| It's been a while and I need to update |
| 05.14.05 (12:37 pm) [edit] |
Well, DS#3 is doing quite well with his feet. He is getting more and more independant every day! He figured out how to go potty by himself and gets around easily considering he can't walk. I am having a difficult time keeping still, so that his feet and rest. He really needs them up so the sweeling can subside. NOT HAPPENING!!! I think I am going to go get some new toys and maybe bribe him. UUUGGG!!!
Tuesday is our first check up! I pray I did everything right to help him and didn't cause set backs. I doubt my ability constantly! It's a pretty details ritual every evening to do his feet.
OH, and my DH is leaving out of town on Monday at 3AM for a job. He worked nights for 4 months straight with NO days off! THEN, this week he had the entire week off...now out of town. Really...how much can one person handle?? My house is a disater zone. Maily because I'm chasing after and 3 yr old who is crawling ALL OVER THE PLACE!! Like a 9 month old on SPEED!
He is absolutely pitiful! We are spoiling him rotten. I hope we don't regret it later on. I just feel the need to pamper him and keep him pain free!!
Well, school is out in a few days. NINE more to be exact. I will be sooooo happy. I loved my little pre-k'ers! BUT, I love to sit at home and do nothing MORE!!
My 12 yr old is having a VERY hard time a school. We can't seem to get his meds right. His principal decided he is going to get hurt by other children because he eggs them on so much! Now he is in In School Supension till school is out. I didn't have a problem with that!BUT, that STUPID excuse for a man in the room has decided DS#1 can't handle being around ANY kids and everytime another student is sent to ISS DS has to go in the hall for the rest of the day. I was LIVID when I found this out. I ca;;ed the principal and they cannot arrange a homebound situation for him. SOO, I told him I will be bringing a medical release for school for 2 weeks out. Hence the end of the year. It is quite obvious he is not wanted ad I am the type of mom that WILL NOT have my babies where they are not wanted!
It's bad enough he can't get his meds right and is up and down up and down...now they have to throw him outside like a dog!! I WILL be calling the psychiatrist on Monday to get a note. Our reasoning will be that he is mentally unstable at this time. I sure hope I can pull this off. It breaks my heart to see my DS treated like that! I realize he irritates everyone. But my goodness, if I stuck every child that irritated me in the hall I would be a busy person. As teachers, we must GROW up and LEARN how to HELP the kids and figure out what works for BPOTH of you. He obviously doesn't give a rats ass!!!
OK, I'm done with that!! I hope to start posting more often, right now I need to tend to DS#3's feet!! Wish me luck!!

My 3 1/2 year old was playing outside and 6 yr old had rode his little tractor over to the neighbors yard. SO, of course 3 yr old went to get it. They had been playing over there for weeks now, as they just cleared it and it was like a GIANT sandbox! Anyway, the neighbors had piled up all the limbs in a big pile earlier this week and burned them. We 3 yr old went over there he burned his feet, BOTh very badly!!! It was not smoking and he had no idea that it would still be smoldering! I had no idea really and NEVER THOUGHT to tell them that it would be!! He came screaming and running to me and it took a while to figure out what the problem was. I thought at first he got into oil, as it was black in spots...then I thought he cut it as skin was distorted. THEN, DH saw our other child in the yard and realized quickly what happened! I rushed him to the bathroom and put him...clothes and all in cold water. THen got an ice chest and filled it with epson salt and cold water. My mom came and we took him to the ER. I drove 90 all the way and ran every red light I came to. It was horrifying!!His little feet were so burned. 90 % of both feet up to his ankles. and 1/2 of his soles are burned. They are 1st and 2nd degree burns, mostly second. It was HORRIBLE what they had to do in the ER. I had given him tylenol 3 before we left, so it helped.SOME! He slept through the night and really hasn't complained other than the fact that he can't walk. We got a stroller and he likes that. We will go to our pedi. tomorrow to change the dressings and get antibiotics. I can't believe this happened. I could just DIE!!! All I could do was scream with him. I couldn't take the pain away from my baby!! It was the most horrifying thing I have EVER been through and I've been through some crap!! SO, mom's hug hug hug your babies and let them know you love them! My love couldn't take his pain away, if I could have taken the burns, I would have!!! Anyway, I prayed deeply for relief for him last night and I truly believe God came down and soothed him!! He has no been bothered today much! We went to the park for Mother's day with my sisters and mom and we brought a blanket for him and he actually wanted to swing, and slide. My 12 yo niece had him on her lap and we caught them coming down. He is crawling a little bit, not too much. THis AM he walked into my room from the living room. On his heels, of coursr..no burns there. UUUGGG!! Anyway, gotta run! Just wanted to share my story and ask for prayers!!! My 3 yr old needs them!!

