Just like everyone else in the world these days, our lives become increasingly busier every day! Believe it or not I like it that way for the most part. I really enjoy being out and about,being with people that I love and just having fun. I love when my kids have play dates for several reasons. It gives my kids something to do, as well as learn from. I like the fact that we all do things differently and my kids get to learn other ways of doing the same things, possibly some way that is better for them, as I do things for my own ease. I enjoy having the adult time and meeting and getting to know new people. I LOVE LOVE LOVE relating to other families that are in the same place in life as we are. I personally feel better about myself when I get out, I am not as anxious, angry or depressed as I can get for long periods of being stuck in side, (the foot surgery killed me, and I am just now starting to recover from it.) My marriage is better when I get out too. I'm just a better person. I have always been very social, shy at times yes, but very social!
As we all know I was thinking about starting a personal business with Premier Designs Jewelry, and I have done it! I am so very excited about this venture and opportunity! I will be working alongside some of the best ladies I have ever met! Good christian women, that are completely family oriented. I don't think I have ever seen as much support in a business as I have this one, now granted there are a lot of great ones out there, but for me this is the perfect one! I am just beyond thrilled with learning, making MY own money to contribute to the family, and most importantly learning from all these lovely ladies and becoming a better person both spiritually and emotionally (the way I react and present myself to others). I just want to feel useful again and help others as well as myself!
Today is a good day! I have a lot in front of me to be happy about, I have healthy kids, a loving husband, and great friends!

And there are more tests ( there is TMI, you are forworned)
I took Tyler back to the pediatric GI specialist today at Vandy, and she pretty much didn't know what to say. She said "I'm pretty sure he's just constipated" well DUH I could have told you that, he has been since he was 4 months old and he is will be 2 in April. So I asked her about my concerns with the two different gastric tests they did, (the enema and upper GI) she said I'm not sure, they look like there is no physical deformity, I still don't think that its hirschsprung's disease, and I agree with this, because it can be fatal, and he is obviously not under weight. Although he has put NO weight on since at least July, he is obviously not malnourished,and his height continues to increase.
So she told me that he has something going on but he is so backed up that what is coming out is going around the clumps (I can't think of the word I want to use). So he is just so backed up that it is causing his stomach to not empty. Which I'm not sure that I buy, we have increased his meds since seeing her, and he is having more diarrhea that he had even as an infant. I'm frustrated because surely if it was just constipation since he has been taking a laxative since he was 4 months old it would have cleared out by now and he should be fine.
She is going to run some more tests for allergies to try to rule that out. She is at least doing something. She is kind and patient and answers as much of my questions as she can. Today she even went to the head of the GI clinic to make sure what her plan was, was the best way to proceed. I am very thankful that they are doing something even if it is a slow process.
So the plan is to give Tyler more enemas, probably at least two maybe more, and then quadruple his meds and MAKE him have diarrhea so that it is literally the color and consistancy of ice tea and having this for a few days. I know the next week or so is going to be a pain in the butt, but hopefully it will help him in the long run! I just feel so bad that he can't go with out pain and is starting to get uncomfortable at times.
