My ex (my sons father) lives over 200 miles away. Wish

he would take a bigger part in this...

But when I called him about our sons condition on my

way to the hospital he said call me when you get

there.. At that point we knew it was over 400 because

it wouldn'r register at the doctor's office.

When we got to the ER it was 770, I called his dad

immediately and he said " he'll be fine " and that he

was getting rhinoplasty(nose job) the next day and

that he couldn't be there for his son who I was told

could slip into a diabetic coma or could have brain

swelling.. Even after I told him this he still did not

come to be with hs son. A doctor not with any

reasonable bedside manner told me to be prepared that

my son may possibly DIE. AT that point alone with my

son in the ER while he slept from the effects of

Demorrol I sobbed great big tears, and start thinking

of how I was mean to my son last week.. That I nag too

much to clean his room and do his homework and

everything that you think of when you may possibly

lose someone in your life that is very close to you

just swelled up within me....... (I'm sure many of you

have felt this before-since we are all here for

similiar reasons)I am greatful and thankful that he is

alive and at the same time I am saying the why's.. why

him? why us?.... why now?...... Which of course won't

be answered.. My son, he is my " healthy child " , rarely

sick or ill...... never or rarely a complaint.. such a

great kid who is now T1 diabetic.. We had a CT done

and thankfully it came back normal.. thank god....

Two days later 11-11, while my son was in ICU, my ex

called the police and had them call me at the hospital

to ask me why I was leaving my almost 13 year old

daughter home with her 9 year old and 8 month old

brother.. (Did I say my ex was great guy or what?)

The fact was I told the police that my daughter is a

very skilled babysitter and has taken care of her baby

brother on many occassions. as well as babysitting for

neighbors and friends, and if the Officer wanted the

phone numbers of all those people that she has babysat

for as well.. That she knows basic first aid, how to

dial 911 in case of emergency, change diapers, make

bottoels and cereal and warm up food, has a personal

phone book of numbers of people to call in case she

needs too, adn that she watches my neighbors kids, who

also happens to be on the Ventura Police Dept. and

works in Dispatch, of course the officer that called

new my neighbor, checked it out with him and

apologised for the call and said he would not be going

out to my home and that they would make a note on the

call log that my Ex(my son's father was trying to

cause trouble for our little family.

When I spoke with my ex I said " thanks for calling the

Police and possibly having my baby boy taken to foster

care " ... His repsonse was " your welcome " He said " our

daughter shouldn't be caring for 'your' baby! " ..

(Note*the baby is with a current realtionship- and his

daddy was working-someone had to continue making some

money as I took the entire week off from work)

anyways.. so he said your welcome and then I said..

You know I would love to be at home with my other 3

children, but since you are so busy having rhinoplasty

instead of being here when your son truly needs you

more, I have to be here at the hospital and Our

daughter has to do her part too.. Since you have

failed to do yours! "

Anyways..... this is just a sampling iof what I

experience all the time.. with my ex..

HE is on his second divorce at this time and has a

current new girlfriend (who needs to keep her

homeopathic stuff away for now while my son is coping

and learning how to be a disciplined CWD.

So far with my help he is doing fabulous.. I spoke

with a social worker and she told me to document every

incident that My son comes back with high/or too low

BG. and to call them if it is gets to high/low so that

they can get some deuctaion to my ex and his family.

I think everything right now for my little family and

I is so overwhelming and I just wnat to make sure my

son is safe now..

Like for instance instead of him walking the ten

blocks he use to wlk to the school bus stop, I have

been driving him and o course my daughter as well and

I have been picking them up at school as well instead

of having them walk home... Thankfully I am able to

do this. and for the time being this is the way things

will be .. I called his school yesterday 4 times to

make sure he was ok.. and that his BG levels we're

good... He left his lunch int he Car! but he got a

lunch at school and the school nrse who also has

diabetes checked out and said he made good choices...

Turkey sandwhich a small apple, low fat milk.

anyways I can go one forever......

thanks for letting me vent and talk..

This makes me sick, maybe a five knuckle rinoplasty would wake him up

he only cares about himself, a rinoplasty?! vain and an a*****e 200

miles is not far enough, lets all take a collection and pay off the

dr. to do something more creative, stay strong, stay focused, I'll be

angry enough for both of us....
