Got more information last night. The MRI is today and Skeeter has to be NPO for the next 6 hours (no food or drink) and he last at yesterday at noon. Crabby is not even close to what he is feeling. We have decided to hold his leukemia treatment for a couple of weeks in order for his counts to get higher and some effect to start on the blood clot. The next phase of cancer treatment is pretty rough and lasts three weeks (then we are close to the easy part:) ) and is very rough on his body so since he will be also battling the clot - it is best to have him at his best.
The treatment for the clot is difficult. They do not invade on the brain so we have to only use drugs. They are using a low-count heprin (stuff they give stroke victems) and we will be giving the same stuff at home. It is a subcutanious injection and will happen twice a day .... for THREE MONTHS. (this on top of regular treatment). There will be followup MRI's and MRB's and CatScans till it is gone and then every couple of months to make sure it stays gone.
School starts Thursday and J is FINALLY doing a hospital stay so I can get to the first day of classes. Being here this much is really starting to stress me. Luckily for me, I have the same TA in Botany as I had last semister for Skeeter's leukemia diagoisis... she already contacted me with the syllabus.
I am angry... and not just about Skeeter being sick. I am angry at J and his stupid attitude about this whole situation. He is not proactive - every twist and turn just knocks him out for days and I have to do all the clean up and all the care for Skeeter. I can barely ask him to watch him at the hospital so I can get out - last night he didn't get Skeeter to take his meds because, "Well, he was crying about it so I didn't push." But me? I had to WAKE him up and get him to take it because I must stay in my role of the mean mom who makes her SICK child TAKE HIS MEDICINE.
He has no regard for what I have to do in my life. I have been here since staurday (missing only about 16 hours of time) and he has been going to work and doing other things. I realize that it is hard for him to be at work and so far away but that is not even close to how hard it is to be here. I am barely going to make work or school this week and he is still managing full time. I have no income... he does. He say, "Well, if I take off work then I make less money to pay you back for the van and for my living expences." and I say, "I am NOT EVEN WORKING so how can I cover my living expences (which due to and according to you are higher than your since I support myself, pj and "half of skeeter" while you support you and "half of skeeter"." I support more and have to cover more - especially with PJ's dad not paying child support.
My god. I am angry and I am tired and I hurt... alot.
On a somewhat brighter note.![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
