. If there is a little part saying maybe something else is going on, I’d send him. The public school is going to pick up on that and get him the right services sooner than the daycare will and if he does need other services of some kind, the sooner the better.

jewels lots of great advice. I was old for my grade and liked it and have always like that my kids are older and had an extra year of true play in prek, caveat being that I was in a true play based school so he was just playing and didn't have any academic work that was too easy for him. N hasn't been in any school this year, so I def want her back in prek for an extra year before going to k (she doesn't make the cutoff, so a non-issue), she is so shy and timid lately, she needs to learn to be social again.

Long game/selfishly I would prefer an 18 year old year old going off to college than a 17 year old...I may be regretting that in a decade, but I kind of think of it as an extra year as a kid.

Does he have an opinion? Is he talking about going to k?

That moment when you carefully lay back an almost sleeping baby and your husbands feels the need to cough very loudly... you can guess who is up and hour later and who’s asleep 🤬.

jewels after everything that has been said in this thread, and the fact that his birthday is right before school starts, I would hold him back a year. It seems to me like he just needs a little more time to mature.

tgrimes how frustrating, I’m sorry.

nam2013 you should make your H put her back to sleep.

[trtlcrzy]

I went to work tonight, I’m feeling great honestly, but i sound like I’m talking with a mouth full of mush. Plus I kind of have a lisp. I just got done pumping and now I’m going to bed.

Just envisioning this makes me claustrophobic and freak out, so I get it!

[nam2013]

trtlcrzy i tried that, she woke at 11-1-3, at 3 I asked my h to sooth her, but it backfired, after that episode, I calmed her down and then he coughed...

Dh really does a lot, so I shouldn’t complain, but men i really wanted to kill him a little bit 😂.

[chrisy01]

Just catching up. I got sick again really early Tuesday morning and stayed home.

Sorry you're still not feeling well chrisy01. Hope you feel better soon.

[mention]tgrimes [/mention] I’m sorry he couldn’t sit still. I know when I got an mri they were able to project things in the machine to keep me distracted. Is that an option

[chrisy01]

[mention]inthekitty [/mention] poor Cass. Big hugs to her and you. It has to be hard on both of you.
