Finally back - update on !

[Guest guest]

Well, I cant believe 's 2nd Christmas is here already - I wish I

was more prepared. I finally got my Christmas cards out, and

packages mailed today - Take note - it is already the 22nd UGH!

Anyway, I have been away from the forum for some time, things have

been crazy as usual and I miss the friendship and comfort I get from

speaking with everyone here!

is now 21months old - Wow - we will be celebrating my sweet

baby's 2nd birthday in just a few months! Hard to believe! The

holidays have come so fast that I don't know if I am coming or

going. was very very ill over Thanksgiving with a chest

infection and a fever of over 103.5! Unfortunately we ended up in

the hospital AGAIN - this was his 8th admission since birth, will it

ever end???

Well in March of 2005 we will be retesting his immune system, to see

if this horrible condition is going to be life long or just

transient. I haven't even kept in touch with any of his specialists

because I am so sick of dealing with the medical community in

general. His only real advocate is his PED, so we have been using

her when needed. He returns to the ENT in January, and then IMMUNO

in Feb. I SOOOOOO want this child to be well, but as usual with

another holiday approaching is showing signs of illness. His

congestion which has never resolved since September is worse than

ever and his nose is all " gunky " (Is this a word - HA HA ). The PED

said she would be available over the holiday if he starts to run a

temp. We are thinking this horrible chest congestion since

Thanksgiving might be resurfacing. WHO KNOWS! I have had it! –

Pray for us PLEASE!!!!

My father-in-law just came in for a visit, we get along really well,

but he has decided to stay 3 weeks! Our teenager just left this

morning to visit his mom in CA, and has decided he wants to stay

with her, because we expect too much of him - like making his bed

and making good grades - HA! Whatever...........

My family wants to visit for a few days after Xmas, and as much as I

would like to visit with them, I am SOOO tired between working 12-16

hour days, dealing with a sick baby, a DH, the house, bills, and

Xmas shopping, cooking, etc...that all I want is a vacation and a

quiet Christmas with ! Well, maybe I will be allowed to get 8

uninterrupted hours of sleep while they are here????

I actually have been so stressed out, that I went to my OB thinking

I might be PG, because I haven't had my monthly bill in over 3

months! He told me to get some blood drawn thinking it might be my

thyroid, and that was over 2 weeks ago, and I still haven't had time

to go to the lab! Oh well, sorry so long, and sorry to vent! I

miss talking to other mommies who truly understand how tired I am!

Well, that's all for now!

God Bless each and every one of your precious children and families

during this most wonderful Holiday Season and many blessings in the

coming Year!!!!!

Maybe my 2005 resolution will be to take time out for me and spend

more precious time with my sweet baby boy!

Blessing to All!
