Sierra?

Hey, what happened to Sierra? She hasn't posted in over a week. Have I missed something? Anyone know?

I so enjoy her posts. They are always humorous, and she has a great way of looking at things. Hope we haven't lost her.

camismom, I too was wondering. I sure hope nothing is wrong.

I sent her an email, hopefully we will hear something soon.

I miss her posts and stories about her "sprouts."

I feel like such a dang heel! I got so wrapped up in all the medical issues me and Bean Sprout were working thru I didn't even think for a second that anybody would worry about me here. Honest. Just one person out of hundreds I never imagined I'd be missed like this.

Dad2Brooke your email was probably swamped by 1000s and 1000s of junk mails offering to enhance body parts I don't even have, and for some reason to clean my septic tank up all shiny new. Awful lot of people worried to death about my septic tank for some reason. Maybe they know something I don't know

Let me know what email address you send from and I'll add you to my safe list so it won't happen again.

I promise I won't ever leave again without a little note first.

I guess I might as well put in a little update. Bean Sprout had blood pressure dips off and on for several weeks after that viral dehydration thing. He'd get faint and wobbly all at once. What a bunch of tests they gave him. I don't think he'll volunteer to go to the doc again ever. All these faint spells meant he kept missing a day of school here and there. Keeping him caught up on his work was a full time job in itself. They never did figure out for sure what was wrong but thought his electrolytes would get out of whack for a bit now and then. He got special dispensation to keep a sport drink with him in his classes.

At about the same time my peripheral neuropathy started acting up. Maybe because of stress. B vits help with PN a lot but I think stress must interfere with absorption. I was downing B12 sublingual and B50 like a vitamin junkie. And my doc put me on meds that made me feel like Rip Van Winkle. I hate neurontin. I could hardly keep up with the week much less the day.

Well everything seems better now. Weeks since Bean Sprout got dizzy and my PN is mostly calmed down but I have some carpal tunnel symptoms still. I don't think it's really carpal tunnel and neither does my doc. Just crazy nerves acting up and zinging me now and then.

So I'm still popping the B vits like candy. Once you get a B vit deficiency going it takes quite a bit to make it back up.

That's the story of our fun and excitement. I'm awful sorry to have worried you all. But I can't tell you how nice it is to know I was in your thoughts now and again.

Sierra-
How could you think that we wouldn't miss you? You and the sprouts are part of the family. Glad to hear things are better and I am truly enjoying reading your posts again!!
