TODAY I GOT INTO A TERRIBLE ACCIDENT....

Aug 30, 2010 06:25pm (EST)

My van rolled over at least twice with me and thank GOD only me in it today. I was on the outskirts of Colton going to visit a friend and hit a rough patch of gravel, and over corrected myself, and hit a metal fence post and side air bag went off and I landed on my wheels. And how bad it was I didn't even have ONE broken bone, sore, HELL YEAH'S, but THANK YOU GOD FOR LOOKING OUT FOR ME AND SEAT BELTS DO SAVE LIVES the sheriff said I probably would have been ejected if I wasn't wearing one and it probably would have rolled on me!! And thank you first responders you are my heros!! And the ironic part of today is 21 years ago today my mother died of breast cancer at the age of 33 I was 4 when she died, so I definately think there is some one up there that is helping God to protect me and my family!!!!

UPDATE ON MARK JR.'S HEARING SCREENING....

Aug 21, 2010 08:24am (EST)

M.J. is NOT HEARING IMPARED!! School of the deaf in Sioux Falls said it is just fluid. We knew there was fluid so, they went behind the fluid(area) and put some sort of transmitting took it behind his ear, so the tech/operator knew it was that little bit of fluid. So Mark Sr. took him to Klenijan chiropractor, he came home 1/2 later barfed (weird I know) but he is starting to respond better tonight, the chiropractor helped YES!! THANK YOU LORD!!

WORRIED ABOUT MY SON'S HEARING....

Aug 12, 2010 12:19pm (EST)

Just so you all know everyone, Mark Sr. and I are taking Mark Jr. to the school of the deaf in Sioux Falls for more screening he "might"need a hearing aid we don't know until than he does hear better out of his left ear than his right and the dr. recommended we learn basicsign language and talk alot or a bit louder to ...him. Also the doctor said tubes in his ear would not help the situation, anyone else have to deal with this??
Love and Hugs,

MY OBS PA RAN BLOOD WORK ON WHY I HAVE MISSED THE LAST COUPLE PERIODS....

Aug 06, 2010 07:00pm (EST)

I have a HIGH TSH reading, great what can make my freaking weekend worse, anyone deal with this before? And how did the Dr. deal with it? Also I have been dealing with constant nausea(provera) and I have been losing way to much weight to fast so everyone (including me, I never thought I would say that after being damn near 180 at 34 weeks and 4 days with Miss Irelynn!!) anyone else have to deal with this issue, there is also thoughts that might have been a culprit in my misscarriage 5 months ago!?!? And if further testing I am sure will happen on my throid function COULD BE THE REASON FOR ALL MY PLACENTAL ABRUPTIONS, God I hope that in a way could be that cause I could just take Synthroid or someother med in my future or possibly future pregnancies to stop this constant cycle of subchorionic hematomas that later turn into abruptions of the placenta!!!!

A POEM FOR ALL US MOMMIES OF ANGELS....

Jul 22, 2010 08:34pm (EST)

The Dragonfly Story

Down below the surface of a quiet pond lived a little colony of water bugs. They were a happy colony, living far away from the sun. For many months they were very busy, scurrying over the soft mud on the bottom of the pond they did notice that once in awhile on of their colony seemed to lose interest in going about. Clinging to the stem of a pond lily it gradually moved out of sight and was seen no more. "Look!" said one of the water bugs to another. "One of our ccolony is climbing up the lily stalk. Where do you think she is going?" Up, up, up it slowly went....Even as they watched, the water bug disappeared from sight. Its friends waited and waited but it didn't return....

"That's funny?" said one water bug to another. "Wasn't she happy here?" asked a second...."Where do you suppose she went?" wondered a third.

No one had an answer. They were greatly puzzled. Finally one of the water bugs, a leader in the colony, gathered its friends together. "I have an idea" The next one of us who climbs up the lily stalk must promise to come back and tell us where he or she went and why."
"We promise", they said solemnly.

One spring day, not long after the very water bug who had suggested the plan found himself climbing up the lily stalk. Up, up, up, he went. Before he knew what was happening, he had broke through the surface of the water and fallen onto the broad, green lily pad above. When he awoke, he looked about with surprise. He couldn't believe what he saw. A startling change had come to his old body. His movement revealed four silver wings and a long tail. Even as he struggled, he felt an impulse to move his wings....The warm the of the sun soon dried the moisture from the new body. He moved his wings again and suddenly found himself up above the water he had become a dragonfly!!

Swooping and dipping in great curves, he flew through the air. He felt exhilarated in the new atmosphere. By and by the new dragonfly lighted happily on a lily pad to rest. Then it was that he chanced to look below to the bottom of the pond. Why, he was right above his old friends, the water bugs! There they were scurrying around, just as he had been doing some time before.

The dragonfly remembered the promise. "the next one of us who climbs up the lily stalk will com back and tell where he or she went and why." Without thinking, the dragonfly darted down. Suddenly he hit the surface of the water and bounced away. Now that he was a dragonfly, he could no longer go into the water....

