I was going to leave ...Got my tree down on Monday. I was going to leave it up until "Old Christmas" Wednesday but started taking the wreaths off the doors and the decorations off the tree Monday. The plan was to leave the prelit tree up but after all that I just took it down, too. That the latest I have left mine up--usually all Christmas gone by New Year's Day. That was always my New Year's Eve project--taking all decorations in the house down and packing up. Of course, the outside lights are still up but turned off. That's Jim's job. Hope Nathan's tests turn out fine for him. Would have liked to have seen you with his feet on your shoulders. Enjoy the cookies and egg nog today.Ann Martinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12326804121276500701noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7614350181757194859.post-60367493295997393232010-01-09T14:56:39.079-05:002010-01-09T14:56:39.079-05:00Becky, does he have HYPOthyroidism or HYPERthyroid...Becky, does he have HYPOthyroidism or HYPERthyroidism? Because HYPER can cause irregular heartbeats. Just lettin' ya know. One time I got stuck in a heart arrhythmia and had to go the ER and one of the first things they did was draw blood to check my thyroid levels.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7614350181757194859.post-87237098515566748132010-01-09T14:21:03.565-05:002010-01-09T14:21:03.565-05:00College boys and food!

No..."Just couldn't stand the heat..." Now that had me cracking up this morning. :) Oh, and like Lesley, I too wish I had the problem of "forgetting" to eat now and then.

Imagine! :)<br />They were each so painfully thin that it was a bit worrisome. The doctor put Jimmy on Periactin for a month. He said, it has a side effect of increasing appetite, so Jimmy should gain weight, if he was a healthy child...and he did. He gained 10 pounds in a month from just eating. So they took him off it and told him to EAT!<br />Four year later, I was back to the doc with John, same problem, same solution, same outcome. Same 10 pounds gained. Same instructions from the doc: Eat!!<br />Jimmy is a whopping 180 pounds now at 6 ft tall. Yay! John is finally filling out now at 21 years old. Nathan reminds me so much of my thin boys. Hopefully the thyroid issue will be a non-issue. <br />Oh, oddly enough, Jimmy has an irregular pulse when he sleeps. He's had it since he was young. How do I know this? I used to check his pulse when he had a fever and sleeping, rather than take his temperature which would wake him up. So they did a sleeping EKG and said it was fine-<br /><br />What is it with these kids? How can they forget to eat? I wish I had that problem.lesleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09501503992952033631noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7614350181757194859.post-42917404298901804522010-01-09T08:37:01.537-05:002010-01-09T08:37:01.537-05:00It's putting away all the Christmas stuff day ...It's putting away all the Christmas stuff day at my house.
