Gram positive bacteria....and yeast

Well Sam has sprouted the above in her head...so far the bone is negative. But she's going to need a pic line and then home antibiotics. We can deal with that. She's going to miss a trip to Wisconsin with Nana tho, to watch her cousin Callie graduate from high school. She's been thru so much...The debridement was very painful, I've never seen her cry from pain at the hospital from surgery. Well, except for the spinal repair....she is my hero.. I love her to death.

Alec is probably going to get a feeding tube...I'm happy but I'm sad. The endocrinologist said she thinks it's time. He needs to grow and start puberty and all that fun stuff. He's going to be 12 in 4 months and looks like he's about 8 or 9. Chris is dead set against it and asked Alec "why is she doing this to you?". I want to punch him in the face but I'll settle for verbal attacks. Like, well Chris your son hasn't grown in a year and a half and is wearing the same size clothes and shoes. When it happened to Sam it was bad, but when it happens to Alec it's ok??? I don't think so. Alec was hysterical during the blood draw, I can't even imagine whats going to happen if he has surgery. There won't be any walking him to the OR. They'll be dragging him or maybe just give him a nice little cocktail before...He will be a mess. But he's my mess and I love him. We have so much fun together, usually. He has quite a sense of humor. He comes up with the wittiest things, then I laugh and tell him he's funny and then he gets insulted. Sounds like George Costanza.

They're letting Caitlin walk for graduation even tho she is still 2 credits short. She's taking 2 classes thru the mail to finish out. Her dad bought her a laptop. He never even gave Nik anything for graduation. Must be the money he's saving now that I don't get any child support. She's so excited about her future. So am I. I just wish I were rich so she could have an easier time. Struggle will be good for her tho. I love her.

Nik is doing ok, back on the island, working for the summer. Caitlin is actually working with him so that should be fun. He got a summons for federal jury duty. He's not happy. When he goes, I have to drive him since he can't drive. He's going to be 21 in 6 weeks. Dang, I'm old. I love him.
