A lot has happened today. So here are the cliffnotes. Basically Lizze had an appointment with one of her neurologists today (sleep specialist). We were discussing what we had going on and what Lizze was experiencing. He still says no narcolepsy. We got on the topic of the new psychiatrist and meds. He said she should not have put Lizze on these meds. It also turns out that you shouldn't mix Paxil and abilify. So he has contacted the psychiatrist and is going to find out what she was thinking. Anyway, I expressed concern over the risk of blood clotts with her current condition. He checked her legs over right away and that's when he found whatever is going on with her leg. Although luckily it turned out to be…

Everything checked out ok. They don't know what is going on but her perfusion is ok. So now we wait. Thank you so much for your prayers....... Posted from WordPress for Android

We got to Aultman and we were driven to vascular on this golf cart type thing. They got us back right away.  I am just sitting in the room while they do this...... Posted from WordPress for Android

We were at Lizzes neurologist today and they think they found a blood clot in her left leg. They cut the appointment off and sent her us to the Hospital for an ultra sound. She has a histroy of dvt's so this is pretty scary. She was pregnant with Elliott at the time so they couldn't treat it. She was hospitalized for almost 2 weeks. I had expressed concern about the lack of mobility and her history. They were concerned as well. They didn't know she had that history. So they examined her and felt behind her left knee and she shot up out of her chair. The pulses are different as well. We are currently waiting for her ultra sound and we are about an hour out. Please say…

Lizzie slept about 20 hours today. The back injury that ended my fire fighting career has reared its ugly and very painful head again. I was thinking about it today and realized something. For the last 10 years I have been dealing with the constant back pain everyone always teased me cause I pace constantly. I always thought it nervous energy or something. But today I realized it was my body trying to fix itself. In the past 10 years I have not had a minute pain free. Then about 7 months ago I started walking and got up to 30 miles a week. I was pain free for the first time is 10 years. Then things got worse here and I haven't bee able to walk in almost 3…

I don't think it's a secret that I'm struggling with everything. I know that I don't always look that good. I know I make lots of mistakes and I am far from perfect. I decided when started this blog that I would be honest even at the risk of looking bad. I could tell you that this is all a walk in the park and I'm taking it in stride. I could say I not frustrated and overwhelmed. I could pretend that I stronger then I really am and play the hero. The problem with that is it's not even close to the truth. The truth is I'm buried. I'm in excruciating pain all the time again. The truth is that I'm overwhelmed and frustrated beyond what my words can…
