 I am a Catholic SAHM to two kids and three babies in Heaven. I like to write about Catholicism, homemaking, being a Mom, living with three mental disorders, and the like. (more?)

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. [...] 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 [...] 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 [...] Come apart into a desert place, and rest a little. ~ Mark 6:31 As I’m sure you’ve noticed, it’s been a few weeks since my last update. There have been some struggles in my life, to put it mildly. As one could expect, two back-to-back miscarriages caught with me, mentally [...] I am feeling worn out these days. Tomorrow is my post-op appointment with my doctor, and I’m ready to get the bloodwork going. We have a small list of possibilities for this miscarriage, and whether or not I have a bloodclotting disorder is next up on the chopping block. Maybe it’s the nerd in [...] There was a post I had in Drafts, praying so hard it could see the light of the Internet. It could not. Not long after our miscarriage in May, we were cautiously excited to learn we were expecting again. Immediate bloodwork was done, progesterone was started. The betas were fabulous and I could stop [...] One good turn deserves another, right? Greg is now the newest victim of hand-foot-mouth disease. He says his hands are burning with the rash, he has it all over his face, general fatigue, and just overall feeling yucky. He also had a high fever (100*F, for the man who runs around 97*, that’s pretty [...] I don’t like writing this post. In a sense, though; I am relieved to be writing this post. Unless something changes, we most likely lost the baby. I started doing more than just bleed late this afternoon. The irony is that my progesterone was low. I had the bottle of progesterone in my hand. [...] Okay, so I had all these great ideas for writing this post. In fact, I started hinting about it – that’s what those two medical appointments are about. Obstetrical appointments. BABY APPOINTMENTS!! Any and all posts I had written in my head disappeared this afternoon, when I began spotting. And not ‘old blood’ spotting, [...] Our plans: Lent Chain: I cut 40 strips of paper, and wrote two ideas on each strip. One hard idea (for Greg and me) and an easy one (for Elise). (since I hung it up in the kitchen, both kids love looking at it while we eat ) It also doubles as a countdown, [...] |
