Okay, before I forget, I have the results of my thyroid scan. Actually they called me on Monday and I just keep forgetting to mention it. Everything is fine. J They said the "activity" they saw in my thyroid was expected. The iodine will continue to work to destroy the cells. I said so what does that mean? Is the iodine working to kill the thyroid cells or the cancer cells? The nurse said and/or. So I guess they consider any remaining thyroid cells to be potentially cancerous. But again, the scan showed exactly what they were expecting and I don't have to go for another scan for 6 months. They said the scan was "normal". Ha, been a long time since anybody has called me that! So I don't have to worry about that mess for a while.
I went to school with Colby today. He had a great day! While at school he drove his chair a bit, worked on eye gaze. Normal school stuff. He got really tired tonight and while I was putting him to bed his numbers got out of whack, but overall I would say he had a good day. He was super sleepy tired though by the time I got him in bed. Think I'm going to start getting him to bed a little earlier. Still working on some other ideas on how to prevent these drops in oxygen/spikes in heart rate. Guess it's just a work in progress.
My throat is on fire and if I stick out my tongue and look in the mirror, I can see blisters on the back of my tongue. So I'm assuming it's strep? How in the hell did I get strep when I was in isolation for practically a week?! Leave it to me. I don't have other symptoms really. Except I did sneeze twice today, and trust me, that's not easy on a sore throat. I'm a little achy but heck, that could just be because I'm tired/fatigued or all these freakin' changes in the weather. For the most part it's just the sore throat. Started a dose of Amoxicillin today in the hopes to nip this crap in the bud. Hoping, praying that Colby stays well. I would lose what little mind I have left if he gets sick again.
It has been a heck of a busy week. I'm working tomorrow and keep telling myself, just hang on until Friday at 2:00. You can do this. We scheduled Wine Night tomorrow night, but I won't be able to go. Not only am I sick, but my babysitter went to the doctor today, too, and got put on a bunch of meds. That's a bummer, dude. Over the weekend I'd like to sleep, rest, nap, take a siesta, snooze, lie down for a bit, get to bed early and all around do nothing I don't have to do. In the next couple of days, I promise I'll find something else to blog about besides pulse/ox numbers, thyroid scans, SMA, medical stuff and any other icky crap. I'll think of something fun to blog about, even if I have to make it up as I go.
Well, the Nyquil is kicking in so I better hit the sack. That alarm clock will be ringing in my ear before I know it.
