    We can't put it off any longer <sigh>

    <P>Yep, it's true. Sean is getting a G-tube next week. No one is happy about it least of all, Sean. He's sworn up and down that he will be giving up all activities and that without a doubt, I am ruining his life. Of course I know I'm not ruining his life, we're just trying to get him back on the...

    Traveling with meds

    Heading out of town for Easter Break and I need a "refresh" on what to do with Sean's Nebulizer, HS, and Pulmozyme. Obviously we'll be bringing these as carry-on so I need some advice about how to get them on the plane. I'm mostly concerned with the liquids. Do we need a Dr's note? Original...

    Sean's heading in...

    At our clinic visit today, Sean's Dr. made the decision to admit him. His PFT's were down quite a bit and it's been a while since he's had a tune-up so we're waiting for a bed. Needless to say, Sean was not happy about the news <img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-mad.gif" border="0"> As...

    Appetite Stimulants

    Some of you may be familar with the fact that Sean's Dr. wants to go the G-tube route. Sean and I aren't too thrilled with the prospect. Sean was doing a great job eating more and things were looking up (i.e. his Dr. agreed to put off the G-tube a bit longer). However, with school and...

    Feeding Tube?

    Well, for some time now Sean's Dr. has been "mentioning" a feeding tube. He's been working hard to gain weight and has done a good job but he's still at the bottom of the charts. His Dr. thinks it's time. She's given him another 4 weeks to try and gain 2 pounds but honestly I think she's made...

    Sean's in...

    Ok, so on Sunday evening, Sean's hockey team was playing in the championship game of a local tournament. Shortly after the game began, on Sean's 2nd shift, he was the unfortunate recipient of a VERY cheap shot into the boards. Sean's shoulder was just above the edge of the boards which is...

    Treadmill shopping

    I've done a good amount of reading but there is just so much out there. I'm hoping people that already have a treadmill can give me some insight on what I should be shopping for (i.e. have to haves, not so important, the good, the bad, the ugly <img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif"...

    Anybody heard from Seana lately?

    Just curious how Courtney is doing? Oddly enough I thought of her the other day because of a news story about a girl being "cyber-bullied" and it reminded me of Courtney. Hope all is well with Courtney, your home biz, and the rest of the fam.

    Littledebbie

    Like so many here the news of Debbie's passing came as a complete shock to me. Of course, I went back and read her blog. I didn't know Debbie well but she was certainly one of those people I always read. If I saw her name attached to a post, I read it. I thought it would be a nice tribute to...
