Re: Stressed, exhausted and worried

Jodi,

I'm exhausted just knowing he is still going through this. I can't believe the

GI doc hasn't done anything. What type of unveiling does you mother-in-law

have?

Another day of hiccups for Max. He had to leave school in the

morning because they were so bad and then he began vomiting.

My husband took Max to NYC to see the psychiatrist who, by the time

they got there, had researched rumination and hiccups and printed up

a bunch of stuff for us. She does not think that this is

psychogenic in nature, but stress and depression are aggravating

things because this is so chronic now. In other words, stress did

not bring this on and there is a definite GI problem here, but now

stress is building because Max is not getting a break. We are going

to start to switch his meds now, although it will take a few weeks

to do this and get him up to full strength Zoloft.

I don't know what to do now. I've called the GI and left a detailed

message. We want to have the endoscopy done to see what is going

on. I will have to miss a day of school, but that is okay. That's

what sick days are for. I just feel so helpless. I still feel like

crying. The best thing I can do for myself is exercise, sleep and

take it easy this weekend. Sunday, however is shot because we have

my mother-in-law's unveiling. Max will not handle that well so I am

going to drive in a separate car in case we have to leave.

I'm rambling. I'm better off if I just go upstairs and exercise.

Let's just hope this gets better soon. It's an awful feeling not

being able to help my son. We are just doing the best we can for

now.

Jodi,

Just wanted to let you know that we will be praying for you all and

thinking about you! (Esp. on Sunday!) I really hope things calm down

for Max (and you!) Blessings to all of you!

Tammy,

An unveiling is done a year after a Jewish person dies. When the

person is buried, no plaque or tombstone is placed for a year. When

the period of mourning is over, there is a small ceremony at the

gravesite and the plaque is " unveiled. " My husband's mother passed

away last September 2, but according to the Jewish calendar, the year

ended on September 20 of this year.

Jodi,

Another idea, Call the ortho and tell them what is up and see if they

can get you in before the end of Sept!!!! (Worth a shot!)
