Gut Instinct

Maggie had her appointment with the neurologist today. As I suspected, the doctor feels she is not experiencing migraines or any neurological concerns. Her feeling is that the headaches or pressure is caused by her sinus concerns. AMEN!!!!!

So with that step taken, we can move on to making the decisions on how to help Maggie feel better. Today at the doctor Maggie told me, "Mommy I am tired of feeling sick. It makes me sad that my head hurts." And to finish the conversation, "I don't want to go to doctors." I empathized with her that it must be sad to feel sick for such a long time and maybe even make her feel angry. I feel like even she is getting to the end of her rope on this situation.

That leaves me as a Mom with a mission. I am going to start calling and pestering the ENT and Dr. T. I want to find out what our next step is and when we can do it. I want to do all I can to try and figure out how to help her feel better. I know this maybe chronic and she may not feel well for a long time. At the same time, I want to make sure we are working on it somehow. I owe that to Maggie and to the rest of us.

I am getting pretty confident in my gut instinct. I have usually been right on how real or serious something is with my kids. I suppose that I am lucky to be so connected with them. Someone once commented on how well I know my kids. Of course I know them well because they are my loves. I am completely enamored of them and raising them is my honor and current career. Matter of fact, I frequently find myself thanking God for making me the luckiest Mom in the universe. How would I be so happy or joyful without my blessings racing around, frustrating me and making me laugh? They are my light and my love!
