Happy New Year 2007!!!!!!!!

Current Mood: Loving

My husband’s son Wesley and his wife Mary welcomed little Aiden Michael Lukane Baker, 6lbs 12 oz. He was born at 2:17pm today. Can’t wait to see pictures. They are in Texas and I wish I knew if he looked like Jackson.

Current Mood: coffee time

Most people I’ve told this to are very relieved including my husband…I did not have the treatment as scheduled. Without going into real specific details, I had some concerned when I went in because I was assigned and put into the pshychiatric ward with patients that were very sick…use your imagination on that one. I asked to see my doctor, he came in and told me basically that I didn’t belong here and he pretty much changed my mind about getting the treatments. He advised me to continue taking the new medicine I’m on and increasing the dosage as per our schedule then after another month if I didn’t see real improvement that we will then re-visit our thoughts on ECT. Needless to say I was relieved and got dressed and out of there. I’m switching from relief to disappointment in myself for not going through with it but something in my gut told me NOT to do this at that time and I have to go with that. So far my instincts have never failed me. So….we will continue on and see what happens. Brent has been kind enough to take the rest of the week off and keeps reassuring me I made the right choice. I know he was very concerned when I arrived there and the surroundings I was in. I think he recognized that I didn’t belong with in-patients and that environment was not condusive to my situation. Most of the patients had no grip on reality and it was kind of like being a fish out of water. Who knows…someday I might be in that position and then that is where I will belong but for now, I’m rational and have confidence on what is real and what isn’t.

We are going to watch the weather..supposed to be a heavy storm coming. Rain/maybe snow, not sure yet.

We have been invited to a New Years bowling party and looking forward to that. Should be fun for all 3 of us.

Until later…..Happy New Year to all of you.

Well, Christmas has come and gone and all in all it went very well. I got some cute things for Christmas and Jackson made out like a bandit. We had lots of company over last night and little Cate was so pretty in her little Christmas outfit. I went to bed last night and Brent volunteered to clean up the house and he did a good job. When I got up this morning I was confronted by itty bitty lego’s but that’s nothing new…LOLOL. I got to talk to Emily yesterday TWICE so that was good. Warren was supposed to call but he probably either worked late or fell asleep. The doggies all got a bone so they are happy. I will post pictures soon. I got pictures from Emily this morning and they are really good. Ok, on to NEW YEARS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

ps;

Treatments start tomorrow morning. Nervous and anxious but anxious to know what I feel like after…that will be the judge on how I continue.

Love and Peace!!

I got up this morning and waxed the floors. It’s the only time the dogs won’t track prints..LOL. I’m still up at 6 and I doubt if I go back to bed. I’m going to be putting the food together today then popping it in the oven tomorrow. I’ve got a cheese tray, chicken drumettes, stuffed mushrooms, crab meat and shrimp with drawn butter, hashbrown casserole, red velvet cake. I think that will be enough… I really hope that everyone has a good Cmas and I hope all of you out there will have peace and tranquility. We go to my MIL’s tonight for dinner and gifts then in the AM it will be just us three to open gifts and relax. Then the world wind blow in with MIL and my daughter and her husband & Cate. I bought Cate a cute little potty chair that sings when you flush the handle and it’s adorable. I also got her the Fisher Price Grand piano. It lights up and plays music and is really cute. Jackson has a cold and had a hard time getting to sleep tonight… Hopefully tonight will get better…I sure hope so. Santa gets really tired waiting for the boy to go to sleep. My husband says at 10 we should phase out Santa but I can’t bring myself to do it. He’s so happy and the wonder on his face, I just can’t take that away yet. What to do….anyway, not now.
