Morning! I just made egg roll in a bowl and am eating it for breakfast. Picking up A soon, taking him for a haircut and taking my car in for some maintenance. Exciting day over here.

Cadence is hanging at the office with me today. She chose the office over FIL's house. Can't say I blame her.

I want your breakfast. Last night I made a sort of chipotle bowl and I will make another for lunch. I would have had it for breakfast if I didn’t have to prep everything again.

Morning.
Took M2 for his flu shot and he did better than I expected. He did yell out when the nurse stuck him, but no tears, so I’ll take it.
I got called off of work again this week. 🙄 So today I’ll be packing and prepping for our road trip down to ATL. We decided to leave tomorrow since I don’t have to work. I just hope we don’t hit tons of traffic.

I'm annoyed with MH. He put Pentatonix on the banned-in-his-presence list. *scoffs* During the holiday season, no less. I've perma-banned him from playing Jethro Tull in my presence (cannot stand those Ren-fair wannabe flutists) so he counter-banned. Hmph.

tgrimes How is it going with your mom? I spent the night with her. This morning PT & OT came in. They got her to stand and sit on a potty. She’s not allowed to put wait on her leg yet. They’re recommending a rehab facility when she’s released. She was in a lot of pain and almost passed out because her blood pressure dropped so low. My sister is on her way here and I’ll go to her house.

You are a good daughter tgrimes. Hopefully she's being a good patient. chrisy01 OMG, you all deserve lots of ice cream for walking 4 miles. I don't think Evie would be able to make it that far!

E will be in her stroller that I’ll push. L walks around 5 miles or more when we spend the whole day at a theme park so we should be good. Drinks and snacks will come with.

I will now be making a cranberry apple pie along with the sides for Thanksgiving. My brother is doing the turkey and the pumpkin pie. My mom was originally going to do the pies, but this new med she is taking for seizures is basically sedating her to the point of being non-functional. It's not ok. lfig have you ever heard of valproic acid?

I've never had them complain about it being that sedating though. I'm guessing the therapeutic dose for BPD is probably lower than for seizure management. Either way, the top range is 100 mcg/mL. Do you know how much she is taking? Maybe she can ask her doctor to reduce the dosage.

C got the side of his finger cut accidentally by a friend at school. I was in the middle of therapy and ran out to get him to see if he needed stitches. He doesn’t and they were able to steri strip it. He apparently gets squeamish and almost threw up looking at it. I’m sure it hurts pretty bad too.
While I was out I had someone come to buy a dog crate I was selling. Obviously I wasn’t home and completely forgot about it. He waited around for a bit too. 😞
Dh is working late tonight so I’m looking at cereal, reading, and an early bedtime for myself.

Sooo ds’ teacher tested positive for Covid, she hasn’t been in school since her contact with someone with the virus, so we’re in the clear there. But dd’s most likely will test positive too, she got sick on Sunday and was at school on Friday... Which would mean dd ‘quarantine time’ would be over tomorrow... No school for both of them tomorrow & they’re speaking about a complete lockdown including school starting next week…
How the heck are we going to handle this again. At least last time dd2 was so small that as long as she was in a carrier she was content… our at home office is next to dd2 bedroom, so dh can’t teach there when she naps and I cannot make calls, so this is going to be fun!
And I cannot even drink caffeine or more than one glass of whine, send help please!

I do know that sometimes it takes a few weeks for the meds to level out and your body to adjust. So hopefully that will get better for her. If not, there’s no shame in asking to try something else. There are tons of options. All with different side effects. But you may trade off one side effect for something else. Is she still having seizures or was it just the one incident?

It was just 2 in the hospital and nothing since then. I don't think she has a seizure disorder and it was a reaction to something they did while there. But, I'm not a doctor, so I could very easily be wrong in that.
