One of my new favorite pictures

I'm always taking pictures and generally share them on Instagram. Every once in a while, I'll share the ones I really like, here on the blog. This is one such occasion. ☺ I took this the other day. I really like how it turned out and I enjoyed taking it in the first place. Ameture photography is something that has been really relaxing for me. I love trying to capture a singular moment and look back on it later. ☺ Please keep in mind that this is a very low-res version.

Mother's Day / My thoughts

What we’re doing for Mother’s Day this year

We're going to be celebrating Mother's Day a bit differently this year. My brother and sister-in-law, are having the family over for a cookout on Saturday evening. I'm pretty sure everyone is going to be there. It's not all that often that we all manage to be in the same place at the same time. I'm looking forward to going and I'm hoping the weather holds out.

Gavin / My thoughts

I hate putting Gavin through this

After taking the boys to school this morning, I'll take Gavin to get this week's bloodwork done. If you're not already aware, Gavin needs weekly bloodwork in order to get one of his medications refilled. It's a huge PITA but it's a safety thing and since we don't want anything bad to happen to Gavin, we make this happen every seven days. It sucks having to put Gavin through this so often but we don't have a choice. He's also going to need his IVIG infusion as well. Assuming everything goes perfectly, he will only have to endure three needle sticks. After that, I hope to sneak a walk in before a conference call at noon. Outside of those things, it should be a relatively quiet day. I'd like to…

Akron Children's Hospital / Autonomic Disorder / Gastroenterology / Gavin / My thoughts

Fingers crossed and prayers sent

This is take two for this post cause the first one glitched out and disappeared. I'm gonna try to reproduce it as best I can. I played phone tag with Akron Children's Hospital today. I called this morning to get the results of Gavin's labs from last week and it turns out, they never received the results. We went back and forth a couple times but finally connected in the late afternoon. The nurse had managed to get the results and it turns out Gavin's labs came back normal. I love hearing those words in the same sentence when referring to Gavin. That was good news and it meant that we could move forward with his endoscopy. She went over the intake questions and when we hit the one about…

Akron Children's Hospital / Gastroenterology / Gavin / My thoughts

Anxiously awaiting Gavin’s test results

I just left a message with Gavin's Gastroenterologist at Akron Children's Hospital. We're supposed to call towards the end of this week to get the results of Gavin's labs from last week. We're looking for his ANC or Absolute Neutrophil Count. If his numbers are high enough, they will schedule the testing that needs to be done. If his numbers are low, which they have been for the last year or so, they will not be able to go forward with the testing he needs to have done. I'm nervous about getting this returned call because so much hinges on it.

My thoughts

I slept through the night

I actually slept pretty good last night. For the last week or so, I've been struggling to sleep. I'm not sure what the deal is but bedtime has been rough. I feel great this morning and I'll probably try to sneak a workout in. There isn't anything that we really have to do today and I'm okay with that. I'm hoping to get some writing done and maybe get some work done around the house.

Confessions / Depression Management / My thoughts

Major Update: The State of my Depression

It's been awhile since I opened up about my Depression and how I'm doing since discontinuing Paxil. It's been six months since I began the process of weaning off of Paxil. I never imagined it would as bad as it has been. No one ever warned me that Paxil.has such serious withdrawal symptoms for some people. You can read my awful journey in regards to coming off Paxil here. The last few months have been truly awful. I've been sick all the time. It felt like I always had the stomach flu because the nausea was almost unending. I couldn't eat, sleep or fully function. I'm a bit hesitant to say this out loud but it's been about a week or so since I've felt sick after eating. The nausea…

I've finally everything up and running. Things are looking good on my end and I've converted everything (except my email) over to .org.

Please remember to click the Like/Share button when you read a post, I've got a ton of ground to make up and every Like/Share is a big step in the right direction. ☺ If you happen to notice amythinf out of whack, please drop me a line and let me know. I'm pretty sure I've fixed everything but when you've been staring at something for 3 or 4 days, it's easy to miss something.. ☺ Thank you for your continued support.
