    Keetmom, saying a prayer that your seizure was a one time only event. Sounds very scary. Thank goodness you are heading to the hospital to get checked out. Hope all checks out and you will be able to be home soon. Please keep us posted!

    Keetmom, You are still in my thoughts as I start my day. I hope that you are resting and feeling well. I also that you don't have any more seizures like that and that your medical team find a way to prevent them, if necessary. I picture your family with you giving you their support and love. We are with you in spirit, too. I hope you are home soon.

    Hugs and prayers from, Lynne

    Aubrie and me after her first performance in Aristocats,Jr. she was a country dog in the play.

    Acacdeme Musique in Temple, TX puts on the most elaborate plays ever. 57 kids went to camp on Monday and put on a show the next Saturday. Ages 8 to 12 years of age. You would think they had been practicing for months. This is Aubrie’s fourth play. It’s kinda her thing. Love this girl.

    Ill try to post the pic again later. Michel I'm am so happy they found a place. The relationship will get better, now. Space is so important for healing.

    Keetmom. Are you better now? I sure hope so. Have you ever had seizures before?

    Micmel, I am happy that you DD has found an apartment. Although she will always be your little girl, she is a married woman now, and it is time for her to begin her new life. Yes, you will miss her in spite of all the turmoil she has caused recently, but your time of raising her is over, and now you can relax. I know how hard it is to see your child leave the nest, but it is as much a part of parenting as feeding, clothing, nurturing, and guiding young children are. Once you you adjust to all this, you will find some benefits. Your stress level will be greatly reduced, your house will be cleaner and quieter, your power bill will come down, and on and on. Your relationship with your DD will change and develop into something different, but that is not a bad thing. I hope you both stay in touch and see each other, but don't expect it to be every day. She has her life to lead, and even if it isn't the life that you wanted for her, it is her choice. Try to be happy that she has found love and trust her to find the right path eventually.

    Bigbhome, It was nice to see you pop in. I am still worried about you and you DH, of course. I hope you give us an update when time permits, but I know you are busy now. Sending prayers and hugs for both of you.

    Grannax, Your granddaughter sounds talented. It is amazing how quickly all the children learned their parts in the play. I am lucky if I remember my own name these days. I am afraid that I would never be able to memorize lines and songs for a performance. I love it when children find something that they enjoy doing. I like the picture. Did you give her the roses?

    I hope we hear something from Keetmom soon. I realize that we are not a priority right now, nor should we be. I am just concerned about her.

    Gracie, We miss you. I hope you are okay.

    Hugs and prayers from, Lynne

    Hi ladies ~ I amGoing to call her phone later today or text to see if her DH has her phone. I don't want to bother anyone who needs resting time and or family moments. I am also worried been worrying about her all night.

    Thanks for the well wishes about them finding an apartment i am excited for them. She has already asked to have dinner on Wednesday's with my DS and I. That made me feel better. So hopefully things will call down. Even further once they are gone. I will have more peace and quiet for sure. Love you all

    Granna. Thank you for sharing that beautiful picture and I absolutely love it. I love how this thread gives me such happiness to enjoy your grandchildren through you all much love. ~M~

    Great news about the apartment Micmel.

    It will give everyone some breathing space. And you and DH so desperately need your time together.

    DD will someday see the light about all that has gone on.

    She can't live in denial for ever.........

    So they did an mri at ER last night it was stable, the gave me a huge dose of steroids which made me feel better and put me on Keppra which is an anti seizure drug waiting for a call from my Dr. To find out how much dex I need to take daily.

  • Grannax2
    Grannax2 Member Posts: 2,387

    keetmom. So, they don't think it was caused by the mets? Stable is good to hear. Daily Dex, ugh, I do hope it makes you feel better and the SE are tolerable. And, no more seizures, please.💞

    thank goodness you're checking in thank you. !! Wow you must be wiped out. We love you my friend. Rest up and lots of water andstable is wonderful !! Much love ~M~

    Keetmom, thank you for letting us know how you feel. Stable sounds very good. Ask your doctor for CBD canabisoil if medical marijuana is allowed. I heard helps better than medication

    MicMel, YAHOO! Finally they are moving out! I think, it's easier to fix your relationship with her if she doesn't live with you. Get together, eat, talk and laugh and everything will look back to normal. You need peace and not a war! I understand you so good, because at some point my relationship with one of my DD was similar. We both learned a lot to compromise. Love. Ele na.

