Fibro day. After dropping Faith at Kerry's this a.m. I was back in ned. Ian brought me meds & I tried to sleep. I get so sick of the way it feels. The actual pain is weird.
I find it very annoying that I get to lay or sit there & do nothing. It hurts to let Faith crawl on me. The kids are always so great about it. Me, not so great about it! :)

Items from June 2010
June 1 - U Joey fell
Texts with Kim:
I am not good at calling, but I try to see everyone when visiting. Grooming is good. Farm life is awesome & Mark is good.
Tony likes to stir the emotion pot & does a good job at it. He did the same thing to me & Tam.
I figure I'll just stay to myself. I'm so tired of the family drama.
6 June - Ian was easily irritated, angry, upset.
7 June - "Down" - Ian.
12 June - U Joe unable to walk. In Pueblo.
17 June - U Joe going home.
26 June - Alyssa Marie A'Hearn born 8:25 pm; 7lbs 14 oz & 20 inches. Christina Weis was the mom. She is my second cousin, the daughter of my cousin Michael.
29 June - U Joe - Not really any change. Had to have 1 more unit of blood; still critical.

Connor 14 Nov 2010
I called to talk to Connor. I talked to his foster mother, Carol. She seems really nice.
Connor started school at Vista. He is in special ed & has made a lot of friends that are girls. He is riding on a regular bus that drops him off across the street from where he is living. She said he is very enthusiastic about school. She said Mr. Padilla, the head of Spec Ed is great & boy that is good. I am glad about it all.
She went over certain things she is working on his with like quiet time when she is driving. (Wonder why that is?! :)
The foster dad mentioned his memory & I told them @ his short term memory being really bad. Something he will always have, but makes it a bit frustrating at times.
Apparently the room that he & the other boy share is more like a little apartment. They have a sitting room, their own bathroom, 2 tvs. I told her I thought I may move in. They have a video game consol.
Connor gets to put wood on the fire in the fireplace & that thrills him to no end. I told him to be careful as I didn't want a cooked Connor. He assured me that he was very careful.
He asked for his Legos, a video of mine, & the metal wolf his grandmother gave him. So, I will drive there Wednesday as long as everything goes ok.
Connor talked to Ian who seemed very down about Connor being gone. He also talked to Faith kitty as he called her. He is happy, I can hear it. So, that makes mummy happy!

Ian, my hazardous kid
Ian is my second child. He was my biggest baby at 9lbs 10.5 oz. (Yes, I am very serious!)Being 15 months younger than his brother he was never to be left behind, climbing counters & being caught standing on the table by three. (Ok, well so he was only 1 yr here! See what I mean?!)
He is also the joker of the family. I started calling him Charlie Chaplain by the age of 7.
Ian also sustains some injury every year whether by his own hand or not. So, there are annual ER visits. After twisting his knee the second day of school playing football, I thought we had our due, especially since it is the last half of the year. Apparently, & I really shouldn't be surprised, we weren't!
I got a call from the school yesterday that Ian was playing basketball during free time. When he got a good shove he failed to catch himself, whacking his head so hard on cement that people all around head it & came running. This should also point out how hard his head is, as he didn't even break the skin & yet the sound of it hitting resounded!
One injury...
As much as I love my son I swear he needs to be in a full body cast that will include his head! My only hope is that maybe somehow reading will have been smacked into place & he will have no more problems with that! :)
Connor - 1 Week in Foster Care
I talked to the doctor overseeing Connor's care today. The foster parents were in the other day to sign paperwork so he could stay with them. I am waiting for mine.
After talking to the doctor I got to talk to Connor! :) He sounds very happy. He says he calls them Grandma & Grandpa. Again he pointed out that they restore cars. He likes it there.
Connor told me he started school & "already has friends". Plural for Connor is really good! :)
I asked about the other child staying who I believe is older & Connor said, "He is going crazy". I told him that wasn't too funny since our whole family is crazy! Perhaps he is having problems with Connor being added to the mix, but Connor didn't sound concerned at all.
So, he is happy which makes me happy. :):)

Creators of Chaos!
When my sons were small & I would get absorbed in something that I was working on, I would hear them laughing & be happy they were getting along so well. But to my surprise the little creatures who obviously thought they were chefs would actually be creating on my carpet with ingredients like: A1 sauce, eggs, soda, ketchup, etc. Ketchup & eggs seemed to be a staple as, yes, it happened a few times.
With my daughter, I was ever so grateful that she did not do these types of things...UNTIL...
Makes you wonder @ those "red eyes" huh!
And for those that must know, it is baby powder. The reminants of which, are still in the hallway! :)

Connor's out of UBH
UBH phoned Monday to tell me that Connor would be going home with the (Treatment) foster family that came to see him last week.
Tuesday I had to fax documents. Wed I signed a release for his school papers so they could enroll him in school. He needs to get back into school. I think that will make him happy.
They live in a town a little over an hour away. I was told that he was doing well. That doesn't surprise me. It is one of the good things he got from me; adaptability. :)
I will be having a meeting some time next week to have a meeting. I am not sure if that is with the parents as well as the coordinator, but I would think so. I was told the "mother" is very forward & I consider that a good thing. You need to be that way to take care of any child, but especially a special needs child.
I was told their was another, older boy that they take care of as well. I will have to find out about that. If he isn't clingy they may do well. I was told Connor would like his Legos. :) Not surprising. That is my inventor boy!
It was such a strange feeling. Knowing he was going home with another family. Knowing he should be with me, but isn't. It is all very weird, even if it is what I have to do to keep everyone safe. I am glad, however, that he is in a home rather than a facility.
Only God knows what the future holds...
