I am throwing the towel in! I am done, I am begging NO MORE issues for my kids!
Brady was seen by the allergist finally and he is to have no Wheat, Diary, or Peanuts. It gets better, he is on 3 different topical meds, 2 oral, and special bath. Guess what the special bath includes???? BLEACH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! WTF? Yup, I have to fill the bath up and add 1/4 cup of bleach. SIGH, oh they are testing him for diabates as well! He isn't peeing either, they tried to bag him for a few hours to catch his urine well 4 hours not a drop of urine. So I changed his bag and another 2 hours nothing. I have to wake up by 6am and if he is dry I have to take him to ER to be cathed. The hernia could be causing these issues.
Now onto Jordana, she was supposed to have her first phase of procedure today but it was canceled last night to surgeon having a family emergency. So now we have to wait another month to do this and than we schedule the rest of the testing in Boston.
I am EXHAUSTED. I feel like I can't catch a break and my husband is ZERO help when it comes to this stuff. Thankfully I do have family around during the day if I need help but I am the type of person who tries not to ask for help. I broke down today and starting crying to my mother. I feel like the weight of the world is on my shoulders!
Re: Come on enough already!!!!!!
dude... you have a HEAVY LOAD. Having *a* sick kid is hard enough, having two, with another one that needs you too, is so very very hard.
You have help? TAKE IT.
TAKE IT.
TAKE IT.
TAKE IT.
TAKE IT.
You are more than welcome to bich and unload here, but you NEED to let people help you. This is hard stuff.
And I'm sorry you're going thru it all. Soooooo not fair at all. For ANY of you.

Well I have help to extent! My sister is away this week so she is gone and my mom helps as much as she can but having a father who ill makes hard too! My uncle is around too but he doesn't do "diapers" so I can't leave him alone with kids.
As far as my husband, he can be royal pain in my butt. I am not kidding it is battle to get him to stay home with any of the kids other than Preston. Put this weekend and the ladies who were at the GTG can vouch for this, he came to the bar with all of us saturday night because he didn't want to be stuck with the three kids. So we had to bring our 15 year old babysitter down to DC with us. He made it very hard for me to enjoy myself because I felt like I had to babysit his 34 year old arse!
I won't pretend that Davez is a dreamboat, he has his shortcomings... but seriously. This is a VERY trying time in your family. He's got to give.
Who the heck is taking care of YOU????????????????
My husband feels that dealing with this stuff is all on me! He goes to work so I deal with this! Drives me nuts! It is a never ending battle!
Taking care of me LOL, honestly if it wasn't for my mom and sister I don't know what I would do! It would help if I could freaking sleep! If I get maybe 3 hours of sleep a night that is a lot.
I'm sorry your dealing with all of that on your own:( I hope your LOs are feeling better soon.
I don't like him.
I'm so sorry. It sure sounds like you have your hands so full you need a octopus.
I know that my niece did bleach baths, and as weird as it is, it really helped, a ton.
I can't even imagine how tired you are both physically and emotionally. I am sending you many, many thoughts and prayers that these issues will be fixed soon and things will be smooth sailing from now on!
I definitely know the feeling of having one thing on top of the other dropped on you. It sucks!! But try really hard to ask for help... and take time out for yourself. It's really, really important!
Many hugs to you!!
Agreed. All you do is complain how much he doesn't do. Very sorry for your situations with all your kids but don't why you put up with that crap. He wouldn't stay alone with the kids, you need a sitter? I said if before and I'll said if again-that's truly weird to me. They are HIS kids! Why did he agree to have them if he doesn't want to stay with them? And you were (are) considering more kids with him? Dont' get it at all!!!
I know you are going to think I'm being mean but I just don't get your situation with your husband. I do truly hope your kids get better.....
oh mama, I just can take this anymore for you!!! we are here for you..hugs.
Why aren't they doing the surgery for hernia asap? is it becaust they want to figure out the rash first, or have hey confirme he has allergies?
hugs.
He will stay with the kids for a short period of time, like if I run to the store. Preston he will stay with all day! He is AFRAID to stay with the other two because of their medical issues. He doesn't handle medical issue well! I get that because some people are freaked out. One time he was in the room when they drew blood for one of the kids and he almost passed out. To answer your question, having more kids was put on hold when I got sick and needed surgery. Once I was back to good health the stuff started with the other kids.
His consult for the surgery was set up for next week but when we in ER last week because it popped back out they couldn't do the surgery that day if they wanted he would have went over 24 hours without anything to eat or drink if they did then. They said it wasn't emergency since he was passing urine. Now that he isn't they probably will want to do ASAP. They also really wanted the rash first. He saw the allergist and they can't confirm what he is allergic to until it is out of this diet for a few weeks!
Wow. THat is too much! you need a break and your kids need a break. I hope you get some answers, Jordana gets her surgery and everyone is on the mend, soon!
Hang in there!
