I am glad she got some fluids. I hate it when doctors don't listen to you and I am interested to hear what the pediatrician said. I hope she is eating now and feeling better.

I am glad Bailey could hear Joseph coughing. It is easier for her to hear them because they share a wall. Since she heard him coughing she went to check on him. Glad to catch him sooner so I could get him help versus later and everything be more serious.

Yikes on Jo. I'm glad she woke you up to tell you he was having a hard time breathing. Hoping everyone will be on the mend soon.

We had a lot of fun too. It was no problem shuttling you guys around! What other good use is a 15 passenger van? LOL Thanks for letting me have Sean for awhile so he could get my brakes fixed. As it turned out my emergency brake needed work too. I was glad he caught that and fixed it for me. If my brakes had ever gone out I would have tried to use the emergency brake. In the condition it was I am not sure it would have stopped the car anytime soon. :/ So glad that was repaired! We care about you guys too. Hope to see all of you again before too long!

We had a lot of fun with you guys. Thank you for acting like a chauffeur. It was a lot of fun riding with all of us in the same car. Sean is glad he was able to fix your brakes so you could travel safely home. I am sorry for all the other problems you encountered here but I hope you know how much we care about you and James and Margaret and Joseph.

Thanks Chelsea! Hoping to get some answers.

I thought about that too. Since it has been over three months since we last saw them they do not want to give referrals. :( I will be paying the co-pays but I would rather do that than have them not go to the doctor.

Good luck Jo at his appointments. I hope they can help you figure out how to help him grow bigger. He's so cute. I can't wait to see you all soon!

Can your previous doctors from Las Vegas write the referrals to help save you a couple of copays?

2013-01-30T08:10:32.972-07:00

There are two sides to every situation. From MY point of view the relationship we had was horrible. PITA even admits to being a terrible husband to me for the last few years and was trying hard to make my life hell so I would leave. As you can imagine, being in that situation for years, is VERY trying on ANY person. Yet I stayed. I stayed even though life was horrible. I kept hoping things would change. That PITA would change and/ or go to therapy with me.

As for the name ... PITA is not bad. I definitely could have called him a lot worse. He is a pain in my a** still. Will probably always be . I am certain he could say the same for me. When I am allowed to use his name on here again I will otherwise PITA it will be.

I notice that that you are listed as anonymous. My feeling is that you are either a friend or family to PITA. He has various people in his life who read my blog. Remember that my blog is my personal view about what is happening to ME and my children. What I put in here, my opinion, my point of view, is all that is going to be represented here. If you are reading the blog for anything more than that you are going to be disappointed.

I am happy to hear there are other facts that you ...

2013-01-29T21:23:28.490-07:00

I am happy to hear there are other facts that you do not put on this blog and I hope that your relationship will work out the way God has planned. I understand there are at least 2 sides to every situation, but if I was reading your side on here it just makes it seem horrible. I sincerely hope that I am wrong in my thinking, because I cannot imagine what will happen if both of you don't work together. If you do miss him and have enjoyed spending time with him and the changes he has made to make things better, maybe PITA deserves another name on here now? Praying for you all in this situation and for God to guide you in the direction He wants this to go. Again, I wish you luck.

You are not aware of all the facts. First, there i...

2013-01-28T22:57:12.384-07:00

You are not aware of all the facts. First, there is me going to him. I work all day and then come home to the children. I take care of them all the time and I am tired. Plus the children do not travel well. Margaret in particular does not travel well. Whereas, PITA is only travelling by himself and that makes travel MUCH easier!

Second, I am truthful in my blog but ALL the facts in the blog are not ALL there is to say. I keep a LOT of information out of the blog to protect PITA and preserve his privacy. From the information posted on the blog I can see your point. If you knew ALL the facts of my situation I am certain you would NOT still feel the same.

Third, I have been doing things to try and make contact and to build a bond with PITA. I had such a nice time with him that I told him tonight on the phone that I am missing him. That is a really great sign. It has been a long time since I have felt that way.

Overall, we are working on our relationship and I am doing my share too. Make NO mistake that I am trying also!

2013-01-26T00:51:05.829-07:00

I really wonder if you understand what your husband is doing for you and your family. It seems to me that he is doing the work while you just criticize every effort he is making. I do hope that things will work out with you two, but have to wonder if you are doing anything to help make that happen. He had to have moved out of your house for a reason, it wasn't just him in your marriage, there has to be work from both of you to get results if it is to work out. You keep saying that he seems to have changed, but I don't see anything that shows you are doing anything to help the situation. By continually putting him down and not listening to what he has to say (as an example this blog, which he doesn't want you talking about him, also seems he has come to visit you and the kids, but you haven't tried to go to him) it doesn't really seem like his feelings matter to you at all. Maybe instead of putting him down you give him a reason to feel like he matters to you. It takes two people to make a marriage work I just hope you are willing to put in the hours to help make that happen-maybe while deciding on logistics of where and when you and he should look into doing some therapy separately before moving to that point, then doing some together once that happens. I sincerely hope that you and he can be happy and things will work out I just don't believe it is all on him the way you make it out to be. Good luck.
