These Past 6 Weeks

What have I been dealing with these past six weeks? With school, I have been dealing with trying to keep up with all my assignments and learning how to blog properly. Haha. I have never really had so much trouble before with keeping up with any assignments until real life bit me on the hind end. Trying to remember to use proper grammar is a big one for me. I am used to talking a certain way with my friends, and then I have to remember that I can not talk that way in my discussions or projects in class. I need to remember to step it up if I ever think that I am going to finish on time.

With my son, Brayden, I have been dealing with a whole lot. That is kind of making me try even harder with school to keep everything caught up. He just has so many doctors that he has to see that do not live in the same city that we live in. The good thing is that they are at least in the same state. Lol. He has just been having a lot of problems since he was born, and he has to be checked by specialists a lot. He has to see a neurologist, a neurosurgeon, a pulmonary specialist, and his regular pediatrician. When he was born, he had a blood clot found in one of his ventricles in the brain causing him to have some hydracephalus (fluid gathering up in the brain). He sees a neurosurgeon and neurologist for that. They used to think that he might need to have a shunt put in, but it is trying to get better. That happens to be a blessing. He sees a pulmonary specialist because he has asthma, acid reflux, and rsv at the moment. He will hopefully overcome all of this soon. I just have to stay positive, but it is just hard.

Something dealing with just myself is that I just had a laparoscopic assisted vaginal hysterectomy. I had a bad case of endometriosis in my uterus, and my OBGYN said that I needed to have my uterus removed. The bad thing was that I have only one child, and I am only 21 (22 next month). He wanted me to have another child, but that was just not possible for me. I could not handle another child with all the problems that I am dealing with for Brayden. He said that he understood, and he said that it was the best thing for me to get it taken out now. I am feeling so much better now. I am just glad that there is no more pain.
