Phew...crazy week!

Wow! Has this week been crazy and super draining! My daughter who has some sort of Crohns or bowel disease is medically homeschooled so I'm busy with dr appts. Well, Monday we saw a new GI Doc and I don't really like him. But, at this point I don't like any of them.
Well, I guess it's only fair to give some history. 2008 my daughter started having abdominal pain....after countless er visits the drs found nothing. Had a nuclear imaging of her gallbladder done and they found that it was only working at 20%...they had to remove it. June 2009 (yes it took that long to find) they removed it. We thought it was over...oh no! It just began. Since then my daughter has been admitted to 3 different hospitals in the OC area. 2 exploitory surgeries and seen countless drs. They still have no answers. And not to be graphic...her episodes are awful and very painful. This is why I don't trust drs. So, it was finally decided that she be placed in a home school program for kids with serious medical illnesses. Wow, this is serious. I cried, she cried more!

So this week has been busy. Not only with her but my 1yr old had surgery on wed. He WAS tongue tied. It was awful leading up to the day but I must say I was rather calm and I didn't cry once! He cried enough for us all! With all that going on we are all sick! Me, my daughters 15 & 5mo, and my sons 3 & 1. I hope next week will be less stressed and thanksgiving will run smooth...since I'm cooking...ha ha ha! But, with all this madness I'm still thankful for my life! It sure is crazy! I pray and my faith is strong. Things get better...I BELIEVE that!
On a happier note! Jersey is 5mo old! Yesterday!
