A new start for Iwan

Oh Iwan!!!

HUGS to the both of you!!

And you weren't THERE - it wasn't YOU! You need to wrap your head around some other thoughts - because you aren't the root cause of all that ails EVERYONE!

I so hope they're able to find out what caused this - you guys are in my thoughts!
 
Alright, I was up all night with my hurting child and my horrible cold. My son pretty much slept all afternoon after the doc gave him pain meds so he was wide awake till about 4am. I have the worst sinus headache, sore throat and hacking cough, I just want to lie down and die (yeah, I'm a drama queen...so what, its not like I haven't warned you all!). I finally got my son to sleep by giving him tylenol with codein. Yeah for opiates!
I had a horrible calorie day yesterday, I know I'm PMSing, I feel bloated and I feel like I should weigh about 195 but I weighed in this am back down at 189. I just couldn't stop eating yesterday. I made mostly healthy choices, but really I probably ate like, 1600-1700 cals. I managed to steer clear of the chocolate for *most* of the night. But its hard not to munch when your exhausted and you can't go to sleep because a little creatin is laying on the couch whining for you to change the dvd, or turn up the heat, or turn it down, or carry him to the bathroom...
I'm all blurry eyed right now. Don't know if I'm coming or going. I think I'm going to go shop online for new jeans.
 
Okay, just talked to the bone specialist and he wants my son in anchorage for a bone density test and a bone marrow biopsy. He says he has concerns but not to worry...yeah right. So I guess our weekend is going to be spent in anchorage at the doctors. upside...walmart!
 
Wow... you have so much going on right now.

I hope everything turns out to be alright with your son. Good Luck this weekend. I also hope you start to feel better. :)

Have fun at wal-mart!
 
Okay, I'm checking in really quickly before we get on a plane for anchorage. I'm back down to 189, but still no period...its late. I'm freakin sick with a head/chest cold. My chest hurts so bad right now, I am not looking forward to a 3 hour plane ride.
I barley got any sleep last night, but I got to watch 4 straight hours of House md while doing laundry and packing...yeah. My son's sleep schedule is all screwed up. Anyways, I'm off, we'll be flying back in on sunday evening so I'll check in again then.
 
hope all goes well in anchorage Iwan... have a safe trip. Beware of walmart though... a lot of walmart shoppers can't drive shopping carts at all... they piss me off lol
 
Howdy iwan,
Awwww I am so sorry about your little boy,I tell you what I feel like when it rains it pours! I am sure things will start looking up! I am sorry
your sick that puts a damper on trying to exersice,I hope you and your son
get well,Tammy
 
We are back! I'm so glad to be home. I hate the city! I hate traffic, shopping, hospitals, hotels and airports. I hate restaurant food! I gained 2 lbs being in anchorage! But, there is nothing wrong with my son, save the fractured hip which the specialist said the only way it could have broken like that, stress fracture was for someone heavy to have jumped or stood on him so his teacher is being talked to by the school principal today about the situation. It had to have happened at school and didn't bother him till the inflamation made his joint stiff over an hour later.
The bone marrow biopsy was fine, and we found out he's an exact match for my aunt who is probably going to need a doner very soon, which is good, his great aunt will be forced to love him forever. And he can save her life.
I didnt do any working out this weekend, unless you count to and fro from many places. Stopped by Walmart very briefly to get some things I forgot to pack (toothbrushes and hair mouse...very important).
And I'm back at work this morning despite the fact that I've progressed from a simple upper respritory infection to broncchitis since friday morning. I had to come to the office, my excuse is that my amarillis is going to bloom and I have to see it! Anyways, I havn't eaten anything yet today, but I've had a lot of water and tea...does that count? I had a latte, that counts. I'm rambling, I'll go now. I have peeps to check in on.
 
Iwan,
I am *SO* glad your son is going to be fine!! What a huge relief, both for that information and for the fact that he can help his great aunt! Good, good news!

You take care and I hope you get well SOON!
 
Looks like I am going to have to read back some. I didn't know anything was the matter with your son. But I am glad to hear things are better!!:)

being a bone marrow donor will probably be the most amazing experience of his life - it's not a fun process but knowing you saved someone else's life is incredible...
 
YAY IWAN I am so glad your son is OK!! And also YAY for saving
your aunt's life 2 great news for you! I hope you get over the nasty
bug you have,have a great day Tammy:)
 
The bone marrow harvest won't be too traumatizing for him, the biopsy wasn't too bad. He was under general anestesia but he wasn't scared going into it, was fine all the way through and afterwards he saw the size of the needle they used and was like, WOW, can I hold it?
My mom thinks that being a bone marrow doner would be traumatizing for him if my aunt didn't live through the process and the marrow didn't help her. Then he would feel a sense of failure and the loss would be so much more personal to him. I agree, but loss is something everybody deals with in life, I can't sheild him from that at the expense of my aunt, she has two young son's of her own who unfortunatly cannot donate, one is immuno-compromised (MS) and the other is adopted and doesn't match.
At any rate, in the end its going to be up to my son, even though he's 5 we can't force him to do anything involving his body that he doesn't want to do. Right now he wants to do it, but this will probably be down the road a few months yet. Its nice that my aunt and her doctors know that there is a match readily available for her if her chemo fails again.

what an amazing kid - I've done it twice - the first tme was for a buddies child -who was 5 at the time -and a year or two a go I had the priveledge of watching him graduate from college... that needle going in (no anesthetic) hurt like hell... the second time was for a stranger and I never wanted to know who it was for - just in case they didn't survive... and that hurt even worse because i knew what to expect.. :)

good for him though...
 
Good Morning... I'm so happy that your son is doing alright and is willing to help save your aunts life. He must be really amazing!

I hope you are feeling better today.

HAPPY TUESDAY! :)
