Guest guest Posted July 30, 2002 Report Share Posted July 30, 2002 Breathe Riza! Sorry everything is coming down at the same time! But really happy for you that DH is OK. Your right, that is the important thing -- update Hi all, sorry been out of action. OH, and Sorry about missing the weekly challenge too...hope it's ok if we resume next week. Am on no mail right now and probably will be for the next 2 weeks. Anyway, crazy week so far. DH was in an auto accident yesterday and his car was totalled...he's ok though so that's what's important. Besides that, our escrow is supposed to close today but there are some problems!!! Have been frantically calling insurance company to get a policy on the new home because a clerical error on their part is holding up the closing...argh!!!! Plus, they need MORE documents relating to the gift check that we received from 's parents...WHY NOW?!!! Now we have to run around town getting documents and statements, etc. and try to get it there before 3:00 in the afternoon. Plus have to deal with a wrecked car and have only 1 car between us and we work in opposites ends of town...actually, not even in the same town!!! So nervous and on edge that haven't eaten aything all day except a doughnut here at work (that's all that was available and I didn't have time to plan...) Please send good vibes this way...I NEED THEM! LOl! Will let y'all know once everything's settled down and hopefully we'll get those darn keys to the new house tomorrow! -riza Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted July 30, 2002 Report Share Posted July 30, 2002 Riza *hugs* So sorry about DH(and the car) but he is alright so praise the Lord for that!! Cars can be replaced, but he can't so count your blessings!! Don't worry- it will resolve itself . I know the stress you are under with the house- we went through something similar 12 yrs ago when we moved from our last home to this one. We had a gift check situation too, but other than my dad having to sign a statement saying it was a gift and supplying them with access to his bank acct (to verify the funds) I guess that was all we encountered. Unfortunately we had to have our realtor BUY OUR HOUSE that we were selling because the sale of our old house fell through( buyers didn't qualify) and here we were 10 days before closing with no one to buy our place so that we could move into our new home AAGGHH!! What stress! I remember it like it was yesterday! Fortunately our realtor was a gem of a woman who had the $$ to buy it from us and resold it a month later. Well, good luck, this too shall pass( my mom's favorite saying) Caren ><(((*> > Hi all, > > sorry been out of action.

Guest guest Posted July 31, 2002 Report Share Posted July 31, 2002 OMG!!! I am so sorry to hear about dh's accident, but at least he wasn't hurt!!!!

Guest guest Posted August 5, 2002 Report Share Posted August 5, 2002 Hello everyone! thought I would try to take a minute and give you all and update. MIL seems to be responding very well to the Chemo. They say that it has already started to kill some of the leukemia cells, which is very good news. the fact that they found it so soon is to her advantage. She did not have this 4 months ago. She's been on the chemo only about three days and seems in good spirits. She is laying in her bed like a queen and soaking up all the attention DH is giving her. (he is def. a momma's boy, she spoils him terribly). Well I have gained about 8 pounds since going on the cruise and this with MIL. I thought I had gotten a hold of the " frustration eating " Guess Not! LOL! I have been soooo good today (it is only 2:00 in the afternoon) but have great intentions! I have journaled everything and am drinking my water which I have not done lately. Anyway, I miss you all and will try to keep checking in when I can. I will be on for about another 30 min then I'm off again! Miss you all, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 5, 2002 Report Share Posted August 5, 2002 Glad to hear MIL is doing well with her chemo. I will continue to keep her and the rest of your family in my prayers. Don't worry about the 8 pounds. It'll come back off. I know it will! Take care of yourself and give updates as you can.

Guest guest Posted August 5, 2002 Report Share Posted August 5, 2002 Hi ! Glad to hear that your MIL is doing so well. Just FYI...I have a niece that was diagnosed with leukemia when she was tiny (maybe around 3 years old) and she had to go through all the chemo, etc. She is now 30 years old married and has two little girls with no trace of the leukemia. Trust in the LORD and miracles do happen!! Don't worry about the gain! I have faith in you that it will come off again once things settle down! You have already proven that you can do it!

Guest guest Posted March 4, 2003 Report Share Posted March 4, 2003 Hi Deb! Sorry to hear about 's illness. As you know, we have been thru the aspiration pneumonia issue with Chelsea over and over! What you described with is similar to what has been observed in Chelsea. She starts to become less and less responsive the sicker she gets, this is also apparent with her O2 sats. The lower she drops, the more out of it she is. Also, breathing becomes difficult and will suck all her energy so she just sleeps and becomes very hard to arouse. I donot know anything about the other condition, but this is what my handy dandy Mosby's Medical Dictionary has to say: atelectasis. . . an abnormal condition characterized by the collapse of the alveoli, preventing the respiratory exchange of carbon dioxide and oxygen in a part of the lungs. Symptoms may include diminished breath sounds, a midiastinal shift toward the side of the collapse, fever, and increasing dyspnea. As the remaining portions of the lungs hyperinflate, oxygen saturation of the blood is often nearly normal. The condition may be caused by the obstruction if the major airways and bronchioles, by compression of the lung as a result of fluid or air in the pleural space, or from pressure from a tumor outside the lung. Loss of functional lung tissue may cause a secondarily increased heart rate. Secretions retained in the collapsed alveoli are rich in nutrients for bacterial growth, a condition often leading to stasis pneumonia in critically ill patients. . . . I hope you find the cause of these recent issues, this is not a fun guessing game! I will keep in my prayers, that he gets better soon! e, Chelsea's mom (nonspecific mito) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted March 4, 2003 Report Share Posted March 4, 2003 Deb, son has had both. He has a tendancy to get analectosis after anesthesia because he doesn't take deep breaths to clear the anesthesia out of the bases of his lungs. I don't know if there is any other cause of it. In his case the anelactesis led to peumonia. Now on the pneumonia side we have had both aspiration and bacterial pneumonia and in both cases he had a sudden onset. In fact, on one occasion he was at the ped on Wed and his lungs were clear and by Friday they were both full of junk. I never would have known it as he was punky but not coughing as much as I would have thought and his temp was not terribly high. Hope this helps Laurel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted March 5, 2003 Report Share Posted March 5, 2003 Deb, I'm sorry to hear about . I saw you got some good informative responses. I just thought I would chime in as well...I work in a NICU and atelectasis, better known as collapsed lung is somewhat common in pre-term babies, also in babies with meconium aspiration pneumonia. I know these don't directly apply to since he is not a newborn, but it does seem as if the two atelectasis and pneumonia can be related. Hope things are doing better.
