Doctors, Doctors, Doctors.......

That has been my week so far.... I think I've had 3 days of doctor appointments this week. and usually when i am not in Pittsburgh at an appointment for Drew, I am at work (i am here now) So realistically Curves isn't /hasn't been an option until Friday. Today i could have gone to Curves. but frankly, I am exhausted!!! Yesterday Andrew had another appointment, his concussion Doctor was a little concerned that Andrew is NOT healing fast enough. He was concerned with Inner ear damage during the "HIT" last month/ vs. results from a bad concussion. Well after hours of testing. Andrew doesn't appear to have Inner Ear involvement. So the good news is it is all concussion related, and treatable and healable. Poor Drew, if I even thought he was just saying he couldn't read for any length of time to get out of school work. I should have known better. with some of the testing, you could actually see, when Drew tried to focus on a word or object. the right eye would stay on the object, the left eye went another direction... this poor boy, was fighting just to look at the word let alone comprehend what it meant... no wonder he gets massive migraines because of this. Again as we have been told by several doctors, HE will get better, but we cannot push it, or put a "time frame" on it. he will now go to weekly therapy sessions to work with his visual problem at the eye and ear institute in Pittsburgh, as well as his regular appointments with Dr. Collins at the Sports center, as well as his appointments with the Migraine/headache Specialist.

my job here at Kiski is being wonderful wonderful wonderful. I am able to switch my schedule at a drop of the hat. and they are working with me every step of the way. At this point the other job isn't working out quickly enough.........again I just coast and let God lead in that matter. and right now I couldn't honestly give them days without worrying about needing to switch and change them.

Thanks for breakfast this morning Christina......... So this morning, i am talking with Chris, and she is talking about this whole grain/high fiber/flax seed cereal, so i went to her house to have breakfast with her. well, wouldn't you know, Andrew asked if he could go too.... how cute is that? I know that my kids adore/and love Christina. but for him to want to have breakfast with two "old ladies" talking about fiber and carbs and sugar grams and fat grams.. this poor poor boy must truly be bored!!! oh Chris, keep the peanut butter i left, I'll get another jar.... it's this new peanut butter which is so so healthy, also made with flax seed and flax seed oils, it's high in fiber, low in sugar, low in carbs and the lowest in fat healthy peanut butter i found yet. Please Christina, remind me to make Drew his apple pie,......... cause i just don't want to sit on the "throne of lies". Oh and thanks for planning on accompanying me to Andrews next session next Friday, i sure appreciate it.

Thanks for having breakfast with me yesterday.....maybe we should do it more often. We could call it "get Drew out of the house for something other than a Dr. appt. day"!

How's that pie coming?
