How is your Monday going?

Lunchtime here on the West Coast - I'm getting crumbs on my keyboard having hummus and pita chips.

We spent Father's Day in the ER with my 3 year old - 5 stitches! Yup, her sister got 6 stitches just last month. I'm hoping our ER Trip maximum has been reached!

Tomorrow is the last day of 1st grade for my oldest daughter. I'm having anxiety about the summer - I don't want her reading, writing or math skills to take a dive so I'm going to set up a reward chart.

How is your Monday going?

Haylen sorry to hear your 3 yr old rec'd stitches yesterday.

Half my day today was spent in the ER. With my autonomic stuff going on I have a chronic dry cough that just won't let up no matter what. They even tried having me inhale lidocaine to numb the vocal cords - no relief.

I have been coughing so much I broke a blood vessel in my nose on Sat. and had 6 very bad nose bleeds. Being on blood thinners doesn't help.

So I had to go in because I hematologist said so. Of course it stopped by the time I got there. I have to be watched now.

Weather here has been in the 90's so I am in the house with the air on.
I shall wait upon the Lord and renew my strength.

Deb, how are you feeling today?

Will any of this affect your trip to Mayo? I hope not!

When do you leave?

Haylen thank for asking, I had 2 more bleeds last night and my hematologist told me to go see the ENT asap so that is Thurs. hopefully they can burn it to stop it. Today no bleeds so far.

Eveyone is still pushing me to go to Mayo even if this problem still is going on. They told me in the ER that the autonomic dysfunction is causing all this and more of my health issues. 1 more week and I am going. Nothing will stop me now.
I shall wait upon the Lord and renew my strength.

Oh wow...I'm sorry to hear that!

I am crossing my fingers for you that there are no more health issues until you leave. Will you have access to a computer when you are at Mayo? I'll be very interested to hear how everything is going there!
