Your my rock!!! I am really flustered tonight
 

Hello, they say when things are going good. Sometimes its just too good.
That must be what happened in my life today.

About 9:15 am I received a phone call from Derrick about him having
a Seizure. I picked him up at 10:00 am, it took me a while to get
to him. Well I did as you know.

I was headed home, and at the gas station we had stopped for a pop.
I didn't get it when he was telling me not only was the left side numb,
which is not unusual. But so was the right side going by the time
we got home. And his back. Then came the part I've never heard
before.

Mom, how long will this hurt. I asked what he meant. He told me
it was hurting everywhere. So we headed start to the hospital
and spent about 3 hours and 1/2 there. His dilanitin was sub zero
low. I am not sure but that doesn't sound good to me.

He got IV dilantin and pills both. Now I'm a little upset they didn't
write the amounts down for me. I expected it to be on the
paperwork. I had to go get something to eat, my diabetes was
acting up.

Donna :hug::grouphug:

I'm so sorry to hear about this episode, Donna. Poor Derrick! :( I wonder how his levels got so low.

How is he doing now?

I will be in the air all of tomorrow so might not reply, but will get back online possibly over the weekend. Meanwhile, I send him well wishes. And you, of course.

:hug::hug::hug:

oh donna, how scarey.
wonder why his lab was so low?
I am glad that you got him safely there and that they were able to help him hopefully in quick order.
((((HUGS))))

That is the question. I've never heard it be so low. I will be calling
the neurologist tomorrow. I hope he gets the results fast.

Donna,

What a day you had!

I hope that the neuro can help Derrick.

Keep taking care of yourself.

Mari

How is Derrick?

I hope that you and your family are well. :grouphug:

We are doing okay here. Derrick is feeling somewhat better.

Hubby is out working the extra job today. And me well I have
a mess of a cough. I've been doing my asthma treatments.

Hello everyone

Derrick is headed back to the place he is staying while going to school.
We will wait to see how he does this week. His strength is still
not back I can tell.

Donna :hug::grouphug:

I wish him good luck this week. I hope he continues to get stronger.

Mari

Me too.

My grandson has been on fall break and spent the weekend with his other
grandma. And today. Yah, I still haven't felt the best. But am hopefully
getting better.

Now if I could just solve the problem of someone he could spend a few
hours with before school starts next Monday and Tuesday while I
will be out of town for our Volunteer Conference and Inservice.

Ugh, we just need to locate some alternatives. But I know with
his dad having to be at work at 6am its not helping.

I did ask my husband if he would either go in about 1 hour late.
Or take the days off, put his grandson on the bus. And then work
on taxes. Still waiting for a answer.

Donna :hug::grouphug:

Well we had snow, not sticking of course. But with that and the
wind and sleety rain. We had a awful looking halloween out there.

Derrick did not get to set up his table. His choice to start with
a finish of me agreeing. He did take some of his treats to the
workers around town that he enjoys and knows. For their kids.

We also ran across some kids at Dollar General and got to give
some of them some too. It made his day.

I had posted on Facebook, that if they knew where we lived to
stop by. Because he wasn't going to get to set up his table.
We had 3 different sets stop by. WHich is not usual for us at this
house. We usually get none. Because we have a light that
only comes on with things or people at our house.

Donna :hug::grouphug:

Donna,

That is crummy weather for Halloween when people want to be out and about.

'Good that you were able to give away the candy the next morning.

Mari :grouphug:

Donna,

You seem to be the one keeping track of people and making sure that they are where they need to be.

You could be a taxi driver or a tour conductor.

I wish you were a foreman too so that you could line everyone up
and tell them what they need to be doing so that you can
keep things working out for everyone.

Take care. :grouphug::grouphug::grouphug:

Mari

Heehee, I would not make a good taxi driver.
Reason I'm direction-ally challenged. I got lost in Indy last weekend
trying to get to the hotel, then the place we were going on Tuesday.

I'm sure that if the directions had been a little better I would have done
better. But I also didn't like the fact we were at the hotel with 4 hotels
all Marriott's. And the idiot at the front desk didn't even look up
my name. And sent me to another, when I was at the right one.

Donna :hug::grouphug:

Yesterday we went to Bowling at Crawfordsville. Both boys had a great
time. Will got a second and wont go to state because he was bowling
in a Ramp lane. But that is okay.

Then I saw very little of Derrick's games. But will hopefully get to
watch at Indy. He also got a 2nd. He bowled with 2 of his teammates
and another. And I guess they were so close the top three. Him
and his teammates, any of the three could have been first, second and
third. Only 1st and 2nd go on. So I am kind of glad the 3rd place is
the girl that is going to National Games. Because I guess she is headed
to another state for practice that weekend, on Sunday. So she will
not mind missing as much. If my Grandson had made State I might
have seen if she could be his helper.

Donna :hug::grouphug:

Hi, Donna,

I hope that you and the men in your life are doing well. :heartthrob:

Mari

We are doing pretty good.

Donna :hug::grouphug:

Donna,

I think about Will the most. He is so lucky to have you and he seems like a nice little guy.

Mari

thanks Mari

Yep he is a nice, neat little guy. He is off to visit his other grandma and
sister this weekend. He will have fun.

Now if we could just work out were he could leave some shoes here.
Along with bringing his snow boots.
