So, Jess of Soul Sistahs opened my eyes to the fact that she has people from all over the world viewing her blog. I may be her only follower, but I never even knew I could track who saw what I wrote. Um, Indonesia, Ukraine, Slovenia, Netherlands....Really?? This is an amazing thing...but also pathetic because no one reads this. On the one hand, I don't care - this is mostly a journal for me and for A down the road. But on the other, sometimes I have funny shit to say (well, I think I'm funny...) and I don't usually blog it because no one reads it. So there's my dilemma...no one reads me because I don't say anything pertinent or funny to anyone else, but I don't really write everything I think about or frequently enough to make a difference in my viewership.
So maybe I'll turn over a new leaf and write more often, more detailed, and more random crap. Like about my annoying coworkers...and the Whole30 cleanse/jumpstart diet I'm on right now...and Jethro getting bit at camp, my poor baby boy...and Allie still pooping in her pants... I have endless things to write about, though not endless time to write. So, there may be an influx of posts coming from Cartzy soon. or, more likely, I'll forget about this new found motivation and come back in a month for another 'sorry i'm a crappy mommy/blogger/journaler' update type post. Yeah, that's probably what will happen. But it's a good thought...

Really, body?
Williamsburg was great. Started out not so good... on the drive down I said "I have a sore throat, I hope this doesn't turn into anything" and within 2 hours I couldn't swallow, was sick to my stomach, sweating and shaking with chills at the same time, had a huge headache and could barely walk. 102.6 fever...tonsillitis plus whatever. Strep & mono: negative (yes, I went to the walk-in clinic on vacation and talked to a gigantic, panting male PA about diahrrea and cold sweats - every girl's dream). I was told I had "big, honkin', angry tonsils." Antibiotics helped, and by Sunday I was able to participate in vacation with my family. We actually had a great time - saw Yorktown, Jamestown Settlement & Colonial Williamsburg - A did really well, loved the pool, didn't have huge public meltdowns (but HATED the aquarium at VA Beach we drove to)...her only issue was sleeping - strange place, strange bed, and as much as we tried it was nearly impossible to keep her schedule & foods the same. Oh well... it was fun, and good to see C relax a bit. He needed it.
Made an appointment with the ENT when I got home - this was my 4th or 5th tonsillitis case since October, plus with the PET scan lighting up, and the progression of symptoms from throat only to fever, chills, stomach upset & feeling like I was hit by a truck, it was time to figure out what was going on. Well, ENT said what I suspected - they have to come out. There's no magic pill, and he doesn't think they are actually getting healthy with antibiotics...I feel better for a while, but they are diseased and the only way to not get sick over and over again is to not have them in.
So I have to have my tonsils out. Not a big deal in the grand scheme of life, I know... the recovery as an adult apparently sucks (2 weeks laid up with bleeding & fever risks), but I can deal. It's the future implications that I'm worried about.
My immune system is rebelling against me.
- I had to have my spleen out a few years ago because of a benign tumor.
- I have been diagnosed with Sjogren's syndrome.. luckily most of my symptoms of this are more annoying than debilitating, but I don't like that my body is attacking itself and will continue to do so for the rest of my life.
- A long time ago, I gave blood, and got a note back that I had antibodies to HTLV - human lymphotropic t cell carcinoma. not that it WAS cancer, but that I haz some blood issues related to it.
- I have enlarged lymph nodes behind my sternum and my stomach (lymph node adenopathy) and underwent CTscans, a PET and a bone marrow biopsy last fall to rule out a host of things, mostly lymphoma. Though it's nice to hear "it's not cancer..." test results being borderline are not exactly comforting, especially when the next words out of your oncologist's mouth are "...yet."
- The tonsils are another part of the immune system, and without them I am freaking out that I have one less defense, and am one step closer to whatever lymphoma is down the line for me.
I mean, I know it's not a death sentence and there are people who have it worse. And I know there are over 30 types of lymphoma. And I know most are very treatable. But things start adding up. It's not like Dr. F said I could fire him, tests were fine, I need no follow-up. I need to see him every 6 months and continue to have CT scans to monitor the lymph nodes. With one more part of my immune system being taken away from me, I am really starting to worry....what's next? When will the cancer show up? Is it inevitable? What else is going on in my body that is causing all these seemingly unrelated things?
So I had a minor freak out this morning, here at work, at my desk. I tried calling C, he didn't answer. So, I made an appointment with Dr. F for before the tonsillectomy. I don't even know if he is the right doctor to see. I don't know the effects on your health when you don't have tonsils...especially when you already have a compromised immune system. I just want to ask him how all these things are related, what the sum total says to him, if anything, and what it means for the future. I hope he has some answers or can direct me to another doc (rheum? endo? immunologist? does that last one even exist?) if he doesn't........
I know it's dramatic, but it's hard not to let your mind wander... is my body shutting down? how long until those borderline tests are more definitive? am I gonna see my baby graduate high school? Ok, maybe that last one is a bit much, but you know I thought it.
Hmph.

