Good gracious! Golly geez!

Gavin had his follow-up appointment with Dr. Brown in Hudson this morning. We are going to hold off on changing his seizure medication for now because he doesn’t want to “muddy the waters” while we are working towards Gavin’s official dysautonomia diagnosis. Other than that, it was pretty calm [...]
Where Everybody Knows Your Name
0May 14, 2012
I had to run through the drive-thru at the bank today on my way to see Casey, my migraine neurologists Physician’s Assistant. I made my deposit. Then the bank teller sent the envelope back with my driver’s license and my receipt. That’s when I realized that I’ve probably been making a lot of my [...]

Good to be home, I think.
This week I was home from the hospital, for the entire week, finally, after having spent 5 of the 7 days of the week before at Akron Children’s Hospital with my oldest son, Gavin.
Monday through Wednesday we were there for his 48 hour VEEG. (I don’t know how those “Dr. [...]
Poetry Corner: One decade of a broken heart
2May 11, 2012
One Decade
Ten years ago today
One phone call
Shattered my heart
Threw my world completely off balance.
From that moment on
One week
Seven very long days
Lost within my own mind.
I didn’t eat
I didn’t sleep
Only a coma-like state
Between asleep and awake.
Every breath I took
Agonizing
Every thought [...]
What to Expect When You’re Expecting
0
I remember when I found out I was pregnant with Gavin, I knew exactly where I should turn for information.
What to Expect When You’re Expecting
Yet, at the same time, I was terrified. What if it didn’t apply to me? After all I was an unwed 19 year-old mother-to-be, what if they knew and the [...]

48 hour VEEG: Gavin: The Homestretch
0May 2, 2012
It is T-minus 2 hours to discharge! Woo who! I love Akron Children’s Hospital and the many doctors and nurses we have here but my body is rebelling against this stay in a major way. (But that’s a different post.)
Here’s the run down of Gavin’s stay:
• 44 – hours we’ve been here so far
• 46 – hours [...]
Dear mutinous body of mine,
0May 1, 2012
Granted, 48 hours in the hospital as an observer is hard on the strongest of individuals (how these parents do it for 10 days I hope to never find out) and physically speaking, we are not the strongest of individuals but do you really hate me this much?
The migraine was bad enough. It still is, [...]
Effin migraines
0May 1, 2012
Dear migraines,
I hate you on regular, average days. I hate that Uncle Sam says I can work through you (I can’t). I hate how much you hurt (since pain isn’t my “thing”). I hate how sick you make me. I hate how much of my own life I miss because of you. Never mind how much of the Boys’ lives I [...]