OK, so I found a new doctor. Supposedly the best in the business wihtin a 200 mile radius! So, I call and yes they can fit me in next Tuesday. SO, I find out shortly there-after that they do not take any insurance. It's a cash only thing because of the hassles of dealing with the insurance companies. UUUGGG!!! $300.00 by Tuesday...anyone want to make donations??LOL JEEZE!! Not sure how I can get that together!I'll give it a try. On top of the $300, I will get docked $150 for missing work. CRAP! Will it ever end. I am about to loose my DH over this crap. I just don't know how much longer I can take it. The strass is eating me alive. THEN TODAY, the school calls...my 6yo DS hit another kid and they need someone to go pick him up. UUUGGG!! I am really wanting to run and hide in the mountains! So, I sent my MIL up there to get him. She gave the principal a piece of her mind....as she always does..LOL She's good at that. Well, I go to pick him up and FIL meets me with our cell phone bill. My DH thought it would be a great idea to join up with them and do a family share thing!! I begged him not to! Well, our bill is $257.00!!! HUH???? We've NEVER paid over $60.00 ...ever!!! I think I am going to have a nervous breakdown! I just can't take all of this. I am not built that way. I am already on Wellbutrin for anxiety...etc. Maybe I need to double up...LOL Well, I'm not sounding ver positive am I. So far...I HATE insurance companies, doctors, and phone companies!! I'm sure there is more!!!Well, I am going to get a beer!!! Send me good vibes so I don't freak out!!!

Yesterday was SUPPOSED to be a good day for us! It was DS#1's first appt with a new psychiatrist! Well, after school I get the kids and my mom and we drive an hour and a half to get there. Walk in to a filthy office with STRANGE people in it. The receptionist says that my insurance company told her I have not met my deductible and I will have to pay her $175.00!! WHAT?? It's May and I have 3 kids, one who has been hospitalized TWO TIMES and has had SURGERY!!! I think I have have MORE than met my stupid deductible!!! I HATE BLUE CROSS BLUE SHIELD!!!!!!! I tried to call them and they said they closed 15 mitutes ago. I am sure that they woman onthe phone had a sweet little computer sitting there that she couold have looked it up on and she chose to be sarcastic and not help!!! UUUGGG!!! My DS NEEDS to change his meds in the worst way. He is on the verge of geting kicked out of school! I am so mad it's not even funny at this point. I slammed the phone down and said WHATEVER and stormed out like a heathen! The glass door almost broke and I wouldn't have cared!!LOL OK, I have a bit of a temper!! SO, we then decided to go to a book store and then to get my eyebrows waxed and a haircut. I felt a little better. I got home and had a HUGS bowl of dewberry pie and ice cream...YEP that did the trick!LOL UUG, I hate days like that!! When I got home at 8:00 I had to make decorations for the baseball float for the parade. GREAT!! Well, DH helped me cut out all the baseballs and I stamped all the kids names on them...DONE! Now what?? I guess today I will call the insurance company and staighten everything out and then find a better doctor. One with a little compasion! I just LOVE this wonderful disease called BIPOLAR!!! I feel like I am always on a wild goose chase..Whether it's for doctors, or medicines, or research, or to find a discipline technique that will work...it's always something. OH, and my parents are already wore out by him. It's only been like 4-5 days TOPS! Looks like he'll be home in a few days! My mom is being totally manipulated by him. My dad sees it and can't stop it! VICIOUS!! This is a VICIOUS disease!!!! I hope tomorrow will be a little more bland!!

| Great Day! |

It was a very calm day today! For a mother with a bipolar child this is always good news. As you know my bipolar child has moved to his grandmothers. I have spoken to him a couple times throughout the weekend and he was still very angry, very mean sounding. Well, last night he called and sounded much better. Sounded like the child I have known! Not like a mean/angry child!
Anyway, we got up yesterday and was late for church. Since this was to be our first visit to a new church this wasn't good. DH FLEW all the way there. We made it on time. I loved the little church. It was a very good sermon and very pleasant people. I plan on continuing there.
We then went to see DH's Granny. We stopped and got McD's and went on to Granny's. We stayed way longer than we had planned. She is 86 and was so glad to have company. She hated to see us go, but it was DH's first day off in 4 months and he needed to do things around the house.
When we got home, DH decided he wanted a dewberry pie. SO, my and the boys went an a berry hunt. DS#2 pooped out first and it left me and DS#3 to gather all the berries. It took about an hour to find 2 quarts of berries. I came in and washed them up and started cooking. OMGosh!!! This turned out SOOOO good! I wish the internet could let you taste!!LOL It turned out really great!
Then I cooked supper. We all ate and the little ones got in the bath tub. When they finally got in the bed. Well, DS#3 decided to jomp on his bed AGAIN and broke it AGAIN!!! DH got on to him and fixed the bed. He hurt his feelings [pretty bad, maybe he will quit jumping on the bed!
DS#1 called from his Granny's and wanted me to know he built a incubator to hatch eggs in. SEE, he didn't need me to buy one. He was in a very good mood. I was glad. He will ride the bus to our home tomorrow and then we will go see his new doctor. I am very excited about that. He was curious as to what we were doing and I think he misses me!!hehehe!!
Then I went to scrapbook for a while and was actually very pleased with my work. I then went in with the boys and we all said our prayers. It was very sweet. DS#3 was repeating everything I said. Very cute! Then off to sleep! I also went to bed. DS slept on the couch watching movies.
It was a very good day, no fighting, no running hiding from me, no major problems. Just a fun day of church, Granny and berry hunting! We'll call it a success!
Till next time....
