Life

It’s long, but because I write about everything and every one else…here I go

Its noon and I’m still in my pajamas. Yesterday I stopped at Tom’s school while there I notice his finger nails were pale in color. He seemed fine, but when I left school, I gave him a kiss and said “you better not be getting sick.”
Yesterday evening about 7 it started. First it was Tom just fussing. By 9 he cried, by 10 it was crying uncontrollable that his breathing was funny. Everyone was up and out of bed and NOTHING worked in trying to comfort him. Adult strength Tylenol that usually knocks him out; did little for him. He didn’t have a fever.
We were very concerned about Tom and thought about taking him to the hospital, especially with his funny breathing during persistently and uncontrollable crying spells. It was obvious something was wrong, but what?? In the past when Thomas has cried in pain like this; we have taken him to the hospital. Being that Tom doesn’t talk and can’t point to where it hurts. The doctor’s look to us for the answers, for his blood work and x-rays don’t show where the problem is. At the hospital we end up just loosing time, money, and getting no help for Tom. That is cause us more stress and anxiety than just trying different things with him at home.
Mark and Don when to bed with their doors closed and the TV on to drown out the noise. At 4 Tom was settling down and I went to bed. Don and Mark got up. Little by little Tom quieted down and for the moment he is resting
We have one young adult for sale! Thomas John will be 22 years old on Saturday and today we will gladly donate him to you.
The rest of the story…Don is having a heart test on Friday, so as of noon yesterday; it’s no caffeine until after the test. With not much sleep last night and getting up early today I know he wants coffee.
Most of you know that Laura was born with 3 kidneys. She has a normal kidney on the right and two smaller kidneys on the left side, one above the other. Twice now I have had blood in my urine. (Can’t see it, just told it was there) Yesterday I had an ultrasound done on my kidneys I was told the test would take a half hour but I was in and out of there in no time. Hoping that’s a good sign. I only have 2 kidneys. I was disappointed.
