I blogged about helping my in-laws with a few chores around the house and shared this picture on Facebook, of my kids helping their grandparents put up their Christmas tree, when I noticed that one of my kids was missing…just like last time.
It's funny to see how each of them have grown and changed in such a short time — seriously, Glen is nearly 6' 2" tall — realizing that our middle girl was once again sidelined by a migraine…not so much.
Heather has missed a lot of school days over the years, but her migraines have become debilitating and I once again received the dreaded "I've got Heather here in my office, ready to puke her brains out, again" phone call from the school nurse, last week.
Long story, short: her migraines are becoming more frequent and she has a headache almost every single day, so we've made an appointment with a neurologist at the end of December.
I really hate it whenever my kids are hurting, but it seems Heather has drawn the short straw, especially when it comes to dealing with physical ailments that require visiting doctors specializing in anything ending in "ologist".
She is also smack-dab in the middle of the college applications rush, so it's NOT like the girl needs ONE MORE THING to worry about.
Having to wait an entire month to see the neurologist doesn't help, but we're hoping for some positive news and…more importantly…much needed relief from her migraines.
I mean, the poor kid's got enough on her plate, as it is…especially with me being her mother and our having to share a brain and everything…right?!?

I feel for her. I get it. I totally get it. I’m so sorry, Heather. Solidarity, sister. I’m always here if she needs to vent to… someone who gets it. Sending huge hugs.

I can only imagine for much this hurts. I hope that you can get some angers in December – which is suprisingly around the corner! {{{Hugs}}}

Don’t hate me for stating something OBVIOUS, but I didn’t know this for years and years: caffeine really helps. Excedrin Migraine (if you haven’t yet tried it and WHY didn’t I try it for 15 years? I don’t know) can really help. This advice is only if you are as stupid as I am. Which I hope you are not.

Great point, I think many folks would be surprised to hear that in some cases coffee is actually good for you.
My O.B. gave me the green light to drink at least 2 cups, because my migraines went rogue during my pregnancies.
We started sending the middle girl off with a travel mug of coffee her freshman year (her school is about a 30 min. bus ride) also, the school nurse keeps a stock of herbal teas and chocolate for her frequent flyer migraine sufferers.
I'm going to pick up some Excedrin and give that a try, thanks…oh, at our house…stupid is STILL a bad word!
