Just spent a half hour doing the which-smoke-alarm-is-beeping, how-do-I-take-this-apart, please-let-me-have-a-9v-battery, crap-it-is-still-beeping, can't-echolocate-right, oh-yeah-the-CO2-alarm, and crap-how-does-this-come-apart dance. Now, blessed silence.

much ~ma to you, SuziQ!

And strength and peace to you and your family, Frank.

Could not taking my meds give me double vision? I'm getting it periodically, and I'd chalked it up to the meds medley, but it's been over 12 hours since I last took any, and it just started an hour ago.

I'm trying to tie it down to cause and effect (it's perhaps only remarkable to me how difficult it is to focus (har) on cause and effect when you can't see right. It's taking angling my head, squinting, zooming screens (thank you pinch & zoom, bite me Apple), and the odd uses of a magnifying glass to get by. So, please forgive spelling errors. I can't always see the red squiggly line. Or the letters.

ita,

are you properly hydrated?

I have a daily med where, if I forget to take it, I get the dizzies. So, yes, could be a med withdrawal.

Yep, I'm hydrated. I do get double vision whether I'm hydrated or not, and now that I pay attention, whether I'm medded up or not--my first worry had been that it was because I was on too much medication. Sooooo, my question was stupid. It seems independent of the two hour delay in taking my meds, and I've downed two cups of white tea and a couple glasses of water (this call NEEDS to end soon).

ita !, you're at home, right, I hope? Please lie down if you aren't already. I'm afraid this may herald fainting.

If they are growing then don't get hung up on the curve. Does this specialist have lots of preemie patients?

It's a preemie doctor. They only see him once a month, I think. Her regular ped is much easier to deal with.

They add a calorie booster to his formula--no idea what it is. He's pretty much over the reflux--than goodness! It was just his immature sphincter. (HA! I'm 12.) So he's off meds for that and doesn't barf at all anymore.

I have a feeling he's just going to be tiny, which is fine by her and us. Even the therapists are impressed with his development so it's all good. I'll talk to my sister about the oils. Sounds like a natural option, really. I wonder if goat's milk or rice milk might work? She's not too eager to experiment at the moment but as he gets older she might be will to try.

Cashmere, tons of interview~ma to your DH, especially for the Worcester interview, because I'm selfish like that.

So, my 16 year old son spent 2 days searching for a 10 year old who, apparently, was murdered by a 17 year old. Makes me ill.

They have arrested this kid in connection with both the Jessica Ridgeway case and the attempted kidnapping of an adult a few months ago.

eta - my grammer sucks when I'm heart sick all over again.
