Ron's lesions aren't healing on the increased amount of prednisone they put him on, so we don't know what they are going to do next. I've e-mailed his doctor and should hear back from her later today. I have no idea what they'll try next. Not only aren't the lesions healing, it appears that they are spreading. And his memory just seems to be getting worse and worse. Sometimes, ok, a lot of the time, I feel like the mother to 3 children right now. I feel so freaking helpless about everything right now, not to mention hopeless.
We also heard from the state yesterday and we've lost un-employment for Ron. Matter of fact they want us to pay them back $344 we were supposedly overpaid. You know the old saying, "when it rains, it pours." We're going to send in the form that says we can't pay it back because it would be a hardship. We're also appealing the ruling against us, but hold out little hope. Trying to figure out a way to pay bills and manage to make sure the kids receive at least a token visit from Santa. They'll get presents from friends and family, but there's nothing like waking up Christmas morning and discovering that Santa has been here. Only one of my kids still believes, but the one who doesn't has vowed not to ruin it for his little sister. *Sigh* Something will work itself out, it always does, but right now I really just want to crawl into my bed and never get out. Someone today told me," what doesn't kill us leaves us battered and bruised." I prefer the stronger part myself, but am definitely feeling the previous more than the latter.
Thanks for listening to my pity party again. It seems as if I never have anything good to report. Although, that's not entirely true. I actually have a job, which the state of things here in Michigan is something to be extremely grateful for and it pays relatively well too. The kids are doing very well in school and got very good reports from their teachers. Never knew that Soph was a math and science whiz, but now that I know I am going to encourage her in any way I can. Btw, anyone listening to the new Duran Duran CD, the song "She's Too Much" describes her to a T. :) Alex is just too smart for his own good, but his teacher adores him and said he is a joy to have in class and a total bookworm, (Just like his parents.) The two cats, Smokey and Abby are getting on remarkably well and the children and I are in relatively good health, even if I want to go voluntarily have myself locked up for a few weeks good rest. I'm telling you, if I were Brittney or Lindsay, I'd go to rehab and never want to leave. Nice extended vacation sounds good all around. Hope everyone is having a better week than mine. (Big hugs all around)
