Guest guest Posted June 24, 2010 Report Share Posted June 24, 2010 Sorry that I have been so quiet here in So Fla. but I have been EXHAUSTED. My daughter had her baby boy on 6-19-10 @ 8:00 am weighing 4 lbs, 9 oz. 16 inches. He is in the NICU for quite some time. Yesterday he stopped sucking for some reason, so they are bringing in a speech therapist to find out why they change of events. During this time, my daughter and her 2 yr old have been living with us since she first came out of this hospital for loosing all her amniotic fluid. And then she had the baby last weekend, so we have had the baby non stop and my daughter ,moved back in with us when she was released following her C-section for at least 2 more weeks with the 2 year old. Her husband comes and goes whenever the spirit moves him. Most nights he goes back to their condo so that HE can get a good night's sleep!! I don't thinik that he has any C-section scars ?????????Ugh, am so p-------d with him. I am soooooo tired, I usualy fall asleep before the 2 year old and then wake up @ 5:00 am worrying about everything. My food budget has had to be stretched from 4 to 8. My hands are so swollen and painful from the baby and the cooking and housework. Since I hace been sick (aboutg 10 years) I haven't done many of these things. But now that my daughter and her little family are here, it is like a frat house! I love them all so much, but I never realized how much of a toll my disease had taken on me. This time of year, I take care of my familiy graves in Chicago. After that, someone from the cemetary was trying to solicit a " hole " at the cemetary and I almost said 'yes' ahd how soon can it be ready!!!! Well, no really, not I feel so miserable. I want to try one of biologics for the arthritis, but because I have had trouble in the past, the rheumy keeps saying I have to wait,but there is no definite date. My HMO won't pay for oxycontin ($1400.00 for 60 pills) so they are trying MS contin with percocet as breakthru pain. Sorry to have vented to all of you, but sometimes it just has to come out. Thanking you in advanve. And please keep my grandson, Noah Canaan, in your prayers, he still looks so tiny. Gentle, tender, angel hugs watching over all of us.

Guest guest Posted June 24, 2010 Report Share Posted June 24, 2010 Debs, I will certainly keep Noah Canaan in my thoughts and prayers, along with you and the rest of your family. Don't forget to take care of yourself. Sue On Jun 24, 2010, at 1:05 PM, BadKneesDebs@... wrote: > > Sorry to have vented to all of you, but sometimes it just has to > come out.

Guest guest Posted June 24, 2010 Report Share Posted June 24, 2010 Hi Debs. I know how dead tired you are taking care of your family. I am glad Noah arrived and he will do well in the NICU. Once the speech pathologist checks him out, and find whats wrong, he will begin to thrive. I wished you lived closer to me so I could give you some help. Your s-i-l should be ashamed of himself, and be there to help you out, expecially with the 2 year old, and I am sure your daughter could use his support too. He is brainless...... Does he not think all of you are so tired and need a good nights sleep too?? I know your life is so hectic now, and you are stressed to the max. I am no good at all when I am tired. Makes me totally disfunctional. When they all leave, you will need a good week or two to recover from all this. Feeding 8 is a very big job, plus the cost is very high. I know you want to help out your daughter and your little granddaughter. Her husband needs a good kick in a--, and to man up and help his family, you especially. I am glad you vented here and it helped you to get rid of some of your stress. Stress is just so bad for all of us. My prayers are for Noah to do better and begin to thrive so he can come home. I also pray that things settle down at your house, and you can begin to take care of yourself. You have a very full plate. You and your family are in my thoughts and prayers. I just hope you don't get sick again. I pray for that all the time. Love and many hugs to you Debs, my sweet friend. Things need to settle down in your home before you collapse. You need to put yourself first, which I know is hard to do. Try to rest when ever it is possible. You are all in my thoughts and prayers.

Guest guest Posted July 16, 2010 Report Share Posted July 16, 2010 Dear Donna and all my dear friends....... Our darling Noah came home to be with us on Monday, July 12, 2010. I think he gets cuter every day. I don't remember my girls or even my granddaughter being that tiny, but tiny or big [ ] Re: Why am I exhausted all the time Congratulations on your sweet new grandson Debs! No wonder you are so tired - my goodness! Any my gosh, you gotta feel for those husbands who need their precious sleep. That just stinks. I feel your exhaustion!!! I have 2 girls - 6-1/2 and 4 years old and they just don't stop!!!!! I think that they are starting to understand that mommy has some bad days - I don't want them to have to know that yet, but it gets bad some times. Well it sounds like Noah is being taken care of well, and I will keep him in my prayers that he will continue to " bulk up " so he can come home to his family soon, and will pray that you get some relief from pain and all the work you are doing for your family! Venting is good!!! Donna > > > Sorry that I have been so quiet here in So Fla. but I have been EXHAUSTED. My daughter had her baby boy on 6-19-10 @ 8:00 am weighing 4 lbs, 9 oz. 16 inches.

Guest guest Posted July 16, 2010 Report Share Posted July 16, 2010 I am sorry, as you can tell, my fingers are swollen and red like there is no tomorrow. I hold Noah and take care of him on my bed, but when I do, I have tears in my eyes from the pain. He only weighs 5 lbs right now, but my granddaughter gained 2 lbs while she was staying with me while my daughter was in and out of the hospital. Well, my daughter is also doing well right now, thank God. She has also had her tubes tied so no more of these stressful events for Mom!!! I tell my husband that I am so tired, he tells me to take a nap, it is not only that kind of fatigue. It is mental and then that transfers into the physical pain and then you know how that circle goes. Please pace yourself with those prescious little girls, they will grow up all too soon. Hope you have a pain free weekend. Gentle, tender angel hugs to you and yours. Debs in FL [ ] Re: Why am I exhausted all the time Congratulations on your sweet new grandson Debs!
