Hello all ...
Well I tell you it has been a very LONG day...but finally I have some time to sit, relax and update you all.
Jack had his procedures done. They got a late start, because they were unable to get an IV in, so they had to call the anesthesiologist in to place one, plus they had an emergency come in. The doctor removed one polyp, he has numerous pockets, and has to watch his red meat intake, eat lots of fiber and watch the seeds. He has a small (very small) hyatal (?) hernia, and there are no visible signs of cancer. The doctor was concerned with his stomach, it is VERY red and inflamed. He will get the biopsy results within the week, and will go from there, as to what it may be.
NOW for William. The neurologist spent 2 hours with us, asking questions, observing, asking more questions, checking things out, and this is what he has come up with...He DOES NOT want to label William, but he thinks he may have a mild form of autism. He wants to get some other things done, before he sets up for William to be completely evaluated for the autism. He had blood drawn on William. He is checking for "Fragile X" (no idea what that is, will be looking later) and also genetic screening (chromosome's he said) He is also setting William up to have an MRI done, and he wants him to be sleep deprived for this. He is only to get a little sleep before the MRI, they will have to sedate him for this, but it is done at a place that deals with very small children (kid friendly). Also he wants him to get an EEG done. He wants to rule out seizures, and if nothing shows up on the one, he will request a "study" EEG done which is over days. He would like to know what the Eye Muscle specialist has to say next Thursday, because he would like a little more clarification as to what has caused the Amblyopia...whether it is due to muscle weakness or near sightedness, astigmatism, etc.... The blood results will not be back for 2 weeks, because of the nature of the testing. The doctor also wants me to try to video tape some of the episodes, since that will give him more clarification as to what is happening, even though I tried to show him what I have seen.
We just got done with dinner, and I did manage to make 6 cotton grannies while out...BUT I need to go sit my butt on the couch and relax with some crocheting. Did not get much sleep last night either, so will probably call it an early evening...
Hope you all had a wonderful day..........

Wendy... whatever it is, it is. You can't change anything by worrying about it. And you will not be given any situation that you are NOT able to handle. There is a HUGE blessing to be had here and a TESTIMONY too. I believe that. As you knit and crochet and hug your children and Jack... know that God is working behind the scenes and lining EVERYTHING up to HIS PERFECT WILL.
You do not have to be strong, you just have to lean on HIM. OK?
Love ya
I agree with Aunt Kathy, you can't change it, but you will be able to handle it because Jehovah never gives more than we can handle even if we think we can't. Stay strong as I know you will.
Bllllaalhahahahahahahahahaha
Blech yelled really loud for you.
Now. I yelled some stress out for you. If I'd allow myself to cry, I'd do that to.
Now, remember, it doesn't matter at all what this is. It has always been. All that matters is how you react. So go love on that family of yours and do what you need to do. That's all. Keep fiber flowing, it'll help deal with the emotions. No matter what, you're doing the right thing. You are looking out for your family. BTW - I see labels as only a door to get help from those qualified to give it. Remember that, okay?
Love ya
Good advice all around already. Don't stress and worry about it. You're a tough cookie and you'll handle whatever comes your way.
We're Mommies...it's what we do.
Hugs!
Dear Wendy, just came across your blog and it's clear you are very loving and creative. Just want to wish you the best and say I'm so sorry you and your family are going through these things.
You may know that for richly varied raw (and ideally organic) vegetables are full of medicinal amounts of anti-cancer vitamins and minerals. Juicing is one way to up intake. You also need whole fiber, esp. whole grains and cruciferous vegetables; and eat tomatoes for lycopene, proven to be anti-cancer.
Also want to pass on, I've been reading pediatrician Dr. Kenneth Bock's book, "Healing the New Childhood Epidemics/Autism, ADHD, Asthma, and Allergies." All of his patients seem to have some--and many have substantial--improvement. You may find a good deal/paperback at amazon or half.com.
Please take good care.
