Thanks for all your prayers regarding Greg. We’ve been back home for a couple days, and he’s feeling loads better. The Neurosurgeon and his partner talked to us for an hour in the E.R. and eventually decided to adjust his shunt and admit him to the hospital overnight for observation (and to make sure [...]

Don’t worry, it’s all procedural. Greg’s shunt has been flaky, this time resulting in overpressure as opposed to under pressure. We’re in the E.R., waiting for The Neurosurgeon or his partner to show up and talk with us. It hasn’t been fun, after receiving some MAJOR attitude from some professionals outside the E.R. [...] I like to think I’m not totally insane for deciding that 0530 is a good time to wake up. In fact, I end up getting a lot accomplished. And, I’ve been faithful to that wake-up time for two weeks now. It hasn’t been easy – waking up early means going to bed early. It [...] While I may live in Podunkville, every now and then I get surprised as to what is found in my little town. The latest discovery is a specialist in the Third Diagnosis. I met with her last week and covered much ground. That meeting essentially confirmed what I had suspected – that the person [...] One of the biggest things I hate about having panic attacks is that when I have them, they absolutely wipe me out for at least half a week. I don’t know what it is but I have a heck of a time recovering from them. It’s not that I’m non-functional, I am; but I’m [...] Another reason why I love the New Year is that everyone gets all excited about goals and setting them and (hopefully) achieving them. Over the years I’ve become more focused with my goals, rather than the ambiguous ones (“pray more”) or the impossible ones. Goals not met are still good for me to experience, [...] One of the things I love about the New Year is that the blogosphere is abuzz with everyone’s favorite books from 2011, and their recommendations for books to read in 2012. Allow me to jump on the bandwagon. Last year I read 49 books. Which isn’t bad, considering if you look at my “Books [...] So, it’s Christmas. It’s been a fun Christmas, except for that dull ache inside me. It’s so hard not to have that ache, when the entire world is focused on the birth of an Infant. It’s hard not to think “boy, I would be 32 or 36 weeks pregnant right now … we would [...] After spending way too many months looking at Easter eggs (which are fitting for the Easter season … not Advent), I finally felt well enough to redesign the header for this little blog of mine. I’m pretty happy with it, and the quote from St. Alphonsus Liguori is especially fitting for me right now. [...] The other day, I had an epiphany. I’m sure I’m the last person on the planet to figure this out, but at least I figured it out. My problem was a simple one: why, despite having quiet time for the kids and myself; do I feel so burned out by the end of the [...] |