Adventures in Toddlerhood.
So today was a very exciting day! We had a doc's appointment for A at 11 - she has a sinus infection, hence the 2 week+ cough and chest rattling. While we were there, still in the waiting room, she tripped, fell and went head first into the seat of a chair. Just a few minutes of screaming, but you could see the bridge of her nose swelling up, and her top lip getting fat & a little bloody. My poor baby! She was fine, nothing broken & we made it through the appointment without further incident. Let's hope she doesn't have two shiners tomorrow morning!
We came home for the day, but took a trip to our fave place ever - Walmart - later in the afternoon. While we were there, I just happened to see Elmo toilet seats for potty training & picked two up. She's started telling us when she's already peed by grabbing her crotch and whispering puh puh, so I figured what the heck, let's see what happens!
Well.... we get home, have dinner & head up for her bath. She tells me "puh puh," so I get the seat out & plop her on it.
SHE PEED.
The very first time I put her on the potty, she peed!!
I'm not delusional enough to think she's ready to potty train, but they do bring all the kids to the toilet together, so I know she's getting exposure to it. I'll take what I can get! Maybe this interest means we'll train earlier rather than later - maybe right after a year?? We'll see, but it was a very exciting milestone for my "baby!"

A month later...
I kept telling myself to come on here and post an update, but I was thinking there'd be something more exciting later in the month to write about. Not so much! So, a month later, here I am. Thank God no one reads this but me!
Not a whole lot happened in April, I don't think. Last week, though, we had Alexandra evaluated by Birth to Three, a free CT service to determine developmental issues a child might be having. I've been worried about Allie's speech - not her receptiveness or comprehension, but her actual expression of words. She says Mama, Dada & No just fine (we even get the finger wag with no no no!), but all her other "words" are what they call word approximations. They are close, and more than just babbling or sounds, but they are not THE words, and I was a little concerned. She had the eval, and she rocked it - thankfully she does not qualify for services. But the women were fantastic, and didn't make me feel paranoid or crazy at all - they understood where I was coming from, and suggested that because of all her ear infections, she *really* has only been hearing well since September...so she's a little behind where she otherwise would be with her speech. They wanted us to keep track of what she does say, so here it is - in all her cuteness.
Dedoh - Jethro
Tchoo- Juice
Doo - Shoe/Foot/Toes
Go - this is pretty new, she actually says go
wawa - water
Puh - Up and Cup
Coh - Coat
Bah bah - Bye bye & Haaah - Hi...our girl has a southern accent
Hah -Hat
Hoh - Hot
Mo - More (and the sign)
She also - on command - barks like a dog, moos like a cow, toots like a train & quacks like a duck -- sort of.
As relieved as I am to hear that she is not officially "delayed" in her speech, I can't wait till she really says the words, and selfishly, I can't wait to hear her say "I love you". She give the best kisses and hugs, as it is, but to hear her say that? I know my heart will burst.
In other news, we have an appointment for her to see an Allergist on Friday...we'll see how that goes. Not looking forward to the scratch tests at all. Mother's Day was yesterday and it was awesome. C brought her in to wake me up, and really, what better way to wake up then to a beautiful smiling face saying Mama and giving hugs and wet kisses?? We went out to breakfast at our spot, Huxley's, I got a pedicure with Apryl, then it was off to the beach, Jethro included! It wasn't the smoothest trip but it was tons of fun and a perfect afternoon with my little family. We got home, I worked outside for a while on a couple beds that needed weeding and new flowers (Badly), and we had some cuddletime with the girl before bed. She was awfully gabby, and she has started to sing and dance too. She'll just go aaaah, aaaah, and move her arms and legs, or bob her head - seriously. I need video of it, because it's beyond cute / hysterical. It really was a perfect day!

