exhausted

So Cady is going to be seeing an ear nose and throat doctor soon. Hopefully they can figure why she keeps having issues breathing at night. On top of that I spent 7 hours in the ER yesterday with my grandmother. She fell for the 3rd time in the last 4 days. My mother is in Arizona for the winter with my stepdad (who has Parkinson's disease) and she take care of grandma during the summer...and my aunts who are in state don't give a crap. I feel so alone in this. Eric and I are fighting and so it's hard to be fighting and letting him support me during moments like this. Ugg...I just want to sleep for a full 24 hours and wake up refreshed and strong enough to handle everything. Sorry..vent over.

About the same. Sorry I haven't been on much. I can't get her in until the 20th. I'm on a waiting list for sooner. Still having problems. We actually had her alarm go off due to her stopping breathing the other night.  We had just put her down about 45 min earlier.

You're entitled to what you feel. If these are your rough times then you deserve the support no matter how big or small it seems. And I think what you're going through with your little one is a big deal. Now to add your grandma on top of that. I'm sure all the stress is making it harder on you and your husband.

Even if others have it worse then you it doesn't mean that what you're going through is bad and doesn't deserve support. I feel for your grandma. I'm sure it's devastating to lose the love of your life after being together so many years. It's sad that she's ready to be done with this world but understandable at the same time. I know how hard it is for the family to watch someone you love give up on life. Hang in there :)  I hope you get some rest.

Thanks ladies. I feel bad about venting in here sometimes because I read some of the posts and realize that my life isn't as bad as it seems. That someone else could use the support more than me and I don't want to take away from them. I am excited for the ENT appointment whenever that actually happens. I am a type A personality (if you haven't figured that out yet..haha) and would LOVE some answers. As for grandma, she's given up and is just weak. She'd like to die. My grandpa and her were married for 57 years when he passed. He did everything for her. I couldn't imagine being in her position. The sad part is that her body is SO healthy except for her refusing to get up and walk so she is wobbly on her feet which makes her fall. She wants me to go over to her nursing home this week and start putting labels on stuff for who she wants it to go to. In the meantime, if you don't hear from me for a bit....I'm either super busy..or finally fell asleep :)

It's ok to vent flick, hell, i do often enough! lol. Thats what we are all here for, to help each other out. I guess we all have different stresses in our lives, and i totally get you wanting to be able to get a full night's sleep. Maybe thats why things are a bit tense with you and your hubby, you're both stressed and tired and dealing with Cady and her breathing issues. It all takes a toll sometimes. I really hope she gets over this soon, there must be something that can be done? As for poor grandma, i hope she gets better soon too :)

I hope you get some answers from the ENT. That must be so terrifying. I wouldn't sleep at all either! You're definitely under a lot of stress. I'm sure that doesn't help things at all.

Hun you have ever right to vent. That sounds like a lot of stressful stuff all at once. I completely understand the sleep thing. I'm lucky to get 3-4 hours uninterrupted these days. I keep telling hubby we need to get a sitter, rent a hotel room and sleep for at least 12 hours. Try and hang in there. I'm sure it'll get better soon. I really hope the ENT can give you some answers for what's going on with Cady.
