I'm also continuing to think of you and sending so many positive thoughts and hopes that your ds will be ok.

Sending positive thoughts.

I have complicated intestines and my prep would sometimes be days before my procedure. But that was doctor ordered and certainly not something I chose to do. I think the longest was 3 1/2 days for me. My doctor actually wanted to do longer, but thought it would be too hard on me.

I forgot to add that my dd does say that she feels left out sometimes because her older brothers have so many memories/shared experiences that don't include her. I was really worried about how it would all work out with the age span when we found out about the pregnancy, but it turned out to be very special in our case. I agree with some comments above that you just never know how siblings will relate to each other no matter how close or far apart they are in age.

I have a friend who did that and it worked out fine. My three oldest (boys) are much older than their baby sister and they are all adults now and very very close. She's particularly close with her twin brothers who are 8 years older. They adore each other and the boys were really supportive of her when she was growing up, which was nice because we don't have any extended family who are supportive. They went to all of her performances, sports things, first day of school ceremonies, school events, etc. and always made sure she was treated special at home (no wonder she adores them!). She's officiating her brother's wedding soon and two of them just visited her recently (she lives about 1000 miles away). When they were little it was hard on me to find things they could all enjoy (like movies, outings, even vacation activities), but that wouldn't have changed with another sibling close to her age.

No, not offended but I might be stressed out about doing it all correctly.

Oh I’m sure there is a process and it’s well articulated on paper. Blessed by lawyers even 🙂
i have never heard of a grade changing for a reason other than what I wrote. Many things can be true at the same time.
Ds1 was able to have a grade changed at his university but he had to push very hard for it. I don't remember the full process (he graduated from college 11 years ago), but it definitely took a lot of work on his part and his assertive personality certainly helped (I have other kids who are much more passive an wouldn't have pursued the grade change). In his case, his grade fell from an A to a B due to a poorly worded/graded test by the instructor. She wasn't a full-time professor - she worked in industry and taught part-time.

I'm so sorry for your loss.

Thanks everyone! We were able to get in with his pediatricians office, different doc, and found out it's impetigo. Got a prescriptionG. lad I brought him in, hopefully derm and allergist will have some better long term solutions.
I'm so glad he was seen and diagnosed. Hope the Rx helps very soon.

I'm sorry. Can you leave him something special - even just a note with a happy face on it or something for him to have after you are gone?

I'm reading Says Who?: A Kinder, Funner Usage Guide for Everyone Who Cares About Words by Anne Curzan. It's very good so far. Some of the grammar is over my head, but the author sure has given me a lot to think about. I just wish I could retain all of the info I'm reading. DH and I have been discussing some of the things I've read in the book and I think he's going to read it too. He loves a good debate (I don't) and doesn't agree with some of the things I've told him the author has said. 😛

Sending hugs and just echoing @YaelAldrich - everything is so much harder to deal with when you have pain. Hope things settle down soon and you feel better.

Would an xray not show that?
The MRI shows soft tissue (like discs) while x-ray would show bone. MRI would definitely show more detail.

If it's longer than 30 minutes, I'm probably reading & ignoring the drive.
I'm asleep at that point. I can't sleep at home, but as soon as I'm in the car I'm ready for a nap. And a snack. I joke with DH that I'm like a toddler because all I do on long drives is eat and sleep.

I would not be surprised to hear that it is going downhill in quality. Everything seems to be.
However, my youngest ds was in college fivish years ago, and his community college classes were above and beyond. He was a bit surprised at the difference when he went to the university. It wasn’t near as good as the CC at that time.
Things are changing. Sigh.
Our local cc is mostly fabulous with really dedicated and great professors. Can't say the same overall for the universities my kids attended (although there were certainly good and bad at both CC and university).

well, my oldest has taken a bunch of asynchronous online classes at our local university, and unfortunately, at least a few of them have been like that. So I don't know that it is a community college thing.
I agree based on my kids' experiences in both types of schools. One in particular at my dd's university was absolutely terrible and should have been reported.

DH and I are similar to you and your DH. I just keep telling myself that he has a LOT of driving experience and has never been in an accident. He's a much better driver than I am, but it still makes me nervous. The worst is in the snow when I think he should be driving slower and more cautiously. But I drive like a snail in the snow - there is probably a happy medium somewhere.

@GargaMy dd did that. She had no interest and I think the constant focus on the eclipse everywhere the past few weeks or months just burned her out and she wanted nothing to do with it. She's a young adult and I don't know if she would do things differently if she were older, but that was her choice and she was just glad when the whole event was over. We live in a different state than her, but also in totality, and weren't all that excited about it, but weren't going to pass it up since we could view from our yard. We absolutely loved it and are so glad we got to experience it.
ETA - I'm embarrassed about how many times I have "it" in that post! 🙂

@Carrie12345I'm so sorry! That sounds awful. My DH has experienced excruciating back pain like that and it is absolutely horrible. I hope you get some relief very very soon. 😞
