So, seems as if I am sitting here spending another night on.....what else??? The DIS.
This obsession really needs to stop. Really, truly it does.
I did manage to get myself up and out the door this morning while Brigge was at school. Hit the old Wally World and feel good about the fact that I got the kids Easter gifts out of the way!! Oh, and I got a pair of shorts for Brigge and some swim diapers!!
What????? Its a start, right???
I know, I know!! Terrible.
I realized that I had written that Brigge's pulmonary appointment was yesterday, but it was actually today. So I picked up the little chatterbox from school and headed into Boston. Her appointment was at 12:45...we were seen promptly. Spent 3 hours in the room with her doctor. Yes, THREE hours
.
Perfect timing for rush hour traffic heading north back to NH.
I should be grateful we got alot accomplished. She's going to have another sleep study and an exercise induced stress test. Yes, on a 3 year old. The oxygenation in her lungs is really bad. We know she shunts due to her cardiac defects. Her ASD was left open as a pop off valve so to lessen the stress on her overworked right ventricle. Soooooo.......it causes her to be somewhat dusky and short of breath, especially during exercise. Nothing we didn't know about. The problem is being exasperated because she is still aspirating. We think it is because of the cleft that was left unrepaired due to a laryngospasm she had during the case and the surgery was cancelled. Got to figure out this now too. Her chest xrays are looking worse each time she has one. Again, nothing new, just stuff that hasn't been dealt with because of all the other stuff that has been going on. Just can't avoid it anymore.
I got a very nice email the other day from MCAZER who so graciously offered to send the kids autograph books. After literally spending two hours with them trying to pick out what the wanted, they made their choices!!! The package came today, but nobody was allowed to open them.
The package is sitting on the buffet just waiting to be opened by those bad, bad kids!!!
Seems as if the little feet in this house think that the days of listening to mom and dad are over and they can abide by their own rules.
So, Margaret, I PROMISE as soon as they can behave, I will post pictures of the contents. Tonight, I have been dubbed "THE MEANEST MOTHER IN THE WHOLE WORLD"!!
Apparently they haven't realized how to win over my affection and those words aren't getting them their package any quicker.
Ok, gotta go make myself another
and do some more
and after that, some more
. Sooner or later I will get some packing done!!!!!
Just not tonight, and probably not tomorrow. Definitely not this weekend!! Maybe next week???
