• Stuffed silly

    Why did I eat so much at dinner? why why why? Boy has only vomited twice so farĀ  today. We took a walk in the park in the sunshine. It was great. I love not living in the freezing cold…

  • the news that is

    I know, I’m not really posting much this week. The boy continues to be sick. I have been working on The Cipher for reissue. The weather has been very nice, and generally things have continued to plod along. We got…

  • at the end of the weekend

    Technically today is the end of the weekend, because there was no school today for the kids. Well, the boy hasn’t been having any school anyhow. We are working on getting him qualified for a special medical accommodations program, and…

  • Potential progress made. Maybe.

    Took boy into see his doc today (regular, not GI). I wanted to get his ears checked, just in case, and talk about counseling and anxiety. He talked to Q for awhile and gave him suggestions, gave me suggestions for…

  • Of dreams too strange to be nightmares

  • Boy update

    All the endoscopy tests came back negative. No Celiac, no lactose intolerance, no bacteria issues, no allergies, and I forget what else was tested for. Also no parasites. The doc is trying him on a medicine that helps with pediatric…

  • the work and the boy

    The boy was scoped today. I videotaped some of him being really goofy on drugs. The doc found nothing in particular so far. We wait for biopsies. There was one small nodule that could be something or not, and that…

  • panic attack

    I’ve had an endoscopy. It’s not that bad. I don’t remember much and I had a sort throat after. It was pretty non-traumatic. Okay, that’s actually a lie. Because it was paired with a colonoscopy, it was terrible. Mostly the…
