Everything is going to be just .......Great!!

My Gregory

Part 3

Well, with everything that has happened I began to have a fear of driving again so I took a week off from driving and I re-did Ethan's schedule. I guess the reason I became so fearful is because I put Ethan in harms way...had I not stopped I don't know what would have happened. Ethan is EVERYTHING to his Daddy and I. So, I have been taking it slow and not rushing to get anywhere. My "happy pills" have helped. I am glad I went to find help. I am so high-strung and a perfectionist that I get so determined to do everything that I just start running on empty. Both of my parents were super worried about me...they both said I have inherited there personalities. My brothers are not as high-strung like me. Greg has been very supportive to me...he says that it is "all in my head" and that I can do anything I put my mind too. I do want to prove to him I can. I thank GOD for protecting me and
Ethan that day.
We put OT on hold and he finished up with PT at Cook's. He is doing great with his quad-canes. Wednesday, is our only day we have to do anything. Dr. Gray said Ethan's hip looks wonderful! I want Ethan to enjoy his summer and the new house. I do love my new home..it's just adjustment. Takes me a good 30 min. to get to anywhere. I am people person....it will take a little time. Ethan and Greg are soooo happy here. Greg has done a 360 turn around...it takes him 20 min. to get to work.
I will get better and I will learn to take deep breathes, relax and enjoy life.

Part 2

So, like I was saying I stayed at the hospital for 3 days. They ran MRI's, CT's and TEE...which was horrible. I was a medical mystery...they thought my ulcer colitis had something to do with since I was 2 weeks overdue on my infusion. The Dr's suggested that I have a spinal tap done because I showed signs of MS. So, I have the scheduled for the end of July. Everyone was convinced that I was just over done..literally. I consider myself a strong individual, perfectionist, a little OCD on somethings but I am not superwoman. I am my hardest critic. So, 2 weeks ago after this all happened I went to see my PCP and she suggested that I take some medicine to take the edge off...I really did not want to take anything but I came to the realization that I needed help.

So What has happened to the Rine Family?

Ethan and Buster at Ryan's house.


Mrs. Jeannie and Ms.Bea on the last day of school!





I really don't know were to begin. The last two months have been crazy to say the least. We sold our home and moved out of Arlington May 29th. The three of us were sad to leave our home but excited for our new adventure. We lived with Ryan(aka very good friend) for 12 days..it was very interesting. Our house and Justin was still in the works which created alot of stress for Greg and I. I also was driving from Justin to Arlington for Ethan's last week of school. I was beginning to wear very thin. I had Ethan's therapies also so I was constantly moving never stopping literally. Ordering Ethan's wheelchair was alittle overwhelming...I was sad because I would be preferring to pick out a bicycle, but I am over that now. Ethan does not want one but I have been talking about it and he is starting to like the idea...a little. I think I traveled close to 700 miles in 5 days and I was done. On, Saturday June 4th something changed for me...a experience that I will never forget and will never let happen again. Ethan and I had gone to a "End of Year Party" on Arlington. I was extremely tired and not feeling myself but I kept on going. My vision was impaired and my left side was beginning to feel numbness. So, i decided the best thing was to get on our way to Justin....well, I didn't make it there. I was driving on HWY 121 and Glade Rd.and I could no longer drive. I was soooo very scared...Ethan was with me and he remained calm...luckily my oldest brother Stewart came to my rescue and called 911...Greg was on his way home to Justin. Everyone said that I had a stroke....when I got to the hospital they ran several tests and they kept me there for 3 days. More info. to come......

Graduation 2011

Yes , we are still alive but we are in JUSTIN, TEXAS NOW! Just got internet yesterday so I have alot to post. Here is alittle tease for now!!
Ethan graduated from Kooken Education Center on June 3, 2011! I have to brag on Ethan, this is from his ARD meeting: At a Chronological age of 5 1/2. Ethan scored an Age Equivalence of 6 yrs. 7 mos. on his receptive skills and 7yrs. 7 mos. on his expressive vocabulary skills. To think that he started at Kooken at 3yrs old and had the vocabulary of a 18 month old!!! Simply Amazing!!!
