Life is crazy

The last few weeks have been mind-blowing crazy. If it's not me, it's my son.

My son has cyclical vomiting which requires daily meds. If he doesn't take them, he gets violently ill and starts throwing up and can't stop until the cycle ends (this usually being when he has thrown up every ounce of fluid in his digestive system - including bile) and then he has to be hospitalized for the dehydration. We've had his disease under control for over two years, but this past September, he got sick with a bad virus. He was out of school for two weeks because of it and ever since then, his medication he's been on for five years for the cyclical vomiting is no longer working.

This school year, he's missed 40+ days of school and it's not even halfway over. I want so desperately to fix him, but I know I can't. He asked me the other day, "Mom, why can't we just be normal like everyone else?" How do you answer that?

So now begins the journey of trying to find new medication that works and enrolling him in home bound studies through his school. If he wasn't a senior, I would just pull him out of school and start home schooling him again.

We can do this - and we will overcome this hurdle.......

Please??!!
