Lizzie in Ma Posted April 5, 2014 Share Posted April 5, 2014 With all that's been going on I totally forgot taxes, thanks for the reminder Jean! Hope everyone is well and happy today. We made it home from NYC at 7pm last night, reeling and wiped out totally. Rowan is much sicker than we knew. She not only has Lyme but several co-infections. We loved the Dr. Trying to find out now, what, if anything, insurance will cover. She is going on a long regimin of oral drugs to beat the co-infections and they are putting in a Hickman Catheter for her to get rocephin iv drugs for a minimum of 2 months as well. Then there are about 15 supplements we need to get her as well. Kind of reeling from the information dump and can't find out what we need to know until Tuesday. Which, naturally, is making me nuts. Also in addition to gluten free, she now has to go high protein, sugar free and no fermented foods. At least I can work on figuring that out. Suggestions on the meals would be helpful if anyone knows good products along those lines. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KrissiK Posted April 5, 2014 Share Posted April 5, 2014 Good Morning, Ladies! Today, today today..... another busy Saturday. I hate busy Saturdays. I prefer leisurely Saturdays where I can just putz around. But, not today. ** VBS meeting at church 9:00am ** since I am already half ways to Clovis being at church, I will hit Costco and then come home ** in-laws will probably come by mid-afternoon ** tonight there is a male chorus concert at my parents' church that both my dad and fil will be singing in. They do it every year and since there is never child care we never go. But this year my mom offered to watch the kids, so wet are going ** try to get to the nursery today. My cucumbers all died.

TammyinTN Posted April 5, 2014 Share Posted April 5, 2014 Good Morning....I slept 12 hours and now feel soooo much better. Jean...hope you have a good day! Lizzie--praying for you and your dd. Everyone else...have a great day. The sun is shining and it's beautiful out. I've just reloaded my iPod and I'm heading out for 5 miles. Then home to shower and read and relax.

mom31257 Posted April 5, 2014 Share Posted April 5, 2014 First load of laundry is almost done. I'm a little overwhelmed with the books we have in our house and garage. I really need to sell some, but there are no used homeschool book sales in my area. I hate trying to sell things online, finding cheap or free packing materials, and shipping them unless it is a big group of books. Our homeschool group does let you send out an email of things you have for sale, but I've not had a lot of luck with that in the past. What to do?

Jean in Newcastle Posted April 5, 2014 Author Share Posted April 5, 2014 Lizzie, I never ever thought that someone would thank me for reminding them of taxes! ((Rowan)). That sounds just awful. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tress Posted April 5, 2014 Share Posted April 5, 2014 Lizzy, you and your daughter are in my prayers! It must be very overwhelming, but it sounds like this new doctor has a good plan of action, which must be a relief. :grouphug: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MysteryJen Posted April 5, 2014 Share Posted April 5, 2014 Lizzie, praying for Rowan and you. I am waiting to pick up from swim practices. When I get home, a quick clean of the house, some laundry. I promised to take dd2 out to look for a new dress for confirmation. Then some quilting and relaxing. Hopefully, Dh will finish the taxes today.