The health saga recap...and an update.
I haven't been vocal or forthcoming about some health crap that's been going on. To be honest, there's been so many other friends & family members with health scares, med issues, illnesses, and other not-so-fun things, I haven't wanted to add to it. But now that I don't need vibes or whatever other mystical internet powers I might have once summoned, I thought I'd share & get it out in the open to the 2 people who read this blog :)
Here's the "as condensed as I can get it" version:
3 years ago (ish) I got a CT scan. I can't even remember why..... Add that to some weird blood work results, losing my hair, joint pains, and extreme fatigue, and I started seeing an oncologist/hematologist, and endocrinologist and a rheumatologist to see what was going on. Lots of mystery surrounding the zillion appointments and gallons of blood I was giving over for testing. The CT scan I had showed abnormal lymph node growth, and we decided to monitor it. I was also told I *may* have Sjogren's syndrome, but they couldn't confirm. I don't know why.. It's not a widely tested and known disease, though its gaining in understanding... It was all very weird & unsettling.
Then I got pregnant, didn't have a f/u scan obviously, and just decided to focus on having a happy & healthy pregnancy. No meds, no tests, no nothing. Well, I did have more monitoring than normal - the suspected Sjogren's caused me to be high risk, as there are antibodies present that can cross over the placenta and damage the baby's heart. That was all fine & unobtrusive testing, nothing to do with blood results or lymph nodes.
I didn't call the Oncologist again until last summer. Went back to him, blood numbers were still wonky, CT scan showed that the lymph node had doubled in size - and was in a basically impossible place to biopsy. The only way to get it is to go cut open your stomach & go through to the back. Um, pass. Awesome all around... onto more testing. All my blood tests come back borderline, slightly elevated, etc. It's ridiculous. Nothing is a "hell yes this chick has X disease" but nothing says flat out no, either. Weird.
PET scan showed high levels of activity in more than one area. (Commence freak out). Bring on the bone marrow biopsy... not as awful as I thought it would be, but about as fun as you might imagine. The good news with the BMB was that it was NOT cancer. That was my Christmas gift last year.
Had a follow-up CT scan last week & my oncologist called me last night - over the last 6 months, ZERO growth in the lymph nodes, and no additional spots of activity or weird stuff showing up on the scans!! So I don't have to go back and see him until Oct, where I'll have more blood work and possibly another scan.
Still seeing the rheum for the Sjogrens - but my symptoms are relatively mild compared to others'. Like - more annoying than debilitating, so I'm lucky enough to not have to be on meds right now. Eventually I probably will, but I took the stance with the doc if I don't "have" to be on meds, I don't want to. And he agreed. The endocrinologist said my thyroid was borderline, not enough to do anything about it. I do have nodules on it, and I have to keep monitoring them for growth & changes, but I guess lots of people have them without ever knowing or having them affect their health.
So that's it. I watch the lymph nodes for growth or changes or more of them showing up. I pay closer attention to my body and do some self tests to see if I can feel lymph nodes in any other areas. I monitor my Sjogren's symptoms for changes. I deal with the hair loss, the inability to lose weight, the fatigue & the joint aches and just be happy it's not cancer.
For now. Because, as is my luck, Sjogren's is not only known to cause lymph node abnormalities (lymph node adenopathy, to use the jargon), it is also directly linked to lymphoma. Of which there are over 30 kinds. Ridiculous no?
One of these days I'm gonna wake up with zero pain, bright eyed and bushy tailed, 40lbs lighter, a full head of hair and no anxiety about what's next. One day :)
This was supposed to be an uplifting post about how I got great test results. As I write it out and realize it's doom and gloom, I guess I'm still kinda annoyed at all the testing and crap I went through, all to be told it's probably the Sjogren's that is causing everything, but we have to monitor you forever just in case. Haha, way to go, Cartzy. Always the optimist! Good grief.

Allergies!
So the girl is allergic to citrus.
It started out as tomatoes...she'd get a rash all over her stomach, back and face... What kind of Italian are you, Alexandra?! My little Ginzo better grow outta that one!
But now we are seeing those little red bumps after other citrus... last night was lime juice used in a chicken recipe and in our rice which were both delish... and when we went to undress her for her bath we noticed the little buggers popping up on her side & her tummy.
I have a call into the doc to ask: do we a) stop all citrus; or b) keep giving her small bits to see if she'll build up a tolerance? Because seriously, this kid made me eat oranges & grapefruits my ENTIRE pregnancy and now she can't tolerate them?? That's not fair. I love me some citrus, and I know she likes it (she was licking her fingers after dinner last night, and gobbled up a clementine earlier -- but I never checked for a reaction to that).
We shall see!

tired
I'm exhausted. Like really, really tired. Like toothpicks need to hold my eyelids open tired. A has decided it's not cool to sleep longer than 4 hours in a row, and is up at least 2x a night. I think teeth are about to pop through, and I can't imagine how awful that feels, but come on, baby. Sleep, dammit!
I did a mini experiment where I went gluten free for 10 days, and have never felt better. Honestly. I had so much more energy, I didn't feel sluggish & I lost 3 lbs. I did a lot of research (thank you, Dr. Google), and so many of the symptoms I have experienced for many years sound like Celiac...But to get tested, I have to be eating regularly. So, I feel like crap again, and gained the weight back that I lost that week. Anyway, I get tested in about 3 weeks, and regardless of the results, I'm going as GF as possible.
This weekend is a MUCH needed girls' weekend in Philly with two of my buds from grad school who have both moved to DC and are doing fun federal jobs at the FBI and US Postal Inspection Service. Jealous. As much as I will miss my babe, I am so excited to get away, have some girl time, some me-time, and sleeeeep. Hopefully this will recharge my batteries a bit.... I've been dragging, and I don't feel funny. I mean that literally. You may think I'm never funny, and that's fine. But I have my moments. And they are fewer and fewer these days. So. Here's to a weekend in the city of brotherly love, filled with giggles, wine, good food, good stories, mani/pedis, Cleopatra, and sleep.