    Blueshine, GP, Grannax~ thank you so much. It's already less tense. Just everyone knowing. I can tell you what though. She has already chimes in things like. Wow I'm used to living in such a nice house. That hallway leading up to our apartment is spooky. So slowly I think her eyes are opening slowly. I mean exceptionally slowly. I am cautious now about his parents. They are coming on very strong. Before SIL decided to come back to the JW.... they wouldn't even say hello to him in a store. Now they are offering couches and furniture and all kinds Of things. After they kicked their own son out. I'm just amazed. We wanted them to go, because there was no respect for us and because They need to contribute, it was clear they didn't like that at all. Now onto reality!! Thanks for the advice and well wishes.. you ladies are my second family. ~M~

    did you guys know that If you decide to delete your account from bco. Everything you posted disappears?poof.... gone. Even threads that the member has started. So if any of you ladies are worried about your privacy and would ever choose to do that. It can be done. But never recovered. I found that a nice option for a personal choice or wish. I just learned that today!

    Mae~ I'll bring the chairs. She's already asking about air conditioning units. Poor kid. Soon will get it thoroughly,

    i read an article that when they get ready for leaving the nest sometimes they freak out inside because they are scared. It's new terrain for her. Maybe it can only help our relationships. I love them both so much. My son and Dd are my babies forever. Dss included with out a doubt. I hope things calm down. DH is planning to spend some prolonged Time up here with me soon to paint some Rooms in the house. To keep it ready to sell whenever that may be. He said talking like a month. That makes me thrilled.. i hope he can make it happen. That's a long time to be off of work. Who would want to ever go back

    Hope everyone is enjoying the nice weather

    Much love ~M~

    Keetmom, Thank you for giving us the update. I am relieved that the MRI showed stable results. The anti-seizure medication will help. Try to get some rest today. You must be exhausted.

    Micmel, Is it possible to delete your account without assistance from the mods? I only ask because I remember a couple of years ago when Bon had her account deleted. She requested it through the mods and insisted that all her posts be deleted, too. She had posted some very helpful information, and it was all lost to everyone here. I wonder if Bon knew she could have just deleted her own account and all her posts without the Mods' help. Hmmm. Good to know.

    Hugs and prayers from, Lynne

    50's~I think you're correct the mods have to be involved, they are the ones that have to do it. But once gone. It's gone. Sometimes Facebook you can deactivate and then re activate it again. If you change your mind. I like both ideas. hope you're well today!

    Keetmom~ hope you're resting.

    Much love ~M~

    Keetmom, I echo the thoughts of the other ladies here and say that I’m happy your MRI was stable! Scary stuff! The medication should help to make sure you never have to go through that again. Hope you are resting, it is my understanding that seizure activity really wipes a person out.

    This is the most difficult emotional topic I deal with in my stage IV breast cancer diagnosis. This is also a topic I cannot find information about - too painful and real to share I guess. My husband and I met young in college ( I was almost 18) and we just celebrated 38 years of marriage but we have been together for 42 years. We always thought we would grow very old together. We have one adult daughter, an awesome son-in-law and two delightful grandchildren. It is very painful for me to imagine my husband being alone and lonely but I also find it extremely painful to think of another woman getting my life. I have images and thoughts of him sharing family events with someone else and it causes so much emotional pain. I get very angry about this situation and it just doesn’t seem fair. My treatment is going well right now and I am very capable - we travel, do a lot with family and friends, and continue to create many happy memories together. My husband assures me he does not want anyone else in his life, hopefully better treatment and maybe a cure will come along soon and it won’t be an issue, but if not I realistically cannot imagine him being alone for thirty years. Such a hard topic to discuss and if you are not in this situation others just can’t understand what I am going through. There are so many layers to this topic. I get help from my counselor but I still struggle with this.
