Zach’s mom got through surgery with no complications. She had a ‘beating heart’ open heart surgery. She got through the critical time for strokes and they will probably try and wake her around midnight tonight.
Zach has a presentation tomorrow, a final on Thursday, I think some papers/projects to finish, and then he gives a final in the class he teaches. The semester is almost over!
Zane goes in for his MRI and bloodwork on Wednesday morning. The test for mercury is not covered by insurance so we have to decide if we can find a way to pay for it. It is $145 out-of-pocket. yikes! I really want to know though. I will call the patient accounts tomorrow and see if we can do it on payments. He will only be sedated for this, not all the way under. He goes back to the hospital friday for the dental work and he will be put under for that.
Zach’s appointment with the PA for anxiety meds isn’t until NEXT Monday. Really helpful. lol. I wish he had the option of something this week. Although, I don’t know when he would fit it in. I wish we could get him (and me, for that matter) some zanax or valium or something calming. Calms Forte isn’t touching the stress in this household.
To add to this, Zora is teething. For the last two-three weeks she spends the last 3-4 hours of the night screaming, unwilling to nurse, and unable to be comforted. The sound is enough to send me over the edge. Plus, every time we get a ’serious’ phone call, I have to take her to the bedroom or outside so Zach can hear himself on the phone. Zane isn’t liking the screaming much either and will scream in frustration at times. I would feel sorry for our neighbors upstairs if they weren’t such horrible neighbors…it actually feels more like they are experiencing some unintentional karma. lol. I swear they play football and bowling up there 24 hours a day. (well, when they aren’t throwing their trash off the balcony, screaming insanely while chasing each other with water bombs and giant soaker guns, and spilling eggs and pop and other gunk things on the balcony that will fall through to us)
Hmmmm…you know, our life does sound stressful right now. I don’t think I realized how much until I wrote some of it down.
My poor baby girl.
I am so sorry you are experiencing such stress right now. This week is especially a tough one, huh? Good luck with Zane on Wed. and Fri. I hope you handles it all okay.
I have a pic of Zep at about the same age, looking identical interms of angst. I keep it in a frame above my desk that says Peace. :) just so I can remember.
I forgot to mention that I tagged you, just so you will have something to take your mind off things.
Sending calming vibes to your household. Sorry things are in a state right now. It does sometimes seem like it never rains but it pours, doesn’t it?
Poor Zora! Lots of healing thoughts for your MIL and Zora.
poor zora, josephine is teething some too. the only thing that mildly calms her down is walking outside well gently bouncing and singing high pitched soungs or the weezer self titled album.
