Church was awesome today. The message was exactly what I needed to hear. Thanks, Pastor Franklin!
Shaun was acted tired and drugged all day long....even worse than yesterday. I am not giving him ANY more medicine until we get this figured out. If he's still groggy in the morning, I am taking him to the doctor. It is so hard to see him this way. I don&...

Today was strange. I've felt like I've been in a fog all day. I think another bout of depression is coming on. I hate that....so much.
My sister, who was renting our old house from us, has bought a new house and moved out of our old one. I found out today that I went to high school with one of the new tenants who will be moving in next month. That's...

I had a weigh-in at Weight Watchers today and lost 1.2 more pounds. I was totally shocked, considering I've been on a stress-eating binge for most of this week. Hopefully by next week I'll make it to the 10 pound mark and can buy some new clothes.
When I picked Shaun up from school today, his teacher told me that she thought his new ADHD med is too much. She said h...

We switched Shaun's meds yesterday. He's now on 50 mgs of Vyvanse for ADHD and 10 mgs of Abilify for bipolar disorder. I was worried that the 50 mgs of Vyvanse would be too much, but he's been fine today. Not acting drugged or sluggish or anything. Definite plus. Tomorrow we are going back to Atlanta to see the neurolgist. Shaun's left hand and ...

This week has been crazy busy. Shaun got his progress report. He's really struggling in math and apparently is having some issues with processing information. Chris and I had a meeting with his teachers, which went extremely well. We have also found Shaun a tutor today, which I'm really excited about. We located a tutoring agency that specializes in children ...

Today was difficult for me. I think I've mentioned before that Shaun's teachers suspect he may have some issues with learning. Today I took him for psychological testing with our psycholgist (the school system is supposedly performing his psychological, but I got tired of waiting on them). Anyway, Dr. Jordan said that their is definitely something going on with the...

Today a couple of friends and I accompanied my sister-in-law to The Georgia Bridal Show-- "the south's largest and most attended bridal show". I believe it. It seemed like there were a million brides to be there. It was hectic, crowded, and hot. And I wore new shoes that made huge blisters on my feet. We were there for hours. I'm afraid my sis...

Had substitute teacher orientation today. Looks like I'll be able to work next week. I'm excited and dreading it at the same time. Apparently Jordan is not going to ever sleep when my sister watches him for me. She called e 2 times today asking how to get him to sleep. Nothing worked. He crashed as soon as we got home and I'm about to wake him so we...

My past few journals have not shown up. What's up with that??
Things have been busy around here. Shaun is adjusting well to the first grade. He has been having trouble in math, but brought home 2 100s today. We were so proud! He's also been having more "manic" episodes. I thought maybe it was just the strain of starting back to school and the c...

Jordan's visit to the doctor went good today. We have the most wonderful pediatritian. He's so good with my boys, and with me. He knows what I've been thru with both of them and never makes me feel like a paranoid freak. Anyway, he seems to think that the blue lips may be caused by reflux. Jordan had been taking Prilosec, but had to switch to Zantac. ...

Had to take Jordan to a cardiologist today because his lips have been turning blue for some unknown reason. There is no problem with his heart, thank goodness. But we still need to find out what's causing the blue lips, so its back to the pediatritian tomorrow. I'm sooo tired!

Shaun and I spent yesterday with a stomach virus. We were throwing up all day. Unfortunately, most of his throw up landed on me. Sooo gross! I still love him, though! I don't remember ever feeling that sick. I had to call my sister to come get the baby because I just could not watch him. Shaun's all better today, but I'm still really weak and ...
