Not what we expected

Well, where do I start. My husband has been having stomach pains for several day. Yesterday it got severe enough to take him to the emergency room. The gave him some IV fluids and pain meds. They did a CAT scan and took blood and urine. After a very long wait the doctor came in to tell us the news. He said that he couldn't explain what was causing the pain but that they had found a couple of other things. He told us that they found a nodule on the bottom of one of his lungs that could be nothing. He told us that my husbands glucose was at 290. This is way too high and that my husband has diabetes. WOW...What in the world. My husband has never had a problem with is blood sugar. He gave us some scripts and off we went.

Today we went to our regular doctor and he confirmed it. G's blood glucose was at 202, which is still too high. Now it's time for a diet and meds to help drop some weight and hopefully this will bring his sugars back under control.

Diabetes...not what we were expecting. Now it's time to figure out how to lose some weight. We are all going on a diet. I just hope we can do it.

Almost time for school...

I cannot believe it is already time for school to start. Where did the summer go? We are trying the homeschool thing this year. I will be sure to update how it is going.

My son is very excited about school. He was so depressed about the thought of going back the the public school here. Now that he knows he gets to homeschool, he cannot wait. He wants to start tomorrow but I think we are going to give it another day or two first.

I am actually glad that he doesn't have to go back to the school here too. I was getting more and more frustrated with it. He is extremely intelligent but needed some help with his handwriting. The school said for two years that they would get him a occupational therapist to help him but never did. His handwriting problems also caused problems with the rest of his work. I have already purchased books and lessons to help him out. Of course this was just one of the issues.

The new ADHD stuff seems to be working well. There is one problem with it though...Gavin hates the taste. We are trying different options with it for now. I am thinking about crushing it and putting it in some yogurt. It's a chewable, so crushing it is okay.

I am now in the process of trying to find work. I lost my job of 6 years and I am not sure we can make it without some type of secondary income. I am trying to find something part time or online. Right now that is not easy. I am keeping my fingers crossed that something will come up soon. I have my hearing on my unemployment appeal next Monday. If that goes well it will help tremendously. We shall see....

Until next time...caio!
