Ummm... "Refreshing Ice" ?!?!
Is Kwik Trip kidding?
(Or just idiotic)?
hehehe
Personally, I am quite tired of "Refreshing"
(And yes, we have had some fluffy white 'refreshment' overnight).
And I think that little bit broke the record for all time seasonal snowfall
NOT THAT I CARE!

Good Morning ALL;

I remain completely moved by those of you that have taken of your time and hearts to leave comments and notes for us; to offer your prayers and thoughts, and to share of your own lives and experiences.
And I also know it is asking a lot, but please keep 'em coming! We enjoy all of your thoughts.

I have no more news than I had the last time I wrote.

Casey remains hospitalized in severe pain, seemingly uncontrolled by her meds.
She still has bouts of nausea too.
She had the Froedtert ordered CT Scan of her pancreas yesterday morning. The doctor reported within a few hours back to her.
(And yes, we are in Green Bay at this time; she will transfer to Froedtert when they have a solid plan for her).
Yesterdays CT Scan showed nothing out of the ordinary.
(While that is always a good thing, it only further confounds the mystery of her illness too).

And it is very disheartening to STILL be hearing "we do not know" ...
1. what is causing this...
2. what the answers are...
3. what the cure may be...

...after two years of this for her.

Personally, I would have her rechecked for CF. That would explain many, many of her symptoms and illnesses.
I do not know if there are many false negatives for that sweat test she had.
(But you can count on the fact that I will find out).

Miss Punk seems to be alright; although the discharge from her eye seems to be changing to a yucky color indicative of infection. Not sure if this is normal- I have been putting her gentamicin eye drops in religiously. I will call Dr. Spires early today and see what he says. There is not a lot of discharge, but what is there is raising a flag for me.

As for myself... As of last Saturday morning, my middle back has been killing me. This is a first for me. I have a touch of arthritis in my lower back, and the neck pain too. But my mid back has always been fine.
I attributed it to the fact that I was probably shaking like a leaf while I drove The Punk to the vet the day before, and then sped off to get Casey to the clinic too. And I don't think that shaky feeling went away til I fell asleep that night...

Upon waking on Saturday, it felt as though I had been kicked in the middle of my back... And it has had the nerve to get progressively worse. What the hey???

He might be hiding now,
but I swear, as soon as I find that jackass that kicked me
I shall send his smug sorry soul straight to the soap factory too!
hehehe

But isn't he cute!

I'd better close for now- Casey has just called, and has received both bolus on her pain meds and her phenergan and still has terrible pain and nausea. She said not to come up though as she does not want to wake Greg who is alseep in the fold out chair in the room.

I feel so very impotent...

Love to you

XOXO

  1. What a God-awful mess. You feel impotent, I feel helpless. Will continue to pray for your entire household.

    Take it to the Lord and leave it there is all well and good, but dang it all, we're human. Casey needs to be free of this crap.

    hugs and much love
    Donna