"I can't return!" he said in dismay. "At least, I tried. But I can't keep my promise. Even if I could go back, not one of the water bugs would know me in my new body. I guess I'll just have to wait until they become dragonflies too. THen they'llunderstand what has happened to me, and where I went."

And the dragon fly winged off happily into its wonderful new world of sun and air........

THANK YOU GOD, for the storty of the water bugs and the dragonflies.

Please Remember NOAH who left the we live in and never forget but remember me....
P.S. I have a picture I am pretty much back to my pre-pregnancy weight which is about 108 to about 113-115lbs!!!! With no stretch marks cept on my thighs and I cannot really even notice them anymore. I was 179 practically 180 day of c section so I am so proud of myself, all I had to do is try and not buy junk food especially chocolate LOL!! Hope really you are well in share land!! )

SCARED AND NERVOUS....

May 18, 2010 01:01pm (EST)

First comes first sorry for my lack of updating everyone is doing fine with the exception of my issues with my son and his lack of verbalization.
I forgot a large chunk of why we are bring him to get seen as well here it is:

I will take him to avera here first and if further testing is needing we will be taking him to Sanford, he also doesn't startle with pots and pans dropping and the vaccum going I pray maybe it is just fluid behind or in his inner ear and tubes or something can help, my nephew had tubes in his ears and after that he seemed to catch up with verbal skills quickly if I remember correctly.
I am going to bring M.J. in to the Dr.'s next Thursday, we strongly think he might have a hearing problem because he is almost two and barely says dada....Please pray for him *Tears* : (!!
P.S. The photo below is of My gold necklace I got for mother's day and my baby rememberence ring for Noah bean, Sanford Hospital in Sioux Falls(best one in South Dakota) gave me!!

THINKING OF YOU NOAH AND YOU, MOM, DEMETRA...

Apr 11, 2010 08:27pm (EST)

Mark Sr. and I are not great terms as of late. I am so depressed all I wanna do is sleep. He calls me a lazy piece of crap I guess he is right it is easier to say lazy than, I am in morning for my Noah bean. I just wish my momma Demetra was here so I could wrap my arms around you and just cry like my girls do when they are sad or hurt, I and I kiss it and make it better. Mark just is right, that is why and how I get through the tough "lazy" days. Why can't he understand some days are harder than others. I know my "scab" will open and seep some, but eventually I pray soon but, I know it will take longer for my scab to "scar" up. But, God help me I just want rainbow and happiness and puppy dog and new "house dreams " someday but, as of today it feels will never come. So I will listen to music and make me cry and I will cry my self to sleep.

FEELING SAD AND DEVISTATED.... :(

Mar 15, 2010 03:40am (EST)

So tonight has been pretty rough for me in the ways of missing my baby my teeny tiny baby, but there are women who never get to have children let alone healthy ones. So I feel like I have no right to bitch and mope about the what ifs and could have beens. I just am thankful for my heathy children even though all but one, my first Jayden was born without problems. So you all are thinking I am selfish to wish or think about the possiblity of another little one to run through our future house, not trailer house, cause I want that one thing for all my children and possiblity of another one, the space and places to play out side seem so much fairer to the other children who are here with me now. So once again I will lay in sarrow and pray for peace in some way that God can forgive a sinner like me.

"THE LITTLE SOUL, THAT STOLE A BIT OF MINE, FOR THE SHORT TIME I HONESTLY THOUGHT YOU WERE MINE, GOD SAW THE OPPOSITE...."

Mar 12, 2010 12:05am (EST)

Well I am here with great sorrow in my heart that I had a large hematoma, larger than I ever had in anyof my pregnancies that I started bleeding and passing large clots, they told me (er) that the baby was still alive on Sunday morning hb of 121 bpm., but my Noah bean yes I named the baby that cause i like it as a gender neutral name l feel like you are closer to me by you having a name. And it helps to talk to him.her about how sad I am. I was really weak on monday went to broookings sd er and you were still alive but my hcg were dropping and you were even closer to my cervix and from all the ultrasounds I have had with my other children I knew what to look for and what is not normal. So brookings er gave me a boulous of saline and two different types of pain meds just to take a little edge off and they used the strongest one they had i do believe. Well, I debated on getting an abortion to end your pain cause you were barely hanging on or into your gestational sac by maybe a hair, but Praise God and his merciful forgiveness I never choose to do that he answered momma and dada's prayers he took you while you were snug and in my womb, and following that momm's dr. had so much compassion he cancelled and rearanged his secdule to do the d and c to stop my heavy bleeding. I never thought this would happen to me....all I can say why why why . Sorry for such a long novel, I was guesstimated you were 6 weeks and 4 days roughly at the ultrsound when we could no longer see that beautiful flicker of you teeny tiny heart that took my breath away broke my heart just the same if not more so. I am so sorry momma's body is crap. Sorry for the long blog thank you for anyone who reads this and I wish you all healthy and happy babies I will still be on the boards and such but I need to work on my grief and spending time with my 4 blessings from God!!!! *tear*
