Life as of late has been like a whirling dervish. Up and down, round and round, can't tell if I am coming or going. And the weird thing is that the boys are in camp and I thought I'd have tons of time to do things, like sand drywall and paint. HA! As if! So this is what is keeping me busy:
Bugaboo's medical procedures. Got the results today: He has Esophagitis. Basically he has reflux, brought about by food allergies, which causes swelling of his esophagus. And it also causes stomach pain, diarrhea, mouth sores, heart burn, you name it. No wonder he doesn't want to eat! The poor kid is in miserable pain and his throat hurts all of the time. He also has tested positive for a wheat allergies. It isn't terrible severe, but it must be treated or else the stomach and bowel problems shall persist. I am relieved to get to the bottom of this FINALLY!!!
My visit with the Neurologist. We are trying to rule out a few conditions, namely; Multiple Sclerosis (MS), Fibromyalgia, Chronic Fatigue and Over-worked-and-Stressed-Out-Mommy-Syndrome. With a family history of MS, FMS and CFS, the doc is being very thorough. I had a brain MRI with and without contrast. Now I have to follow up with a cervicle and thoracic MRI, with and without contrast. Since my last MRI was such a joyous event (N.O.T!) I am looking forward to it like a trip to Tar-zhay. At least I get another 45 minutes of uninterrupted time to recline.
Housework and errands. I have been trying to keep up with just daily routines, but important phone calls and appointments have left me a teensy bit behind. With out-of-town guests due to arrive for two days, I want to at least make sure the sheets and towels are clean and that no one will be tempted to write their name in the dust on the television.
Therapy for the boys. Just today we had Bugaboo's TSS (Therapeutic Support Staff) start, the boys' Behavior Specialist was here and Bug Boy's Mobile Therapist came for his weekly visit. And this was after Bugaboo had school and camp, and Bug Boy went to camp. So it was a loooonnnggg busy day for both of them! No problems falling asleep tonight!
Sleep. Just kidding! Thought I'd throw that in there to see if y'all are paying attention! I haven't been getting much sleep due to Bugaboo's recent Night Terrors.
Migraines. See the visit to the Neuro above.
Everyday mundane tasks. You know, eating, breathing, showering. Since time is at a premium, I am being selective about how I spend my, ahem, leisure time. I have been trying to hit the Y in order to keep the body in shape. Weights are important for the above-mentioned conditions. And, I have developed a new obsession with the computer (like I need the computer to be MORE of a distraction!): Adobe Photoshop. Too much fun, and I am staying up past my bedtime.
Ok. My fifteen minutes are fare from over. If you don't know what I am talking about, click HERE.

Okay, #1) you certainly had fun adding links today! :)
#2) SO GLAD you got a diagnosis for your youngest!!!! Now what will they do about that?
Thank goodness Ian's tests had a result you can work with. I was worried that it would be for naught! I know that this is tough, but you are getting there!
I am a little more than worried about your tests, though. Please don't pull a "mom" and keep the rest of us in the dark :) Love Ya!
