Update on SD and all that goes along with diagnosis and her dumb BM...

First of all for those that have noticed, sorry I have been MIA. I had family in from out of town and we had a big celebration for my grandfather this last weekend.... anyway

So BM asked if I would go along with her and DH to the endocrinologists for SD on Wednesday and I agreed. They are going to show us how to give SD her shot if her Addison's causes her to have an attack or if a serious injury were to happen. This ought to be fun...

SD has her medical ID bracelet and she loves it beleive it or not. She got to pick the little charms that go on the side of it. It was bloody exspensive, but seeing as BM ordered the damn thing before she even let DH know, she had to pay for it.

On a lighter note, SD has done a complete 360 in her attitude and temperament. She came running up to me when we picked her up last Thursday and gave me the biggest hug and told me she missed me :jawdrop: this is something she hasn't done in almost a year. She was nice to her sisters and didn't throw any fits or really even do anything to get yelled at about this weekend. I am hoping that we are headed back down the road that I haven't seen in a long time with SD. The only down side is the fact that she will have this disease for the rest of her life and be on meds, and because of the steroids, she is eating us out of house and home LOL!

OH and as for BM... when she was in the hospital with SD last week, her ExH (trying to work it out BF) or whatever you want to call him was out at the bar and with other women. BM informed my DH of all of this today and told him that she moved out AGAIN yesterday. We knew it would happen, even though she GUARENTEED that it would not. She actually told DH that she deserved all of the razing that he wanted to give her that she was wrong to have blamed him for everything. DH told her that the damage is done and she can't take back the things that she has said. She even said that she wished she had handled her issues with me differently. Now my only question is how is SD going to handle moving out again? Are we going to get back on this rollercoaster again, or is the Addison's to blame for a lot of SD's issues in the past??? I hope this time around it is a bit easier because I am not sure I can handle it if this little girl loses it again. It almost cost me my marriage the first time around.

Stupid BM

I know thyriod problems are linked with depression, you're basically talking about a hormonal imbalance so it's possible the issues you have had are largely due to it.

That's what they are saying and I agree. Her attitude has done a 360 since being on the meds.
