Gratton's First Day of First Grade

Gratton's first day of first grade is today! Kindergarten was only half day, and he didn't like that they didn't get snack time or lunch! He is happy he will finally be able to eat lunch at school now.

Last night he had his back to school night, and he got to see his classroom and meet his teacher. She let them pick out a plush that would be their friend for the first week, and then they will be able to take it home forever. Gratton thought that was just grand, and he picked a little penguin. The teacher gave him a get to know you form to fill out, and he went right to a desk to fill it out. His teacher was happy he went to do it right away. David signed up to help out with math once a week in the class. I also signed up to be a class parent too. I volunteered in Gratton's Kindergarten class, and he really liked it.

 He rode the bus, and I am happy to announce that he was not late! He was very stressed out about that, even though we told him that if he was late we would just drive him to school. The bus driver did come 10 mins early though, so it turned out to be a good thing he was being so paranoid about time!

Health update, a big one

There is fluid buildup in my abdomen putting pressure on my lung. All the weight I've been gaining since the first of the year was fluid buildup. The pulmonologist is doing more tests still, but they put me on lasix for the fluid buildup, and I've got a cardiology appt on the books.  Before all this, we planned a cruise with the in-laws for potato harvest break, and my PCP Dr Jones told us to go and have fun. I will have my oxygen, and we ordered a power scooter like the electric ones at grocery stores to use on the cruise! Haha that just made me think of wall-e! I hope they have holographic ordering figured out!  So we’re gonna go have a blast and deal with the other stuff when we get back!

Tidbits from today

5/15/15 Today I asked Gratton to tell me 3 things he was thankful for. He said, "his hat, his diamond sword and his sack boy (a toy I made him)." Kahlan said I love you tonight for the first time! She kept saying, "mom" and when I said what, she'd day "I love you". She did it over and over. I love her. Kahlan and I played dolls tonight. She wanted to wrap them up and put them to bed. She had me get her pillow out of her bed, and she laid them on the pillow and tucked them in with her purple blanket. Then she would say, "go to sleep". We watched interstellar with Jonny for his last night here. Gratton Watched it with us but Jonny fell asleep haha. It was a good movie, and today was a good day. I had awful back pain today and blood in my urine again. That's actually good though, because today was the day of my ct scan. And it needs to be done while there's blood in my urine, or it's worthless. Because to confirm Dr Rahims diagn

Part 2 July 10,2022

Health update part 2 So now with the history, labs and 2 weeks of the continuous blood sugar monitor results, my specialist in Utah who is a nurse practitioner who also has her PhD in nutrition, and was a diabetes educator before opening her clinic (basically crazy credentials), she is pretty positive I've got an insulinoma.  So she and my dmba nurse case manager have been doing everything they could, speaking to each other, making tons of calls, to get me in as soon as possible with the right specialist.  Thursday morning- about the time I'm falling down the stairs, the above mentioned nurse case manager Jill, emailed me and told me that I can't go on vacation because my health problems are too dangerous to go anywhere without a pancreas workup for that insulinoma. I didn't fully read and understand the email till Friday at like 430. I tried calling the specialist recommended but they weren't open Fri.  So I emailed my nurse case manager and told her I'll rest
