Dani’s new support…

Well, not much news on my medical woes.  Another test was done today, so we start the waiting game to get the results.  I am taking a page from the book of Dani, because all my tests are either coming back normal or inconclusive.  I have good days then I have bad days.  So I just have to take day by day…

Dani meet a new person today.  There was a spot for Dani on the local chapter of Family Support.  Dani utilized the State chapter of Family Support.  There are more financial resources available for Dani by transferring to the local chapter.  The four main things we put as goals was: incontinence items, formula, hardwood floor (we would like to “wheel” Dani instead of caring the big lug everyone) and support for the girls and what they are dealing with.  I worry about how they will be affected by Dani.  I hope this will be a positive experience for them, but at times I fear it will be negative.  But today, today gave me hope for the girls.  Dani’s family support coordinator has a twin sister with brain damage and that lead to her career path to helping families with disabled children.  I hope this is the type of influence Dani will have on the girls.   

Surprisingly, not Dani going to the doctor…

Well, since Dani hasn’t hit our deductible for our insurance yet this year, so I decided to help out in that department.   And I am taking a page from Dani’s book and stumping the doctors.  For some reason, my “internal plumbing” stopped working.  After an all day (actually two separate visits) to the ER (Dani was quite ticked that she had to go with), x-rays, CT, and two more doctors visits this week, it is all still a mystery.  I have a GI doctor visit scheduled for next week.  One doctor seemed to think my body is in shock at the moment.  You see, I decided to get healthy in 2009, this seemed to be my first mistake.  First, I got off Mountain Dew, had the terrible headaches when doing this.  Then I joined The Family Wellness Center, I suffered through terrible shin splints, so bad in fact, my feet would fall asleep.  Then I have been eating healthier and every meal.  So when I told the doctor that I am just going to go back to being “fat and lazy” because I never had these problems before, they don’t think it is funny.  I do hope that they don’t find something serious or major with me because I don’t have the strength nor the energy to fight anything…

Dani, on the other hand, had a pretty good week.  She is tolerating the slow transition to Compleat.  This is very similar to her blenderized diet.  If she is good tomorrow, we have Abby’s birthday party to go to…
