Blah Blah Blah, it's Tuesday

It's another one of those days. Some days are better than others and some make me question my sanity lol. Emma has had a good week so far...knock on wood. I talked to her doctor's office today and they should be calling me sometime this week to schedule her sleep study..that should be fun. That is just one step closer to hopefully getting to the bottom of whatever keeps making her sick. One more test is one more thing we either find out is the problem or that we can check off of our list. Anyway, on a personal note....how do you let things go? Like issues you have with stuff that has happened in the past or whatever it may be? I'm apparently having a harder time than I thought and not really sure which steps to take to get over it so it doesn't interfere with my happiness. Oh well, maybe it's just me not feeling the best these last two days or maybe it's just stress...who knows?! I will update whenever I know more about what is going on with Emma's testing..in the meantime, please just keep my little family in your thoughts and prayers! Thanks!

Test Results...

Well, I talked to one of the nurses at Emma's doctors office today and she said that all of Emma's test results came back ok. She couldn't "officially" tell me that but I'm taking her word for it. So, while I'm very happy that she doesn't have Lupus, RA, or any immune system abnormality it still leaves me wondering .... what is wrong with her? So, now I just wait on her doctor to call and schedule another appointment and we will go from there I guess. The last visit when we were discussing all of the tests he wanted done he had suggested a sleep study. I'm assuming that will probably be next since all of her "flare ups" only happen at night time after she has went to sleep. He doesn't know if something is causing issues in her upper airway once she goes to sleep so we will see. Another option is sending her to an ID doctor which is an Infectious Disease doctor to see if they can offer any different suggestions. Emma's pediatrician also happens to be an Immunologist so he wants to exhaust all of his efforts first before sending her to someone else which I'm very thankful for. So, I guess we are kind of back to step one...hopefully something turns up soon and if anyone has any advice/suggestions please feel free to leave me a comment. Thanks! :)

Title Change...

As you can tell I changed the title of my blog. I had my reasons but mainly because I think I'm just going to gear this blog moreso towards Emma and all of the issues we deal with on a regular basis. I am just tired of putting my personal life out there really...not like anyone cares about that haha. All that goes out of the window when you have a child. :) No one really asks how you are anymore or how your day is or any of that good stuff....lol. It's all about that baby and that's ok because to be honest, once you become a parent, your main concern is your child too. You hardly ever think of yourself and that's ok because that's what good parents do in my opinion. Now, I'm not saying it wouldn't be nice to be able to go on a small vacation or shopping or something like that but those little things are nothing comared to being blessed enough to have a child. Anyway...on to the main purpose of this post. LOL. Hopefully tomorrow we will get Emma's test results back from her immune system testing and all of the other tests that were ran. Obviously I'm hoping they are normal but in a way I'm kind of hoping there are some definitive answers...this whole guessing game over the last few years is for the birds! I will definitely update tomorrow if we hear anything. Hope everyone had a great weekened!

P.S. I hate getting use to this time change! I love the time change but hate the adjustments. :)
