wolf?

Please pray for us if you think of it this week. 

Owen is still fighting a cold... or so I keep hoping. I am really starting to worry it may be the shunt, but keep passing it off as a cold or typical 2 year old stuff. I know I sound like a broken record and ultra paranoid about this issue... and luckily I've been wrong before... but that nagging thought is always there and when it gets loud enough I worry. so please pray. (I want him to be well enough to spend this weekend with grandpa and grandma Potter. special weekend with just him— overnight. I want him to have fun, not be miserable.)

Owen has been REALLY sleepy lately. takes 2 or 3 naps a day when he was basically down to one. BUT when he's up he isn't always lethargic, BUT then sometimes he is—just lays around and wants to cuddle, lies on the floor, or cries a lot.

He hasn't had the best appetite lately. BUT sometimes he'll eat 7 chicken nuggets or his whole PB&J sandwich. It MUST be just normal 2 year old finikiness, right?

And his eyes have been drifting... A LOT.

And he has been waking up in the night crying. And waking from naps crying... maybe that's JUST A PHASE, right? BUT it's like something hurts. BUT maybe I'm making it up.

And he's just not himself... Really grumpy and frustrated easily. Hitting and screaming when he gets mad. BUT maybe that's just a phase too. BUT that's what he was doing last time when his shunt was OVER-draining. BUT maybe it's just the cold and he doesn't feel good. BUT then sometimes he's happy as can be.

It is so hard to tell.

Why can't he just throw up repeatedly or have... say... ANY "classic symptom"... EVER! Something to make it obvious!

The eye thing is what is really what makes me wonder the most. the eyes in conjunction with the behavior.

I don't know.

Please pray for wisdom for us. I definitely not at the point of taking him in yet. Maybe I'll call Gloria tomorrow and just get her opinion.

I don't want to be like the little boy who cried "wolf!" But I don't want him to suffer for a month while I decided whether or not there's something wrong. Probably it's just a little off part of the time and giving him a headache or something. why do we always have to have these "partial clogs"? He's had that several times, but they only do something when it gets really bad. Meanwhile, "kinda bad" is not fun. I'm hoping it resolves itself again, like it did last time. His body just adjusted.


BUT then again, it could all be nothing. Maybe it's all in my head.

Grrrr.... shunts!
