or forever hold your peace. Scott and I saw Dr. Nick yesterday. Emotionally, Physically & Physiologically Scott has not been doing well. Scott has such a zest for life and people and lately he seem to be slipping way from both. Dr. Nick has a white board in the patient room so I decided to write a few words to remind me what I wanted to talk to Dr. Nick about. Above my words Scott thought it would be funny to write Scott Zech's problems 101. When Dr. Nick walked in the room , extended his hand and ask Scott how he was doing. Scott replied, Great. I then asked Dr. Nick to look at his white board there were a few things I felt needed to be addressed. Physically - Scott does not use his left hand. He uses his right hand to do everything. Dr. Nick wrote beside my list Dr. Nick's solution's. He still still limps and drags his left leg. My solution was to rehabilitate his left side. Dr. Nick agreed that it had to be rehabilitated to remind it that at one time it functioned normally. So he gave Scott a prescription for an occupational therapist. I also was concerned about Scott doing chores and over working himself and explained how exhausted and how he couldn't function physically or mentally. Dr. Nick agreed that Scott should cut his chores by 50%. Emotionally - Scott is depressed, withdrawn, agitated etc. The antidepressant Lexapro is not working. Dr. Nick solution was to switch it to Effexor. Sleeping - I will wake up at 12:00, 1:00 etc. and Scott is laying there watching T.V. If he not's sleeping, he's not resting. Dr. Nick solution was to give him 3 mg of Lunesta. Scott has taken mine before and sleeps really well. He slept like a baby last night. Scott scan was great and he will proceed with chemo on Monday.

Easter's on it's way. Scott and I took Skylar to see the Easter Bunny today at the mall. People are so rude when it comes to their children and trying to get a picture. I was taken back when this women said excuse me and proceeded to jump in line in front of Skylar. The woman stated that she was there earlier and that her kid decided not to have his picture made and if he has to stand in line again it would give him time to think about it and he wouldn't do it at all. I wanted to tell her that - that happens I don't have any pictures of my kids with Santa or the Easter Bunny and if her kid freaks out in front of Skylar she's not going to have her picture made either. But, I didn't I bit my tongue and let her a head of us ( she was pushing her way through anyway). Did it not occur to her that she was making such a big deal she was freaking the little kid out more than what he already was. Well exactly what I thought would happen did - No way was Skylar sitting on this bunnies lap. It took a little coaxing from Scott but she did agree to stand in front of the bunny as long as he wasn't touching her and she wasn't touching him.
