A little update on my grandson.

 It is not what they thought. It was Transverse Myelitis, what his original diagnosis was. He has irreversible spine damage. There will be more tests to come and he will be having alot more therapy than he allready has, plus pschycological counseling to learn to deal with his disabilities.

We went to the water park last night and the grandkids wore me out, but I ended up bringing two home with me for the weekend. I brought home Cody and his 4 year old sister Natasha. I will be busy so I probably wont’ be on much.

I want to thank everyone who has shown me so much concern with all of my issues this week.

I don’t know how I did it, but I lost 2.5 lbs. this week! I knew I would stress eat so packing food for work I packed lots of fruit so if I wanted to eat so bad at least it would be good for me! In the past I would never have planned ahead and I would have screwed up!

I hope everyone has a good weekend!

    I’m sorry to hear about your grandson. Now that you know for sure what it is though, you can work on getting him the help that he’ll need. Good luck with everything.

    Congratulations on the 2.5 pound loss. That’s really impressive given all that you have going on. Way to plan ahead! Keep it up!

    That is a very impressive loss ANYTIME. I am so sorry about your grandson, but it is possible to have a great life no matter what. I am sure you and his great family will help him learn and deal with whatever comes. I think bad stuff brings us together as families and I really don’t consider myselp handicapped once I have worked my way around a problem. God bless you and I know you will always be there for him. Get that weight off so you can be here longer. Love, Marge

    Well I’m glad he doesn’t have the more serious condition. I am glad that he has a loving Grandma who will always be there for him. Enjoy the kids.

    I hope all goes well for the little guy. I hope he can get all the help he needs. He’s lucky to have a grandma like you that loves him so much.

    Like always my thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. Enjoy the grandbabies this weekend (just think of it as an extra workout).
