Frustration sets in

I haven't blogged about life in a very long time.  What I have done is a couple of live feeds on Facebook, which is fun and all but I feel like I've neglected this blog here and I really don't want to.

I exploded the other night.  You see the meds Ana takes for her colitis cause her to get backed up.  Friday she was so backed up she kept peeing everywhere.  (Because apparently the intestines push up against the bladder causing random peeing). After she peed all over the bathroom I went to her night underwear for her.

As soon as I got into the car I just started screaming.  "I am done.  I have had it with all the medical issues.  Why the heck can't my kid catch a break??"

And yes before anyone says it I know all her issues are not as bad as cancer.  But it does get overwhelming.  I try hard to  be positive and most days I do a real good job.  However if you saw what I see on my Facebook feed you would know that a little girl who is diabetic was at a sleepover last week and her blood sugar dropped so low that she ended up hospitalized and after a couple days was declared brain dead.

Her organs were donated so some good came out of it, but that is the reality of diabetes and it scares the heck out of me.

So as for Ana she finally pooped yesterday, we started a new probiotic with fiber last night and let's hope it doesn't come to what we had Friday for a while.
