This is Lou’s favorite thing to say to all his girls. The funny thing is that if Tiara is in earshot of any compliment given to anyone but her, she immediately jumps to attention, pats her own chest and says “me, me!” This morning Lou and I were standing in the kitchen watching Tiara eat…
daily life with tiara
I can be so ungracious….
So we made the trip to UCLA to see Tiara’s neuro-psychiatrist and like I thought she didn’t have a great deal to offer. The good news is that when I was talking to her and discussing what has been going on we both came to the conclusion that Tiara is either toxic from her…
When all else fails, sing!
My life with Tiara has been so difficult lately that I haven’t tried taking her for a walk in the morning for the past 5 days. Each morning I think about going and then she starts acting bad and I realize I don’t have the strength to fight her and then push her for 4…
She finally got my face!
I know I have mentioned on several occasions that keeping my face free of scratches is big on my list of priorities. Vain, yes I am. I put a lot of effort into caring for my skin and the last thing I need is a bunch of scars on my face. The rest of my…
Not sure what is going on…
Not sure what is going with Tiara but she still isn’t quite right. This morning she fell right back to sleep after her meds and wasn’t interested in going for a walk. When she woke up she was super unsteady of her feet and was having a hard time walking. We made a quick trip…
The vomit seizure showed up again!
I was going to tell you all the boring details of my weekend but I decided I should just skip to the “good stuff”. The “good stuff” started on Sunday morning when Lou decided we should take Tiara to church. Normally Lou leaves early for work on Sunday and Trinity, Nana and I go to…
She did it!
Yesterday Tiara had a ton of dental work done under anesthesia and wasn’t able to eat until the late afternoon and she did it! I followed my plan of getting her up at 5:30 am and feeding her and doing her meds. We went for a walk and after that she slept. I actually had…
What I am dreading…
So today Tiara is scheduled to have a root canal, a prior root canal fixed and several cavities filled while under anesthesia at Choc. I am super happy she is getting this dental work done because her teeth have been bothering her but what is killing me is SHE IS SCHEDULED TO HAVE THIS DONE…
The violence continues…
I have to say this past Monday’s scratch attack on my hands is the worst I have endured to date. Monday started out like most of our days but I could tell my 4:30 p.m. I was in trouble. It’s not that Tiara was being worse than normal it’s just that sometimes I am more…
Lord have mercy!
This is what I say to myself over and over again when I think I will not survive another minute of my life. I pray, “Lord have mercy, Christ have mercy, please help me to continue on.” I repeated this mantra to myself over and over again many times this weekend as I do most…
