Playing Catch Up.

So yesterday we spent the whole day at home. Which admittedly felt pretty good after all the running we did the day before. Things here at home were getting out of hand. Amazing how everything runs wild when you are gone for a day. Dishes, laundry, toys, everything piles up to an unbelievable degree. To say that it looked like a tornado went through would not be an exaggeration. I still can't figure out how we end up with so much laundry to do in two days. It's truly unbelievable.

So I did make phone calls about Hunter, I contacted the pediatrician and his psychiatrists office again. I let them know about him getting no sleep because of frequent urination. The pediatrician's office called me back after 5 hours or so to tell me that all his symptoms could be explained by a urinary tract infection. (Who knew UTI's could cause hallucinations? This was Aaron and I's source of much humor last night. Yes, our pedi is an idiot). I made an appointment to take him in today for a urinalysis. The nurse for the psychiatrist's office made notes to his file, since we are going in today for an appointment to see the doctor. I'm still worried it may be a resurgence of his diabetes incipidus from his infancy. I'm anxious to hear the results of the blood tests done on Monday. I hope they will have the results back by this afternoon.

Hunter was still hallucinating yesterday, although he seemed much more together and stable. He is still having migraines and diarrhea. I'm very concerned that there is something physically wrong. He made a teddy bear from his scrap fabric for Tristan, that took up most of his morning. Then he helped me make muffins and he made oatmeal raisin cookies. I managed to get a little laundry and cleaning done. Giovanna finally pooped (yay!) and she is sure that the dime came out. I hope so, although I didn't see it. Being a mom can sure be gross at times. :)

It was storming all day and warm outside. Aaron was very concerned that there were going to be tornadoes last night so I found all the flashlights and tried my best to prepare. To be honest I feel very much like the walking dead, I think the time change and all that has been going on with Hunter this week haven't agreed with me. I haven't been able to sleep, in addition I've weaned off of the muscle relaxer that I've been taking at night for the last 7 years. It had stopped being effective so the pain clinic doc decided instead of switching it to a different dosage or med, we would try it without. He worries about me being drowsy during the day, which is a valid concern as I am frequently drowsy during the day. However, not getting any sleep at night isn't exactly helping that problem! I haven't been able to exercise for a little over a week and that isn't helping me at all. I need to take the time to do it for myself. When I'm upset about one of the kids is usually when I stop exercising and gain weight from stress eating. I'm falling right back into my same old trap again. :( This morning I'm going to work out before anything else. I haven't even had the energy to take off my makeup for the last two nights, I'm bottoming out.

I've decided to keep the kids home today. I would have to pick them all up at 10 anyway so I don't see the point. I hate for them to miss (especially Dakota) because it's so hard for him to catch up, but I don't really have an alternative with the way the appointment times are laid out today. It's going to be a full day, but I hope to goodness that it's productive. I'm really worried about Hunter, the whole situation is so overwhelming at this point. Surely we will get some answers today, I hope. There has to be a reason behind these spells. I pray we will get the answers soon, because it's so hard for all of us and I don't want him to have to deal with this as an adult. He's really come so far it's so hard to watch him have any setbacks now.
