Long time away .... Brief synopsis....
*found a great physical therapist

*Pregnancy #6 helped reduce spondy pn

*directed a successful pirate festival


*spent last 3 weeks of pregnancy in start-n-stop labor while in hospital with dd#3 who went status epilepticus and almost didnt come out of it. Had to slam her with lotsa meds.

*alexander was born at home in the middle of the week long pirate fest. He was the darling of the event.

*lotsa pt, ot & speech therapy to get dd#3 functioning better.

*told hubby i was done with his abusive crap and wanted a separation.

*life started getting worse

*went to wyoming with kids to visit my long lost brother for a few weeks during christmas and to give hubs time to get an apt.

*transmission went dry

*hubby filed for divorce to get me back home a week later and said hes not moving out. I am to continue to live with him.

*dd#3 went to hosp ER a couple days later with ear infection. Stayed a week with 'failure to thrive' from epilepsy med overdosing. She was unable to eat since on so many meds her body was shutting down.

*had to miss a friend of the court mtg to determine temp custody, visitation & child support cuz she was in hosp.

*my brother gets an infection in his hand. Turns out to be mrsa and he is in the hospital now, losing a thumb.

*hubby is working on taking the kids away. He's keeping my finances to a bare minimum as punishment for not coming home when he said.

*hmmm.... I think that is everything in a nutshell. Not sure i like being stuck in the middle of nowhere, wyoming in the winter!!! Brrrr! It kinda sux out here! Lol! But it looks like i will be working on residency for awhile anyway, to keep him from making me go back to MI and living with a very unstable controling and posessive man.

Gotta love my life ...... yawn
