Well, I've been having severe pain attacks this week with my IBS...taken pain meds twice...because I wound up playing ambulance to the ER for my MIL the other day. My son had an episode in his sleep lastnight that was errily similar to his seizures, so I didn't sleep any and then got to work and found out my grandmother has had a heart attack and is in congestive heart failure and my uncle that lives with and takes care of her, was taken to the hospital at the same time with numbness on the left side of his body and they haven't found the cause. Ruled out heart attack and stroke, but no cause yet.

When it rains it pours!!! My tummy is NOT happy!! I'd appreciate your good thoughts and prayers. I have no idea what I'm facing!! Not to mention, I'm still trying to help DH over the finish line with his degree. Mercy!!

That's a lot to have going on at once!! Try and hang in there....and if you get a chance with everything happening you should take a day (or evening even) just to yourself. Have a hot bath and watch a good movie and just try to relax so your tummy feels better.

You're in my thoughts and prayers!!

I am so sorry that you are having such a tough time right now. No wonder you tummy is in an uproar. Hopefully your grandmother and uncle are getting the best care in the hospital and will soon be better. What happened with your MIL?

Is your son on meds for his seizures? I know you must be worried about him. When my son & DIL were here for Easter she had another episode of head tremor....a really bad one. My son took her to the ER and they did some more tests but there doesn't seem to be anything major wrong, which I guess is a good thing. The only diagnosis is stress. She is under a lot of stress because of her family. The doc gave her Ativan and that does seem to be helping. No more episodes since then. I gotta tell you my tummy was turned upside down during that stressful time, too. Also, I took care of my grandaughter, who is a busy little beaver, while DIL was in the hospital and that completely wore me out.

I'm sending hugs and prayers your way hoping that everything will settle down and you will get to feeling better.

Keep us posted.

you definitely have the prayers and some hugs and I'd say a nice pedicure should help do the trick! Hope things settle down soon and everyone gets back healthy. Hang in there!

No wonder your tummy is mirroring to the hand life's dealt you at the moment! That's a load. You must be in psychic hyper-drive. You're in my thoughts. I send you tons of strength. You sound like you could really use a good night's sleep.

You are all soooo sweet to me! Thank you for your kind words, thoughts and prayers. My grandmother had a good night lastnight. Her heart is only functioning at 33% after this event, so the doctors can't make any guarantee. I talked to my uncle, and he's feeling better. Very concerned over what is going on with himself, because they can't tell him why this has happened.

My mom and dad are the primary caregivers besides my aunt aunt and uncle, and lastnight my dad got really sick and my mom was up with him all night. Sooo, I may be playing hospital nursemaid this weekend! Waiting to hear how much longer the doctors plan on keeping my grandmother and whether or not my dad improves. This is getting crazy!

My son had a much better night lastnight. He has been on the same Anti seizure meds for over a year now, and we may be reaching a point that he needs a dosage increase because he is growing so rapidly. I picked up another prescription for his sinus mess yesterday, so with that we'll just have to watch him carefully for the next few days and see what develops.

I finally got a good night's sleep lastnight, and hubby found out yesterday that he has an extension on his final two projects. Sooooo, still a lot on my plate, but I'm feeling ok to deal with it. I also picked up some new meds for my tummy yesterday too, so if I get in a bind, I've got some help on hand! Whew!!

Please keep my family in your prayers as we sort all of this out! You guys are the BEST!!!!
