News n updates

Well beyond my helping to save 62sq feet of rainforest...
My youngest child will be graduating from college a week from today.. I'm very proud of her and a little proud of myself for struggling all those years. Finally a Mothers Day that will have a better connotation than ones past. Mothers Day was always a reminder of what my family and ex's felt.. that I was a failure. Obviously I wasn't, so from now on I can really feel and believe the truth I WAS and continue to be a good mother.
I did the best I could with a disorder called PTSD, not knowing what was driving the constant moves and irrational responses, caused the roller coaster ride that became my life.
The other news involves my youngest grandson who was hospitalized in the beginning of April as failure to thrive. My son had to fight the doctor to get him admitted as medicaid demands that lots of things get pushed away from expensive procedures. He weighed a mere 7lbs at three months old. He should have weighed nearly 15. When I found out I started looking online for causes of failure to thrive, knowing that in this case it wasn't neglect as I spoke to my son nearly everyday and heard his concerns about his weight. They took the baby to all of the doctor visits scheduled and were assured that the baby was fine and brushed off.
So finally my son said enough was enough and demanded that he be hospitalized, where tests were run and now confirmed that he has a chromosome error called Prader-Willi syndrome. So I'm trying to educate myself on the ramifications of this disorder and figure out how I cna help without becoming to entangled in the dysfunction that seems to surround my son and his family.
My sleeping has been off kilter since we had some security issues here as well as the oncoming spring tornado season.. I had a panic attack last friday when the alarms sounded as I knew there were storms in the area.. when the clerk at the paper store where my daughter was purchasing her resume specialty paper told her that I could relax that here they test them the first friday of the month.. really I think that they should reconsider testing them when there are storms in the area.. my daughter let me cry and release some of the tension but it just reminded me just how much this season effects me.. For now Im safe.. and I guess saving rainforsests :)
