Well everyone you will be glad to know i saw the lawyer today. He is taking

the case at no cost to me and the papers were filed with the court before i

even got home this afternoon. He has told me not to discuss the case with

anyone because the school may try to use people against me in court but he

doesn't think it will make to court this one they will want to settle out of

court.He said that this is the 13th case filed against the school board this

Jan.1, 2000. can you believe it? not sure how many are this school but going

by the look on his face there are a many. So i will let you all know what i

can without putting the case in jepordy.Wish us luck.So far so good.

Hi ,

You will feel a little different at first until your body adjusts. Dopey and

tired. When I started it I only started with 10 mg. But eventually up'd it to

25 mg. The limit on how much you can take is 150 mg. Just give it a little

time and you will notice a difference. It will be worth it. It has really

helped me. I have been on it since 1992, abouts. A couple weeks ago when my

legs were really freaking on me, my doc had me up it to 50 mg for a few days

and then I could go to 75 mg, etc, until I reached 150, if I needed to. I

only went up to 50 mg for a few days and that helped me, and went back down

to 25 mg after I was better. My legs were so bad I didn't sleep for a good

week. One of the side effects it has, which I really like, is vivid dreaming.

~

[Guest guest]

oh yes the dreaming happend last night. I don't usually remember my dreams

but i do remember bits and pieces from last night. Thanks i will keep taking

them then.

[Guest guest]

i will give some time for my body to adjust. I only hope that i don't gain

any weight with it. I feel bad enough about the weight i have gained and i

don't think that will help my emotional state right now.

If i feel like its making me crazier then usual i will call the dr and ask

him to give me something else.

I can be so flighty at times i don't need a med to help me. thanks again

[Guest guest]

,

It could be from the elevil. Sometimes it takes a few doses to adjust to

it.

If it makes you feel so bad that you are concerned, maybe you should call

the doctor. I almost quit taking mine because I didn't like the way they

made me feel, but I'm glad that others told me that they felt the same way,

and I gave my body a chance to adjust.

sues,

That Dr is in Pensacola, FL and i live in Mobile Alabama. Its a hour or

more drive to get there.Good thought though.Medicaid would rather i give him

the shot then to have to pay for the dr visit 2 times a week too. Medicacid

in a funny thing. Thanks though.

[Guest guest]

Michele,

has been a pt of the shriners since he was 2 months old.He was

born with a club foot.The shriners are the ones that sent me to All Childrens

Hospital in St.Pete FL.Shriners don't have the kind of drs that jesse needs

other then ortho at least thats what they told me in tampa when jesse first

started getting sick in 94 and because it took them so long to listen to me

that something was wrong with jesse i am not sure i was to deal with them

much where his illness is concerned. They were great for his club foot and

will always be greatful but i feel better about his new group of drs better

then i have about any other drs before.

If it comes down to us having to pay out of pocket for it then so be it.

I will do anything to make sure he has a better chance at a normal childhood.

MY boyfriend and his parents and i have already talked about that and my ex

husband as well. we all will do without so he can have this.

Thanks for the idea though, i am greatful to you for taking the time.Take

care,

P.S. My name is Michele to Michele Lee actually but i have always been called

shelly. I think its neat that we have the same name and even spelled the same.

Call 1-800-282-7704, I think this is the correct number. Enbrel has a

program set up for those who can not afford Enbrel. Not sure what the

qualifications are but it can't hurt to check into it. Good luck . Tery

[Guest guest]

Thanks Tery i wrote the number down in s daily diary so i won't lose it.

Thanks again

Hi ,

Sorry to hear that has this problem, but I am glad he is on some

medication for it. What is the pain killer that his doctor prescribed for

him for this?

Thanks.

Hi ,

That is pretty much how my eyes feel at times. I can understand 's

feeling the way he does - it is frustrating and it gets old and tiresome and

you get to the point why bother explaining how you feel when a lot of it is

there a lot of the time (did that make sense?) Anyway, it is comforting to

know you aren't the only one that goes through some of these things.

Thanks.

Hugs,

Sandy

Sandy the pain killer that is on is Hydrocodone takes 1 tablet 2 to 3

times a day for pain. It seems to help him get a grip on the pain and it

doesn't make him real sleepy. He hates to feel like he is missing any piece

of life. he is amazing. Take care

[Guest guest]

,

Your post brought tears to my eyes. No, you are not nuts to want to help

Luke. You are very brave and have a very big heart. Luke needs a loving

family. If you feel in your gut that it is the right thing to do, then you

must do it.

I hope is OK and that his appointment coming up will give you some

good answers. Of course, I hope you and and the other boys are doing

well today, too.

Best of luck,

Hope you are over your cold soon. The story you wrote about the abuse you

endured and the loss of your spleen sent a shiver through me. I am so sorry.

I know that your ex is the father of one of your sons, but I could strangle

him!

I am happy to hear that the boys are doing well. When will Luke join you?

Thanks for the Vermont/Alabama-style hug! I'm sending one back to you.

cold and when i get sick its hard for me to kick it. I have no

spleen(spelling). i take muti vitams and vitamin c as well. i am taking an

And thank you for encouraging me with my nephew i needed to know that i

thanks and take care,

You are so kind and loving. I'm not sure I have that much forgiveness in me,

but I'll remember your story about you and Emilio.

Luke is so lucky to have your mother and you looking out for him and loving

him so. Summertime makes a lot of sense. It would be beautiful if he thought

that living with your family was his idea!

Please take care of yourself and feel better soon. Please don't let your

health deteriorate. I hope comes home from the park and not the ER.

