TGIF
Today...
Today was the deadline for my oldest son, Patrick, to have no protein in his urine by.
That did not happen.
I called the doctor's office this morning to apprise her of the disappointing fact, and had to leave a message. That was around 10:00 am or so...it's now almost 2:00 and I haven't heard back from her. I realize she is busy, and we are not her only patient, for all I know, she may be in surgery or something...but, man, waiting to hear what she is going to tell us is rough. From what I understand, she'll have to do a kidney biopsy next, figure out exactly what sort of disease is going on in his kidneys, and then try to treat it. I'm trying to stay positive, and not borrow worry, but it isn't always that easy when it's your baby, is it? Even when that baby is, in fact, almost 14 years old. I'm giving her until around 4pm, then I will call again. And again, until I get through to her. This is kind of, I don't know, IMPORTANT!!
In knitting news, I am working feverishly on Rusted Root.
This was yesterday morning's progress, cast-on, and about six rounds. I knit most of the afternoon, and all evening while watching Grey's (one word--ohmigod!) and, voila!:
I am almost to the little decorative sleeve decreases. I am determined to have it finished by Vegas. And hoping, that Patrick's health issues won't impact the trip. I need a vacation, especially if I'm going to have to be strong for him due to this. I am drained and need to sleep, eat, recharge. Is it crazy that we are going to Vegas, and all I can think about doing is sleeping?
