Is your S any better? My prayers are with him as well as the rest of your fam.
He is back to his cantankerous three year old self, LOL! Thank you for the prayers. They are much appreciated. Glad to see things are looking up in your sitch!

Hey Strong & Marvelous I hit send on a prayer for your son's healing and your spirit - as much at risk at this time as anything else. Getting worn out physically is going to chip away at your spiritual resolve and your attitude in general. Guard yourself and make the time to rest. Cheers ~~~
Thank you for the prayers, Greek.
He , and I, are doing much better. A couple more days of catching up with my sleep would definitely be appreciated, though! I don't see that happening for a while yet, unfortunately. Because I was so tired and running on little to no sleep, I had a hard time with my fast the past couple of days. I will be back on track in the morning.

so glad to hear you figured out what was going on! I did do some research so please let us know if it starts happening again.
But what you described was one of the possibilities I had seen. That, and GERD, imbalance of good bacteria, asthma, or even seizures (which would be a rare possibility).
try to get some sleep! enjoy spring break (if it's this week for you)
okay, looks like your not getting sleep tonight lol, but try to tomorrow!

so glad you got to the bottom of it and found solutions that work! I should've known an experienced mom would know the BRAT diet--it was a "just in case" thought. Continued prayers!

I have noted all of the stuff you and I talked about. If I see a recurrence , I will definitely be taking all of that to the doctors' office the next time around. Thank you so much for taking the time to look it up. IT is well appreciated, as were all the prayers!

It is okay--when you gt into the thick of things, even an experienced mom begins to question her judgement and decisions. It is good to have affirmation that you are doing the right things.

I had an interesting phone conversation with my mom this morning. It was originally to deal with the fact that D17 is still pushing buttons at grandma's house and to take care of scheduling some doctor appointments.
From there, it evolved into how D17 was raised, as opposed to what I have done with the littles. There is an 8 year gap between D17 and the next one and that did change how I parented the other kids, especially since there is only, at most, a three year gap between them after that.
Mom went on to talk about how much I have changed, for the better, in the last 18 months. How I have taken ownership of my faults and worked hard to correct them. How I am more consistent with the littles than in the past, how I have worked to keep their lives as unaffected by things as possible.
She told me that she was so proud of all I have done and accomplished. Needless to say, there were tears involved, too. I do know, in the last couple of months, my mom has really changed her tune concerning DH and his ever coming home. She now speaks as if it is also a foregone conclusion, where in the past, she just wanted him to go away and leave me and the kids alone.
It was a good phone call.
I am also excited about the fact that I will FINALLY be joining a gym. I start working out tonight. They also have tanning beds, so I can work on getting some color on my pale self before summer and my cousin's wedding. The dress she picked is literally the color of a honeydew melon and I hate it, but she is my favorite cousin, godmother to D17, and a great support. I will wear it because she asked me to.

Well, I thought I would be much sorer this morning than I actually am. Of course, it was only one day of working out, but after years of nothing....
I slept like a rock last night when I finally went to bed. Just having the rest was amazing. I also learned a very valuable lesson--wear my rings to the gym!! I had left them off, as they are loose and I was afraid of either losing them or pinching my finger. Well, after the second admiring glance and the obvious checking out of my finger, I will go buy a ring guard today to ensure I can wear my rings from now on. Then there is no pretense or impropriety implied.
Less than 6 weeks left until Homecoming. While I am nervous about it, I am not anxious. It will be whatever it is. The nervous is more like anticipation. I have faith that the Lord is tasking care of things and all will work out according to His will in time. What that is, I have no idea right now. Good thing I have been a military dependent for so many years. I have the concept of things being revealed on a "need to know" basis down.
D17 and D9 know exactly when DH is supposed to be coming home. Luckily the little ones do not have the concept of time needed to really understand. Otherwise, I am certain they would be driving me nuts.
I spent an hour and a half on the phone with my inlaws on Monday night. They are the king and queen of acting as if. We could all take lessons from them!! My FIL seems like he is almost hoping for DH to get orders to another ship or the be sent IA after deployment--both of which are a very real possibility. I am guessing he thinks it will force DH to re-examine his decisions and do the right thing, especially if the orders involve having to move to another area. I will have to let God lead me if that happens, as I do not think I would want to move away from friends and family with out some sort of a commitment to work things out from DH.
Romans 8:28 has become my guide for this time. "And we know that all things work for good to those who love God and who have been called according to His purpose."
Off to clean something.

SMW - Way to go on the exercise plan! I'm cheering for you! I started this week, too. OUCH! I'll keep checking in. Someone has to keep us accountable!
I connected with your update regarding the conversation re: D17 parenting compared to the little ones. Isn't it natural, though? We were quite young when they were born. So, not only were we young, but COMPLETELY inexperienced, probably a lot more financially challenged, and paranoid we would completely ruin them! With the following children, you start to loosen up, figure out what to consider a battle, etc... My D17 is the biggest "pickle," too, and the younger ones are easier going, more carefree, etc... Well, they didn't have a hovering MOM! Don't worry. We haven't ruined the D17's. They just have a little different path to adulthood!
I'm with ya!
