Whine and A Side of Queso


Bad news.
The happy Nutritionist came on Wednesday.
She likes that I feed Chickadee
ground up things like broccoli and poached eggs.
She is my favorite personal cheerleader.

But.

Chickadee lost weight.
How ironic that this is bad in my life.
Chickadee also grew.
For the second month in a row.

She is two pounds down
and one centimeter up.
This is the cause for my missed runs
and funky 'tude.

She's going to need a GI pediatric specialist.
They need to do a study of her digestion.
I don't want to do this-add another doctor-again

Pray if that is what you do.
Think happy for us if you remember.

    Consider the prayers and happy thoughts underway. When all is not well with one of our children, it's very upsetting. Please hang in and keep the faith.

    I am a praying person and will pray for your little one right now. I hope that they can shed light on what is really going on with her.

    Aw, that is so tough. Our daughter had surgery at three weeks for pyloric stenosis, which was causing her serious weight loss. This sort of thing is so scary! I will be praying for you and yours.

    I'll do the prayers and the good thoughts. And I'll throw in some crossed fingers and a happy dance if you like. I heart you and your chickadee.

    I will commit to praying for Chickadee, you, your entire family and the Dr.'s. My high school choir just sang the following this morning

    There can be miracles, if you believe!

    @Leslie @WaistingTime @Helen @skinnysushi @Matt @MrsFatass @Christine @Anonymous @dawne-
    Thank you so much! I appreciate the thoughts, prayers and encouragement. I was pretty down this weekend, but church and you guys have really turned it around for you.

    I'll take the happy dance @MrsFatass, and I'm glad the skirts on it's way Nonny Mouse. <3<3<3

    I will pray for you and your family. It's tough, as a mom especially, to not be able to snap your fingers and fix it.

    Hang in there....

    Thinking and sending you positive thoughts.

    Maybe grind up some fattening poptarts or chocolate cake?? (KIDDING!!!!! Ick!) Did the nutritionist suggest any particular types of fat you can add to the meals? Coconut oil (the good virgin stuff) is like a wonder fat and aids digestion. It helps (tremendously) a friend of mine who has chrons. It tastes good, too. Here is hoping for a good and speedy solution without a whole lot more medical intervention.

It's Here

We got the moving truck rather unexpectedly. It's more expensive than Mr. Survival planned, so we're doing a lot of lifting, cardio, and squats. No. We're not doing the bootcamp in a trailer. We ARE moving things to the new garage, since we can't move in yet, but they're being kind enough to let us dump in a storage manner. Sorry. I'll have to beg your forgiveness and promise to update you. Eventually.

I Found True Happiness

It feels like I've become a detached voice, writing but not feeling on this blog.  I'm living a lot of things that don't fit neatly into my bloggable ownership file. Even now, I've spent an hour with this tab open to write a new post and I've done absolutely everything else possible.  For once I can't put a finger on what I'm feeling.  I don't fit into any definable box. On one hand, I'm spending an hour in therapy with Chickadee and another hour round trip three times a week. Mr. Survival is fighting off unemployment blues. We cannot shake things up and have me go to work. I'm not going to go to FitBloggin'11 . But, on the other hand, Chickadee is STANDING in the stander for minutes instead of seconds! Chickadee is grasping things momentarily for the first time in eighteen months. I'm so in love with Mr. Survival it's unbelievable. We are tighter as a family than we ever have been. I'm stressed and frustrated.  I...

Flying With Concrete

Today I wanted to write about my dreams. Full of hope and bliss and fulfillment. Yeah, I sound about as light as a bucket of cement. Ready to fly away. Hang on, while I toss out the top of the pile. Maybe that will help me find my lofty aspirations. Nope. Thing is, I'm remembering today that I'm afraid of heights. Really. Once Hubbend made me climb up three stories of scaffolding. Broke it all down for me and left me no other choice. Made me feel irreplaceable. Yes, we must remember that I am crazy friends. Leave it to me to feel important by being told to go up a towering structure of death. I did it though. And I even wired a speaker while I was up there. But I'm still afraid of heights. So. Do you wanna help me out today? For every comment that tells me something someone wants to be able to do that they can't do now I will do one minute of exercise. Really. Because of my child care situation, it will have to be tomorrow morning. So have at it. ...
