Eli has been ill this week. he is had a bit of a cough, and it turned into awful sufficient that I saved him home from faculty on Wednesday. He appeared to be doing lots better Thursday and Friday, so I figured the whole thing become first-rate.
but he gave me the most important scare of my life this morning (it likely wasn't even related to the cough, though).
He turned into in the toilet, and said he needed a few help wiping. So I went in there and helped, then when i was washing my palms, he said, "My mind feels weird. I sense in reality dizzy." I failed to suppose tons of it, because i get dizzy pretty frequently, especially right when I get up, and it goes away in a 2nd or . Then i used to be helping him get his pants returned on, and he said, "My brain feels sincerely definitely bizarre" and he regarded to be off-balance.
Then I started getting worried. I tried to get him to stroll into the hallway, and he was capable of move, but he was really limp. I asked him if he was ok, and his face went absolutely white--his lips and the whole lot had been paler than i've ever visible them. He would not solution me, and he turned into simply staring off into space, like he wasn't hearing me or whatever. (All of this passed off within a couple of seconds).
As he stood, he seemed clearly unsteady, and that i notion for positive he became going to faint. I panicked, and picked him up, ran into the residing room, and sat him at the chair; then I yelled, "Jerry, get out here now!" (he changed into sound asleep), and he have to have sensed the panic in my voice, due to the fact he was up in a flash. I grabbed the smartphone to call 911, however then Eli started speakme once more.
within a couple of minutes, he became one hundred% returned to ordinary. And for the rest of the day, he's been nice. since the instantaneous risk changed into over, I didn't see any use taking him to the ER. Jerry thinks that maybe he simply sat on the toilet too long, and when he stood up, he got a head-rush. i was worried that it changed into an "absence seizure", which isn't always very uncommon, especially in kids. I recognize multiple humans whose youngsters have had them before.
i'm going to take him in to look his pediatrician on Monday, simply in case, but he looks as if he is completely great now. It turned into the strangest component. (Like mom, like son, I bet! He regarded to be feeling similar to I did before I fainted, and it turned into only a one-time freak twist of fate). however of course, I still fear.
So we manifestly did not visit the amusing run, due to the fact we were certainly getting ready to depart while the whole lot happened. I instructed the kids we might locate every other one soon and they can do it some other day. Eli requested if he could nonetheless have his medal, so I gave it to him ;)
This afternoon, I got a cellphone name from my Weight Watchers leader. I had e-mailed her about my purpose weight state of affairs, and she or he gave me a call, which changed into nice of her. I explained the whole lot to her--my weight loss, that I joined WW on line for the ultimate 20 pounds, and i need to grow to be a lifetime Member by means of dropping the final 5 kilos.
She changed into wonderful nice and failed to make me sense judged at all. She's the leader of the At-work meeting wherein Jerry works, however she also does conferences at a WW middle on Thursdays and Fridays. I determined to visit her meeting on Thursday mornings--it suits in splendid with my time table (the boys could be at faculty), and seeing that she knows my story, I might not feel quite so awkward being there that allows you to drop 5 pounds.
when you consider that this Thursday is Thanksgiving, I think i can move on Wednesday instead. however she made me feel a good deal better approximately going (i used to be a apprehensive damage); so with a bit of luck all will cross well. i am positive it will, however stuff like this causes me so much tension!
For dinner, I made one of my fall/winter favorites: cabbage casserole. all and sundry usually complains approximately the odor of cabbage cooking, however I take place to adore it! I even cherished cabbage while i was a child--specially cabbage casserole.
I did a totally brief interview on SparkPeople radio these days, in case you'd want to pay attention. you can find SparkPeople radio on iTunes or on their website. The entire section is set seven mins. I do not know how to link directly to my section, but the identify starts with Katie... so it should not be tough to find ;)
I had no idea that SparkPeople radio even existed! i am going to add all of them to my iPod in order that i can trap up on them. It hasn't been around lengthy. It took me a few minutes to discern this out, but there are "full episodes" and then segments--and they may be listed separately. so you should concentrate to the whole aspect in case you wanted, or you can simply pay attention to short segments at a time (my interview is in episode 4).