Spryte Posted April 5, 2014 Share Posted April 5, 2014 Can I join today? Paint trim in kitchen & powder room off kitchen DS needs to clean his room Vision Therapy for DS Dinner is already cooking, woo hoo! Laundry Hunt down the spider or other creature (ick!) that bit me in the shower yesterday (wow, did I have a scary reaction! Yikes.) Lizzie and Rowan - big hugs. Are you prepared for the herx train that will be stopping in front of your house soon? My days on Rocephin were rough. I had a ton of co-infections, too, and they were a tough, long road. If you need a cheerleader - life improves and gets better, it just takes patience, lots of it. ...Oh, and please, please, don't neglect your probiotics and S. Boulardii! (Oh, and if you are seeing Dr. J or Dr. H in CT - they both rock!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sbbulliv Posted April 5, 2014 Share Posted April 5, 2014 Still sick with a cold. Not planning on getting off the couch. Ok, one load of laundry. Probably have to face dinner at some point. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mom31257 Posted April 5, 2014 Share Posted April 5, 2014 Lizzie--praying for you and your dd! I'm so glad you at least have a plan of action now. A high protein diet, does that mean meat, veggie sources, or both? One load in dryer and a second in the washing machine Kids' bathroom is cleaned out and reorganized Lunch is done, too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mom31257 Posted April 5, 2014 Share Posted April 5, 2014 About to take a load out of the dryer Finished planning ds' school for next week Going in a few minutes to clean the office I'm adding shoe shopping to the list because there was an ad in our week's mail for a store here in town. The sale ends today. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Julie Smith Posted April 5, 2014 Share Posted April 5, 2014 Started off okay, but grumpiness happened. But now Dh is submitting paperwork, and we will finally be getting refunds for lots of stuff (Dentist, Otho, Eyes, Chripractor....) Dh usually only submits the paperwork twice a year, so we will be getting a lot of money soon. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Check in with you all later. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jean in Newcastle Posted April 5, 2014 Author Share Posted April 5, 2014 I have been lazy, lazy, lazy. I finished the last of the antibiotics I've been on for 3 months. And my body is totally worn out. I have sat here and played a silly computer game for hours. I was determined to get past this one hard level! Dh, on the other hand, has been the energizer bunny. I told him that I felt guilty but not enough to actually get up and do anything. So far today I have: Gotten up. Made and eaten breakfast. Made my bed. Waited for an hour and a half to be patched into my meeting but they never called so I took that as a sign that it was ok to be lazy today. I didn't have anything to contribute to the meeting at this point anyway. Took dd to volunteering. Picked up dd from volunteering. Ate leftovers for lunch. Did about 10 minutes of physical therapy exercises. I'll do some more later. Maybe. Unless I get even more lazy. Oh and I've taken lots of probiotics to help build up my body again (I was taking it while I was taking the antibiotics too but that was just to keep things from getting worse.) Dh and the kids have: Taken stuff to a neighborhood garbage pick-up event. Took the stuff they wouldn't take to the dump. Went to some kind of an estate sale. Didn't buy anything. Went to REI. Cleaned the kitchen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
readinmom Posted April 5, 2014 Share Posted April 5, 2014 Costco took forever... Might put off the movie until tomorrow. Laundry is still moving along. If we hurry, we'll just make library before closing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MysteryJen Posted April 5, 2014 Share Posted April 5, 2014 Home from dress shopping, found a nice one for reasonable amount. We also found a couple cute cheap things at Forever 21. I am finally home and really tired now! No quilting today, I will do it tomorrow! Have a great night everyone! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mom31257 Posted April 6, 2014 Share Posted April 6, 2014 What a night! We went to Office Max to have the binding cut off of some workbooks. We went shoe shopping. Dd got 3 pair (bought 2 with her own money). Ds got 1 pair. I got none because I don't think they make a shoe anywhere that I like. We ate dinner at Truett's Grill (a 50's themed Chick-Fil-A restaurant that has a sit down side and fast food side). We went to Kroger and did mega grocery store shopping using coupons and ecoupons and shopping what was on sale. I've got dd's school planned for this week, too. I'm about to start another load of laundry. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jean in Newcastle Posted April 6, 2014 Author Share Posted April 6, 2014 Dh took us all out for dinner tonight. Great food - salmon with a lemon chive cream, lime basmati rice, green beans. Plus a shared apple cobbler with cinnamon ice cream for dessert. Yum! (I pretended that the cinnamon in the cobbler and ice cream would off set the sugar and keep my blood sugar from going up. . . ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jean in Newcastle Posted April 6, 2014 Author Share Posted April 6, 2014 So I went back over my first post and crossed off all that got done (or didn't have to be done like my meeting). That left taxes and laundry. I'm going to put off taxes a little bit longer because I realized that I need to pay bills tonight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jean in Newcastle Posted April 6, 2014 Author Share Posted April 6, 2014 Paid all the non-medical bills except for the one that I have to look at with dh tomorrow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
