Still having stomach issues....

Unfortunately, still tummy aches. I will go in for an endo as soon as I get the consult with the GI dr. I hate to complain but I am very limited to what I can eat. Shawna did NOT go to her job ARGHHHH! I think she's sneak drinking spradically. She continues to go the AA mtgs. every day but according to Kirk she doesn't have the determination to stay away fro it completely. I put her on the prayer list at church yesterday. Lorri, thank's soooo much telling me about Brooke. Reece is still at St. Joes in the NICU but up to 4.5lbs. Still can't suck and breathe at the same time. He'll be 35 weeks on Friday. Lorri, I can't thank you enough for your prayers. I am a HUGE believer in the Power of Prayer. Hugs to YOU!!

Up North for the next 5 months!!

Yep! I have escaped the Phoenix heat. It is lovely up here and just soooo much cooler. I'm much better but on meds for my stomach. I really must learn to stay away from "beef" and it's my very fav. There's something????? in it that I just have difficulty digesting. Everything else seems to agree with me. My neice had her baby 9 weeks early and he was flown into St. Joseph's NICU. He was born May 1 and he's progessing but very slow. He now weighs 3lbs6ozs and is being fed thru a fed tube. He doesn't know how to suck yet. Unfortunately, she's not sure if any insurance will cover because this was a pre existing cond. within her probation hire time. It's very, very expensive. I read on the net it can be up to $100,000 a WEEK in the NICU. They are excellent and I do feel he's in the best place with the best care. Shawna got a job at Sam's Club, $11. per hour 22 hrs per week to start. YEAH!!!!!!!!!!! It will be very good for her. Scott's waiting for ins. approval to have his crumbly teeth extracted and new ones put in. He's really suffered with exposed nerves, toothaches, etc. I'll be thrilled when it's over. The llamas will go to pasture tomorrow up here. We take them to the same farm every year and they LOVE it. Looking forward to a great weekend with Lee.

Been sick ugh!

My stomach was funny during the day on Wed and by Thurs. nite. Lee took me to Scts. ER. I hadn't been able to even keep nausea med down. Man I was sick. Once they took my vitals, started an iv, i was shot with morphine and then thought I could walk on clouds LOL I had never had it before that I know. Then 4 injections to stop the vomiting, belly CT scan and cultures and blood workup. Hours later . . . . . . the dr. says I have diverticulitis (inflamm.of the intestines) and go to my PCP Mon. Soooooo will try to get in tomorrow and then will have to have a much dreaded endoscopy. I'm such a chicken and I just hate this kind of stuff. Must find out what is going on. This is my first day "out of bed". I have live on broth and popsicles and ginger ale. Far from 100% but at least comfortable enough to get to the tv room. UGH!!! I'll keep you posted.
