kidlet has been doing amazingly well. she ventures out on her own without serious hesitation. she's being creative. happier. step by step, life is getting better. we understand this is a long term adventure but she is captain of her ship these days and it is oh.so.very.good to see.
and then the phone call. the numbers from her blood test are off. a second test proves it was not a glitch. her kidney function is not as it should be, neither is her thyroid. the probable culprit? Lithium.
we just got the referral to a nephrologist and are waiting for one for an endocrinologist. in the meantime, her primary care physician wants in on the action. as i rattled off dates for her, she looked up and said, "Mom, I see more of my doctor's than I do my friends." true dat.
monday, she has an appointment with the good doctor. it will be their 10th anniversary together, so kidlet has special ordered a cake for the occasion and will waltz it into her office at 10:50 a.m. gotta love this new attitude!
once again, what goes up must come down. we've had enough of this roller coaster. could we please trade it in for a new little Toyota Tundra for kidlet????

About Me
- jeanne
- i'm a 75 year old empty nester. i'm still rebuilding my life without my best bud, the love of my life, the 9TS, but things are never dull. and on a side note: my kidlet has found a permanent roost and is flying free.
and because I can't help myself. my PSA for today and everyday: get yourself checked. make an appointment with a dermatologist. go. slather on the sunscreen. stay out of noon day sun. melanoma is a tricky beast who strikes without rhyme or reason. do it for yourself. do it for your family. just do it!
