Life is full of ups and downs…..
Yesterday, my grandson who is 7, had to have some medical tests. A little over 2 years ago he was very sick and spent a month in the hospital. He had transverse myelitis (I am sure I spelled it wrong) and he has a lot of neurological damage. He has therapy and has not made a lot of improvements, he has a metabalism problem and does not gain weight, he weighs only 47 lbs. He is going to be having more tests and a MRI. He already has counseling because of how this effects him mentally not being able to do things he was able to do before and now they recommend he see a pschycologist more. When my daughter in law told me this all I wanted to do was break down and cry, but I held it back because my grandson does not need to see this, but as soon as we left to come home I did. I have had a really sleepless night and trying to cope with this. They say his physical progress will probably not get any better. I know I can count on my buddies here to keep Cody in your thoughts and prayers.
I better go get ready for work! I have to keep my mind on other things to get through without falling back on my old ways of dealing with stress!
Have a good one!
I’m sorry for the bad news about your grandson. I wish you and your family all the best in the world and I hope he finds some help - medically and psychologically. Take care.
I’m sorry that you’ve had to struggle with this awful news. Stay strong! You and your family are in my thoughts.
I’m so sorry BetteJo, I’m not sure what to say other than I am here for you. I f there is anything I can do to help you through this please let me know.
Poor thing! I know your grandson is the light in your world and I know how difficult this must be for you, but hang in there. With all the medical progresses they are making these days, maybe they’ll come up with something that will help him.
As for you, you’re doing the right thing by staying busy. Things like this can lead us all to overeating, but you have the right attitude and I believe you can do this. Focus on your goal and get healthier so that you can be there for your grandson.
You’re a special lady and regardless of what he’s going through…he knows that and he loves you.
(((hugs)))
Oh…makes me so sad…biggest hugs ever for you. You are such a special nana and special friend to us all here. You can bet Cody is in our prayers, today and everyday. Stay busy and try to think positive. Its easier said then done, but we are all here for you always.
I’m so sorry to hear about your grandson. But, I know you love him just like all grandma’s love their grandkids and you will make him feel special and loved because he is. Just make that your new goal for him. That you can make him feel as normal as possible at grandma’s house. I will pray for him. God may have bigger plans for him. You just never know what lies ahead.
