LEAVING ON A JET PLANE !! Mood

Wednesday, July 23, 2008 | A Happy story

TODAY STARTED ON THE ROUGH EDGE. I WAS ABOUT TO LEAVE FOR KALAMAZOO TO GO TO THE CARDIOLOGIST FOR MY STRESS TEST RESULTS. THE PHONE RANG AND IT WAS CATHY TELLING ME THAT SHE WAS ON THE WAY TO CHILDREN'S HOSPITAL WITH BRAYDEN. HE HAD BEEN VOMITING ALL NIGHT AND SHE TOOK HIM IN TO THE DOCTOR FIRST THING THIS MORNING AND THEY SAID HE WAS SEVERLY DEHYDRATED AND HIS BLOOD SUGAR WAS 45! POOR BABY. SHE WAS SCARED BECAUSE THE DOCTOR DIDN'T WANT HER TO TAKE HIM TO THE LOCAL HOSPITAL. SO THERE SHE WAS WITH A SICK BOY..DRIVING ALONE INTO THE CITY...AND HAD NO IDEA WHERE THIS PLACE WAS. HER STUPID, IGNORANT...GOOD FOR NOTHING AT TIMES...HUSBAND, WENT TO WORK!! HE LET HER GO ALONE AND FACE "WHATEVER". AS IT TURNED OUT, THEY DIDN'T PUT HIM ON AN IV LIKE HER DOCTOR THOUGHT THEY MIGHT. I GUESS I AM THANKFUL FOR THE FACT THAT SHE WAS SENT TO THE CHILDREN'S HOSPITAL BECAUSE THEY ARE EQUIPPED TO HANDLE KIDS OF ALL AGES. THEY DIDN'T WANT TO PUT HIM THROUGH THAT IF THEY COULD DO SOMETHING ELSE. THEY TOOK BLOOD FROM HIS LITTLE FOOT AND THEN GAVE HIM SOME ZOFRAN FOR NAUSEA. THEY LET THAT WORK FOR A BIT AND THEN GAVE HIM SIPS OF APPLE JUICE TO SEE IF HE COULD KEEP IT DOWN. THAT WORKED...AND PRAISE GOD FOR THAT. I WAS ALREADY ON THE PHONE TRYING TO CHANGE MY PLANE RESERVATIONS AND LEAVE THIS AFTERNOON INSTEAD OF FRIDAY MORNING...OH YEA........AN ADDITIONAL $600 AND I COULD HAVE DONE JUST THAT!! OMG IS THERE ANYTHING IN THIS WORLD THAT DOESN'T COST AN ARM, A LEG..OR PERHAPS YOUR FIRST BORN??? I DECIDED THAT I WOULD JUST GO ON TO MY APPOINTMENT AND SHE WAS TO CALL ME WITH NEWS. I KEPT MY TICKET FOR FRIDAY BUT TOLD GEORGE THAT IF IT TURNED OUT TO BE WORSE OR THEY WERE ADMITTING HIM...MONEY OR NOT..I WOULD BE ON THE NEXT PLANE TO ALANTA. MY APPT TURNED OUT GREAT. HE TOLD ME I WAS IN GREAT SHAPE AND HAD DONE AN EXCELLENT JOB ON THE STRESS TEST. OF COURSE THAT DOESN'T MEAN THAT SOMETHING COULDN'T HAPPEN REGARDLESS...BUT I WAS MUCH RELIEVED. HE DID SUGGEST SOME "CHILL PILLS" BECAUSE OF THE STRESS SITUATIONS IN MY LIFE. WE WILL SEE ABOUT THAT WHEN I COME HOME. I FINALLY GOT THE CALL FROM CATHY AND SHE WAS ABOUT TO LEAVE FOR HOME. THEY HAD THINGS UNDER CONTROL AND WERE LETTING HER TAKE BRAYDEN HOME. SHE WAS A BASKET CASE. MY GIRLS AND I ARE ALL ALIKE...WE THINK FAR AHEAD OF THE MOMENT AND WORRY ABOUT EVERYTHING AND ANYTHING THAT COULD POSSIBLY HAPPEN. I AM SO SORRY THEY GOT THAT FROM ME. I HAVE WISHED MY ENTIRE LIFE THAT I COULD CHANGE THAT ABOUT MYSELF. ANYWAY...I JUST CAME ON HERE TO REMIND YOU ALL THAT I LOVE YOU AND CARE ABOUT ALL OF YOU VERY MUCH. I AM LEAVING FIRST THING FRIDAY MORNING AND WILL NOT BE BACK UNTIL THE 3RD. IF I CAN, I WILL DROP YOU A MESSAGE FROM ATLANTA! UNTIL THEN...KEEP TRUCKING!!!

I am glad things are working out.We had a minor case of the flu this week.Alex brought it here and Dylan had it Tuesday and I missed work yesterday..not good. My back hurts this morning but I am going in. I hope your visit is good and I hope your daughter isn't sick from whatever the little guy was sick from.

Sooo glad Brayden is okay!!! That is really a scare that will age you about 5-10 yrs.!! Been there and done that one.
Good news on the stress test. Seriously consider the antianxiety meds. They really do help.
If I don't catch you before, have a wonderful time on your trip (I KNOW you will) and get tons of hugs and kisses to last you a while.
Big Hugs,
Gabby
