That is great news to here Kim. Especially that she is eating better.
Sometimes it hard to listen to your moms, but eventually they come back. My kids always here from me, Moms know everything, which get a like bit of laugh. You all are still in my prayers and thoughts. Darlene

Thank you so much.
This is going to be hard for the next six months...with her herniated discs, suspected hyperthyroid, and all. It's just really going to be a rough ride. My concern is that when her back was at its worst, she really couldn't deal. It took her to a place in her mind that she wasn't ready to go, nor had the skills to deal with. She'd never really dealt with pain or serious illness, outside of cramps and once having an abcessed tooth that we got fixed. Since then, this independent, "the-world-is-mine" girl has become very anxious, afraid, panicky and clinging to mama (I had to work closely with her mentally to try to work through her pain). It started a process....her needing me to wanting that 24/7 and angry when she doesn't have it. She's become almost childlike. Well, not almost, but really is. After we see the specialist and IF things are going to be managed OK, I have to begin to teach her how to self-soothe and learn to be OK with herself again, if not OK being by herself. I will be there NO MATTER WHAT. I will go the mile. She needs to help me to do that because she's going to need me. She needs to begin to do as she can again, with mama being there for her, not with mama micro-managing and doing it all. I have news for her...she's a married woman and soon to be a mother. Bottom line, I can't add additional hurt or upset right now, but try to manipulate this so that she's wanting and doing it for herself...maybe explaining that I'm still highly involved just in a different aspect of dealing with her fears and anxieties so that she can be the young woman life is calling her to be right now. She just appears so frightened, lost, bitter and angry. That's another prayer request post, though. One I'm going to make because this has been so good for me and has helped more than y'all know. Love and so much thanks, KD

Having a solid and strong mother is probably the finest gift a child can have. She ought to know. It's right up there with having a solid and strong father. She won't be able to do anything about the father part, but she can work on providing her child with a solid and strong mother. I'll continue to keep your daughter in my prayers. |

kimmydawn,
I just found your thread or I would have posted to you sooner. I'm glad there has been some improvement for your daughter and that some of the suggestions have been helpful. I'm not sure if it was mentioned (and you might know this one anyway) but something that crossed my mind was to also have plain crackers to nibble on. When I was pregnant, I found it helpful to have some Premium Plus crackers beside my bed so I could have one or two when I woke up before I even sat up in bed. You sound very level-headed and I think you are managing things well .... Just don't forget to look after yourself too! It really does sound like you have a good understanding of what your daughter needs and how you can help her to help herself. I hope things continue to improve. My thoughts and prayers are with you. hugs

Thanks so much, ((((((((((( all )))))))))))))))
After 9 hours in ER, phenergan and 2 1/2 bags of IV fluids, she's not better at all. Maybe tomorrow? She's to call her OB tomorrow, and go back to hosp for more blood work to take to the specialist. I'm so, so, so concerned. It's like I'm watching her get weaker and sicker and nothing is helping. Continued prayers please. Love, KD

Oh gosh, I had no idea.
I actually responded on another of your threads in another forum, KimmyDawn. I had no idea how things had progressed. I've not even read this whole thread yet. I'll go do that now, but I just wanted to send my best wishes and regards for your daughter and hoping that she's feeling stronger soon. What an awful business to have to go through when you're pregnant. Thinking of you there. |

p.s. just read more. Yes, as Curious said, ginger is marvellous!
also, that clingy part that she's been doing. You know, my daughter went that way when she was ill and she needed surgery to have her kidney removed. It made her have to think about things she'd not had to face before... like life and death and in between. She'll get over that as her health situation improves, KimmyDawn. I reckon she's probably scared, and especialy scared as she's carrying a child as well. |
