Do you think if I put in a request now for next week to not suck, it might be granted?
'Cause really, last week sucked. And this week, pretty much a suckfest too.
Firstly, my mom's diabetic 11 year old cat Tigger has been sick. He had something that looked like a seizure the other day. We were told it might have been a reaction to flea treatments and him being diabetic. So we gave the cat a bath. That wasn't a lot of fun. The next day my mom took him to the vet. Turns out he is VERY anemic. They aren't sure why, and my mom flat cannot afford the tests to really figure out why. So far the vet is treating him as best as he can, with fluids mostly. This vet doesn't keep animals overnight, so we keep having to take him back in to be checked again. They are being super great and not charging for the extra care, God bless them. But it remains to be seen if anything they can do at this point will help.
Also, today Tyler had a doctor's appointment at his GI specialist. Tyler has been treated for acid reflux since he was a newborn. He is also super picky about what he will eat and he has issues with constipation. I went in thinking they were going to tell us to keep doing what we are doing, since he isn't doing too badly. Instead, they said they want to do an endoscopy to see if there is an underlying problem that is causing him to not eat that well. They also want to put a probe in for 24 hours that will measure the amount of reflux he's having. Just the thought of putting him through that is making me feel sick. I know it's what is best, they'll be able to treat him if there is a problem or we can take him off the reflux medication if that's not an issue anymore. But it's still an awful though for a mother to have to allow her child to go through a scary thing like that.
Finally, I had my HSG test today. It went okay, my uterus and right fallopian tube look good, but they dye wouldn't go through my left tube. The doctor is blaming the fact that I was cramping during the procedure. Apparently, the opening of the tube is only about 1 millimeter, so if the uterus is cramping, the dye might not be able to get through. Since the dye wasn't getting in at all and I don't have any history that would suggest a blockage, he isn't very concerned. So we will continue with this cycle of Clomid and then move on if it doesn't work.
I guess I didn't think they would find anything abnormal, so now that nasty doubt is creeping in a little bit. I know that if it's meant to be, it will happen. But in this moment, I feel overwhelmed and sad. I guess it's probably everything going on at once.
But if the universe could possibly squeeze out a less stressful, more pleasant or at least less eventful week next week, I would really appreciate it. Just putting it out there.

I think it would have been just as easy to take if you had the test done and they said "look here's your problem and now we can fix it". It sounds like you are in super hands though.
I totally understand why you would be stressed over the stuff they want to do to Tyler. I'm assuming he'll be sedated or put under. I think it's scarier when it's your first and you haven't had to deal with a lot of it, but trust me, he'll be just fine. Doesn't mean it will be pleasant, but you'll make it because that's what us moms do. :) And I totally predict a better week for you. You deserve it.
Orion had those exact tests done about the same age as Tyler. It turned out everything was normal. It is gut wrenching to put your child through this stuff. The hardest part of Orion's ordeal was watching the nurses wheel him away at Riley for his endoscopy. I just wanted to run after him! Then we had to deal with Orion trying to pull out the tube for the next day. Yeah, that wasn't fun. He had his arms wrapped in a way where he couldn't bend them up to his face.
