I'm so glad you said, you would be going right to the desk to ask that someone put the water in your cart. That made me so happy. I sure hope you did.

I'm glad the pdoc agreed with the med increase, and I sure hope it
works.

Donna

yes I too hope the med change works and is not stimulating for you.
sending positive vibes your way.
good luck!

Kay,

I hope that the gababentin helps.

I think my instinct was right... I have slowed down
I'm very tired, and probably a little sedated, but I don't care... I'm much less agitated, and am actually able to sit still for more than 5 minutes!!! Not 100%, but much better

In addition to my early morning floor cleaning and grocery shopping yesterday, I thoroughly vacuumed all the living room furniture and pillows, and vacuumed the cat condos. I have no idea how long that took me. I was exhausted, but my psycho-motor agitation was so bad I had no idea what to do with myself all day. It was SOOOOO UNCOMFORTABLE. So, today's change is very welcome.

Donna, yesterday I DID head right for customer service when I entered the grocery store to ask for help with the water, and asked for someone to help put it in my car for me, too

There are some unanswered questions about the health my cousin's baby.
My brother told me that my cousin, Heather, told him not to come visit because the baby, Bella, was in the NICU, but it was just precautionary. I don't know what time that was, but I think that was early in the day. I asked my brother, but he didn't say. My sister asked to come around 7pm, and my aunt said no because Bella was in the NICU, and they thought she had twisted bowels, but the tests for that came up negative. My sister said that my aunt was VERY upset, and didn't want to talk/text anymore, but it sounds like my aunt has been hanging on by a thread the whole time.

May God strike me down, but my concern is that my cousin has a history of opiate abuse. It's not just my concern either. I texted my other aunt, Sharon, to see what she knew (nothing at all), and it's the first question she asked. I haven't seen my cousin since Thanksgiving, but she looked good. But Mel usually confides in Sharon first, but never even told her the baby was in the NICU

I'm so worried about the little one, and I really hope that she's okay. I wish that my aunt would just tell us what's going on. My brother's tight with Heather, so he probably knows, but won't tell us.

The hospital is about 40min away. I guess I could drive there and back, but not stay long, but only if my aunt wants me to come and sit with them for a while.


It's raining cats and dogs out, and will be mostly until tomorrow morning. So yesterday, I bought Corey and I each a disposable e-cigarette so (hopefully) they will help with cravings because we won't be able to go outside very often. It will be good for me to take one out for a test drive again because I f'ing need to stop smoking!!!

sorry about your cousins baby.

Do you think it is withdrawal symptoms?

(I am not sure if this is clear thinking on my part sorry if this seems harsh or stupid on my account)



I wonder if a mother could be arrested for child abuse for an addicted baby????
just curious, anyone know?

sending prayers for the little one. when does it stop?

Bizi, that was not harsh or stupid thinking on your part. It was correct.
I think in some states, a mother may be arrested? IDK.
There are definitely custody issues.

I talked to my aunt for about 45 minutes late this morning. I guess that Bella can't keep any food down, that don't know why, and that's why she's in the NICU. All testing has come back normal, and I'm sure that they have tested her for opiate withdrawals by now.

I just heard that my cousin is being discharged, but will be staying in pediatrics tonight, and they hope that they can move Bella over there in a couple of hours if she can keep the food she ate down...

So the sun is coming out

It sounds like she may not be able to tolerate the formula's that have so far been tried. I'm hoping they are just needing to keep trying more formula's.

Sometimes an baby just can't take formula.

I'm hoping the baby starts doing better.

Donna

I guess they have been trying everything, but poor little Bella just can't keep anything down. She spent last night in the NICU again. My cousin was d/c but is staying in the hospital to be with her baby. That's all I know.

I think I have come down more, but I'm not sure...
I feel miserable this morning because I'm exhausted and took mag. citrate last night (OMG- can't wait to see the surgeon on the 28th), so that's why it's hard to tell. So, I don't know if I should increase it tonight or not. I will probably just stick with the extra 100mg vs. 200 tonight to avoid crashing.

I saw Ellen in the hallway yesterday and she thanked me for my note, gave me a hug, and told me how much it meant to her. She said she and Adam (her "husband") had talked about their partying and drinking. So, I guess I did the right thing by writing the note.

Mary was also there. Both of them said they noticed that Corey doesn't help me much. Mary asked me if he did anything lol.

I will be taking a nap very soon. I don't know why I've been fighting it.
