Monday is in here

[layloo]

aydee, so glad you heard from YH and he's okay.
Also glad your friend is okay, fierymama.

[layloo]

taketheshot, so I think our Hs are in cahoots. Seems like they get on the same helping/not helping cycle. Hugs lady. It sucks. MH basically did the same thing yours did. Then I yelled at him that I was going to throw his phone and tv out of the house.

Holding my breath.

Maybe it’ll work- *finger crossed*. Definitely don’t beat yourself over it, I know how frustrating it can be. Hopefully the school can get it to work, but if not, just wait until you can get a chewable or liquid. I’m sorry hun, hugs.

Glad he’s okay. A good friend of mine just posted that her gym buddy was shot in the stomach. She’s stable so it’ll be a while before they get her into an OR for surgery. My cousin lives in Vegas, I’m not sure how often he hangs out in the strip on school nights (he’s a teacher), but my Aunt hasn’t heard from him yet, so she’s a little freaked.
Edit- my cousin is okay. (Looking at his FB page I realized he spends a lot of time on the strip, but last night he was home.

Hi ladies! School is sucking the life out of me. I’ve been on the nursing floor for 2 days now and it is exhausting but amazing. I hope you’re all doing well.

[amberlie]

I’m disgusted by the events in LV. I’m glad your cousin is okay RunsforWineandCarbs. And everyone else with loved ones in that area.

On a similar note, I just got a threat activation text and email from my college. Shelter in place due to white male possibly carrying a rifle.

[RunsforWineandCarbs]

I really hope it's a false alarm amberlie!! Stay safe!!!

Well. What a farking weekend. First, the good. DH and I had an at home date night on Saturday night and it was lovely. We put the kids down and cooked a fancy meal together, drank some wine and reconnected. SO needed! I think we just need to make sure we're 'watering the garden' so to speak. So yay!

The bad. I received a call from my brother yesterday afternoon that my parents were in a bad car accident while they were driving in my dad's old Corvette. He's banged up a little, but my mom was in really bad shape. She was transferred to a trauma unit in Pittsburgh, and her neck has been fractured (random fact: I learned yesterday that a fracture is the same thing as a break. I always thought it was more mild, but apparently I was wrong. So understanding that my mom's neck was broken was hard AF). Last night the trauma team evaluated and decided that surgery wasn't necessary (thankfully)....But this morning I found out that they discovered a second neck injury. They're keeping her an additional day. She'll be in a neck brace for months and won't really be able to do anything (cook, clean, use stairs, etc). But I'm so, so glad she's going to be ok. My SIL sent me pics of the car and it's completely destroyed (who knew a '76 corvette wasn't built for safety?). I was able to talk to my mom this morning and it was such a relief. It could have been so much worse, ughhh...

[amberlie]

RunsforWineandCarbs thankfully I only go to campus on Thursdays for exams!

And anyway, everything is good. We got the all-clear text:

“MavAlert! UTA Police located subject and his Red Rider BB Gun. No threat to campus. Resume normal operations.”

[aydee]

jess213 I'm so sorry to hear about your mom. I'm glad she didn't need surgery but it sounds like it's going to be a long recovery. Sending T&P your way that everything goes smoothly from here and that she makes a full recovery.

[CestLaVie]

jess213, oh my goodness that sounds scary. I hope your doing ok. I am so glad she will be ok. And also happy that you and your DH reconnected - that can be so hard to do when everyone is always tired.

[RunsforWineandCarbs]

amberlie, glad you are safe...but i read that an automatically think, "you'll shoot your eye out"

[jedi]

jess213 wow that’s scary. Glad everyone is ok

[jedi]

School got him to take it. But they wrapped it around 3 crasins. They are pretty sure he didn’t chew it. But how can they know for sure? I’m anxious to talk to the doctor tomorrow. He also had no clue. The on call didn’t want to do anything (not surprised) but she suggested having Isaac spit out his food to
See how big it was and that he won’t choke because the pill is smaller than then the food. I see his backfiring and him not eating because he thinks food will now choke him

[RunsforWineandCarbs]

jedi, if you truly believe he can't master swallowing a pill - than be adamant tomorrow about a different medicine.

[Pizzaslut]

jess213, whoa how scary. I'm glad it is not more serious and that you were able to talk to her. FX she has a smooth and quick recovery.

She won’t have a problem doing something else but she really thinks this will work for him. And based on how he was yesterday I think it will too.

[jedi]

I went to the store for tic tacs and got a bunch of matchbox cars. I also got a blind bag which Isaac bugs me to get every time we go to store. We are going to
Try to practice. Wish us luck

[jedi]

Please send T&P to my cousins daughter (the ones that live in Vegas). Several of her classmates were shot and one of her teachers lost a child. She’s in high school. 😥

[layloo]

jess213, oh my goodness. So glad she will be okay but I cannot imagine that phone call. Hugs to you and you all as she recovers.
And yesss to reconnecting with YH!

[layloo]

jedi, so awful. I'll be thinking of them.

[jedi]

Isaac fell asleep on the bus.

[amberlie]

I’m so sorry about your parents’ accident jess213. I hope your mother has a smooth recovery.

[jedi]

taketheshot you may have said but did you guys ever talk about fil diagnosis?

[Pizzaslut]

Tomorrow is my first ultrasound so of course I'm a ball of nerves tonight. I haven't been sleeping well anyway so I'm sure tonight won't be any better.

In other news, J has slept until 7ish the last two nights without any middle of the night shenanigans. FX it keeps up (although I'm never hopefully for this).

[redandblue]

jess213 so sorry to hear about your parents. I can't imagine getting a phone call like that. I hope her recovery goes smoothly and that they both have all the help they need during this time.

Ehh not really... As we were leaving and saying our goodbyes, he just said he'll let us know when the next appointment gets made. We told him there is a great success rate and since it was caught early he should try to not worry too much (easier said than done I know). I think I'm going to email my MIL just to get more details of what the doctor actually said. Thank you for asking..

[redandblue]

jedi, sorry you're DS is having a hard time swallowing a pill. Try to be patient with him and yourself. I also would suggest trying not to 'over practice' the swallowing or making it an anxiety provoking event for him, as he may continue to refuse. If possible, try to stay calm and allow him some control over it. My mom still to this day has a horrible time swallowing pills. Hugs, I know it's a difficult place to be.

[redandblue]

So our house is officially listed for sale. I'm going to do my best to stay sane during this time, but I am doubtful that is possible! lol....I want to try to keep it as spotless as possible, which may be virtually impossible with a toddler and teenager (and husband for that matter). Thank goodness the dog doesn't shed! lol. We plan on having two open houses this weekend. Blah....I'm also having a hard time adjusting to not having someone making me drinks all day and relaxing by the pool....real life sucks some times! lol
