Hillfarm - good news, thank heavens.

Thanks everyone for the kind thoughts.

I rudely didnt say that earlier. My brain is prone to jumps in focus as of late.

No problem You kinda have a lot on your mind at the moment Glad there was no sugar in his urine. Hope it is nothing serious!

Back from doc. His levels were too high. So a longer fasting test in the morning. He does not have sugar in his urine. YAY. But other results concerned her, so she will go over the results with me tomorrow, after he does the glucose test.
He was so brave when they stuck him with the needles. He and dad nearly passed out fromthe gore of it going threw the tube. LOL. I found that entertaining. Wimps.

If you can get him on fermented cod liver oil asap, you will be able to do one of two things.
If its pre diabetes or type 2, you can reverse it very fast, with the addition of good nutrient dense foods, or, if he does end up having Type 1, you can stop the organ and nerve damage that normally occurs.
We have lots of experience with this, so feel free to pm me for more info if you want.

Thanks for the info BB. And he officially does not have diabetes. His levels dropped to 70 at the three hour mark, so he's makin insulin. But we were told to check him yearly and watch his symptoms. He may be pre diabetic. so, we are going to treat him as having the potential and we are all going to adjust our diets and Im gonna read as much as i can to reduce his risks and our own. We are also at risk considering our family history.

I got 6 eggs today. I am such a proud hen mommy. My girls are so sweet.

Bought them some extra meal worms just to spoil them. and some raisens and a few heads of cabbage. Love love love my lil girls.

Also bought a new a/c unit. its a portable, meaning its not in the window. its on the floor and it vents out the window or threw a hole in the wall. So far its amazing and its finally cool in here. yaay.

That's good news about your boy! And some a/c, too!

 

[LovinLife]

What a scare but I'm glad he's going to be ok!

 

[hillfarm]

it was very scarey. thanks for the sweet thoughts.

Just a side note. Since DH found out i was attening al anon, he has not touched whiskey. still a few beers, but no hard stuff. Been nice. I have just kept my mouth shut and let him decide what he wants to do, and I have focused on my self and my kids and gave him time. I hope he is doing some soul searching. He has been very kind and I have been polite and non confortational. Seems to be a good approach so far.

Welp, here's to life being good, and family being healthy. One step at a time, its all i can do at the moment. and I am in a better place today than i was yesterday.

Long weekend of yanking apart my kitchen and putting in new cabinets. But man it is looking good.

 

[Britesea]

pictures?!

 

[hillfarm]

right now it would be pics of a bomb exploding in a kitchen. LOL. He's good about shop vaccing his way threw it so he keeps the mess down, but I had to climb over a saw on the floor and several parts to a 2z4 . When its done I will post pics, but i need to sand and paint and we have to get the molding done....

Sneezing my head off. Stinking worthless ragweed. ugh.

I am off today and i dont know where to start. I should probably do the basics. Dishes and laundry.

 

[hillfarm]

Finally got the phone lines installed and have affordable internet finally. Took a week to get it all done, but I'm back online.

Have a wonderful stomach bug, so does hubby and son. So we are a yuckky stinky family at the moment.

So an update:

Bought 4 new baby chicks. Two clean legged bantams, a Red crested Polish Silkie Sultan or something like that. And I think a Columbian Cochin.

Also got a white cornish bantam roo for the lil girls. He's young but we partitioned the run and built a mini coop for them. The two tiny new chicks will be his when they mature more.

Gathering nine eggs a day, so we are egg over whelm round here. Giving them to friends and co workers.

Green beans have sprouted in the garden, guess they are leftover from spring planting.

Got gobs done around the back yard, and put up halloween decoration in front yard. Frankenstien is in the tree and the headstones are planted. We go a lil nutty. But have so much fun.

Saved 70 dollars at the grocery store this morning, by couponing. I was thrilled.

Hope everyone is doing well.
