Time after time

It seems life is going always be hard for my family. Medicly speaking. Monday Wayne had two Dr's apointments and Killian had one. Waynes first was with our family Dr who seems to not do a damned thing for him except up his blood pressure meds everytime. Wayne still has very bad headaches and can't take much more. We don't know why. Blood pressure was part of it. Stress of couse too . But there is something else going on and this Dr is not taking it seriously enough. We are changing Dr's next apointment. The second Dr was a ear nose and throat specailst. He says he can so help Wayne with his nose. He has a 90% succsess rate. Wayne will be able to breathe and stop snoring. He will be able to come back to bed!! The couch has been very hard on him. Nobody wants to sleep on the couch for months on end. Iv'e offered many times for a night but he always turns me down. The surgery will stop the sinus infextions as well. We knew it would but it was nice to hear that from the Dr as well. At least that was a good apointment! Wayne has to have a catscan at the end of the month to get insurance to approve the surgery. Silly expensive..The Dr does have to have that scan to see what hes looking at doing and how messed up my poor hubbys nose is. So awsome for Wayne to be so close to releif! I wish Killians apointment could have gone better. It was awful and I did alot of crying. We took him off one med altogther because he lost to much weight on it. We now think that wasn't the whole reason. Killian had xrys of his legs done for starters becuase they hurt so much and it isn't consistent with growing pains. It turns out that nothing is wrong that shows in the exray. I only know that already because I know the tech that took the pics. I am so releaved that nothing was wrong with his legs or hips. My friend was freakin out because it was so much radation for a little boy to get. She could not sheild any part of Killians body because the hips had to be done as well. She was able to get what she needed in 7 shots instead of 25. She told me there was noway she would do that many on him. Then Killian had his blood drawn. There are about 6 tests that are being done. We won't know those results for awhile. We had to go back today to have more blood drawn because there wasn't enough drawn for one of the tests. It didn't go over well with Killian but he got through it. Since he went off the one med it has been awful with him. It's awful no matter what we seem to do. he has been uncontroble for the last couple days. Very mouthy, disrespectul, can't keep hands to himself, and doesn't listen. Sounds like a normal kid thing huh?? But it's not the same with him right now. It has been so bad I am worried about my job. I have to take both kids with me. he goes out to the hall and screams. I am sure my job is fine but it freaks me out to no end. I don't know what to do. Either i'm crying because he looks like death or frustrated because hes out of control. Compacted with Waynes issues makes for a stressful life. The postive thing about Killian right now is that he has been eating the last two days. Something that was hard to get him to do. He would cry and get so mad for us making him eat meals. He has been playing outside as well, soemthing else I could not get him to do at home. If anyone has a child or friend with adhd please please take the warnings very seriouly about the meds they go on. It almost killed my son. whatever else is wrong with him wasn't helped with it but made something worse. There are other options that aren't stimulants and are also made for ADHD. killian looked so gaunt and colorless. He will always be on the small side but never looked like he does now. children should not have dark circles under their eyes and look like they should be in a wheel chair. My poor boy hurts when he runs to much..and thats not always alot. Did the med make this worse as well?? I hope to find the answer.
