Being Me…

Oh my life is just exciting right now.  Day before yesterday, I fell while holding my daughter.  I landed full force on one knee.  Yay…that makes going up and down stairs (and sitting in most chairs) such fun…and of course, it was just before my parents-in-law left to take my husband’s grandmother back to Pennsylvania.  I had to call my husband to get him to come down for a few days to help out because it is hard for me to get up and down stairs and also chase after my three-year-old.

In addition, I have a “job interview” today.  I am using quotes because it is actually with an agency.  I thought it was a real job when I set up the interview.  Now that I’ve looked up the company, I realize that it is just an agency and I’ll probably just go in, take some administrative assistant tests, and talk to someone about my experiences.  Still, you never know - bad experiences with agencies in the past don’t mean that this agency won’t be able to help me.  (I still hate the interview process…)

Here’s hoping something works out soon.

Is doing better, apparently.  She has occasional “seizures” (for lack of a better word).  And they are coming less frequently.  My parents have been here since Sunday - and that has been an incredible comfort.

This week we are going to have our daughter tested.  She will be having an EEG - sigh.  The stress is unbelievable.

You know, I’m really, really, REALLY tired of ERs.  No offense to the folks who work there - the people I talked to last night/this morning were great.  I’m just tired of being there in the wee hours.  I made a run to the ER last night with our sweet daughter at 9:30 last night and was there until 3:30 this morning.  Sigh.  She has had multiple “seizure-like” episodes this week, once a day until yesterday when she had THREE.

Our daughter (10 months as of two days ago) seems to be doing ok this morning.  My husband says that she hasn’t had any episodes this morning, which is good.  She’s calm and resting a bit on the floor right now.

Our son (2-1/2) is, thankfully, oblivious of all of this.  He slept through all the excitement and life is going on as normal for him.  Yay for normalcy!

I feel like I’ve been run over.  I was in bed around 4, then back up around 5 to feed little miss, then back in bed.  Ah well… this too shall pass.  She has an appointment tomorrow at 11 am with a pediatric neurologist and we’ re ALL hoping to know something more after that.