I have realized that i could hate Emilio for what he did but i don't want to

waste that kind of energy. When he is sober he is a hard working loving man.

I know that he loves and adores our son. I know that he loves me too and the

other boys. The reason i say this is because he made a move to Ohio just to

make sure he never hurt me again. He knew that the boys needed me and he was

afraid of his own temper. It takes a strong man to walk away from a good job,

most of his own family, the woman he loves and the children that he loves

more then anything else so that the woman he loved would be safe from him. I

know the old routine if they hit once they will hit again and they regret it

once they are sober. Emilio did something that i have never know a man to do.

Most men i know of stay as close to the woman as possible. To me he made a

mistake and he is still punishing himself and he will do that for the rest of

his life. Maybe its my forgiving nature or my big heart i don't know all i

know is that i have to much going on in my life and hating and being angry

takes up to much of my energy that i would rather use to love people.Besides

you always love the sinner but hate the sin.I truely feel that way.

now about Luke if he comes down it would be during the summer. no sense it

pulling from school now when there is only 2 months left.My mom can down for

a couple of weeks to see the other boys too and see what its like around here

so she doesn't feel that she is making a mistake.She needs to feel secure

with the decision. and so she can help him adjust to the change as well.

make him understand that she wants him to be in a more family home and that

she loves him. Who knows maybe he will ask to come live with Aunt .It

would be great if it was his idea in a way.No matter what he has to agree to

it or else it won't work but i really think he wants to.

The boys are doing great jesse has gone to a friends baseball game and

has gone to the skateboarding park. Waiting for the park to call me saying

is on his way to the ER cause he broke an arm or ankle.LOL. I am

expecting it cause one of these days he will land wrong and snap but i can't

stop him cause he loves it so much. The park supplys the helments and pads

for 10.00 so thats good. no one goes on the ramp without safety equipment.I

know that if he gets hurt they will call me and get him to a hospital.The

things kids do to worry their parents. I guess it could be worse meaning he

sports. The little ones are making a play place with the cushions from the

couches ( i have 2 big ones and a luv seat) and is doing a experiment

lungs it takes weeks to get over it.

well i think that about covers my morning. take care,

You are a very compassionate loving person, and Luke will have his best

would be a better place.

I hope you feel better soon.

I'm not getting very far in reading email as I got distracted looking at

websites about Gifted Education (I have a gifted daughter, who's having some

" issues " at school. We have school conferences this week and now I'll be

ARMED with LOTS of info for the teacher and school!) Anyway, I have to say

here that: a) I think you are doing a VERY CARING and LOVING thing by

inviting Luke to come and live with you and your children, , and I

marvel at your resiliency in light of what you went through with your former

" significant other " !! I'm hoping and praying that things work out for

you, , with your teeth and your soon to be EX!! and c) that all

continues to improve with your " plumbing " , Esther, as my late, Great Aunt

used to say!!

And to everyone else on this SANITY SAVING LIST I wouldn't be who and WHAT I

am today without your kind words and encouraging sentiments!!! You guys are

THE GREATEST!!!! (That means you, too, GINA!!) We all know how this group of

" cyber friends " has helped each one of us - to H_LL with the naysayers -

they don't have to live day to day with the pain, etc that we do!!)

Now I'm back to reading all my unread email (1,500 post and counting!!)

,

Are you OK? Why is it an emotional day today? Any special reason (not that

you really have to have one!)?

Hope the boys are fine.

oh its anyday can be emotional for me lol but its that time of the month

and i am like a water fountain for about 3 days.

The kids are ok. Jake is having funny feelings in his left ear but i think he

forgot his ear plugs in the shower and got water in it. Now i have to pin him

down to put the ear drops in to clear it up. what fun that will be.

has major road rash on his right knee and some girl kicked the knee at school

so it bled again and it just doesn't want to heal. He didn't want to tell me

cause he was afraid i would stop him from skate boarding. I did stop him but

just long enough for it to heal.I think i will go ahead an get him the more

expensive pads for him. the cheaper ones are just plastic and hard for him to

move the more expensive ones are think padding and much more able to move

with those. He is really into skateboarding. He is getting pretty good at it

too. is doing fairly well. The weather is gray today and he is doing

pretty good. He is grounded though. He seems to have misplaced his small AFO

brace at a friends house when he spent the night and they haven't found it

yet.So he is grounded because he took it off and didn't take care of it.I let

him go out in the afternoon so he can get a little exercise. Its nice to know

that he is like other kids and gets grounded too.lol.

The little ones are doing well too. doing the usual stuff making a mess and

having fun.Thank god things are fairly normal this week.Maybe thats why i am

emotional no chaos and i don't know what to do. lol.

Don' t worry feeling much better today. Thanks.

Beverly,

the dose of Methadone was 1/2 tablet every 8 hrs and it was 5mgs per tablet

so he was only getting 2.5mg per dose.We were surprised that it affected him

like that. He had 2 doses one at 10pm last night and one at 9:30 this

morning. It seems that he just can't take this kind of pain killer. he has

taken Demerol before and codine and never had a reaction like this but we

were trying it because it was a non-addicting pain killer. I am so worried

about using addicting meds since there has been drug addiction in the family

in the past and i have a great fear that it could be passed down. So we are

going back to the old pain killer but he will get it everyday not just when

he can't take the pain anymore. The ER dr said that his Rhem. dr must have

really felt that it would help jesse. She knows s Dr personally and

knows that he cares for his kids and wouldn't do anything to hurt.
