Crazy is the only way to describe the day.

Some of you may remember that I talked about my son having his eye hemorrhage a few weeks ago. Out of the blue and for no reason that anyone can find, his eye had a huge hemorrhage one night. It was a lot of blood, and it was scary. Of course we went to the hospital, had two days of scans and tests and such, it happened a few more times, and finally slowed. It would stop at times for several hours, then start again, although slowly--not like the original hemorrhage. We have had to go back to the ER twice for this, after the two day visit. Since then, I have taken him to two eye specialists. No one can figure this out!! Not the ER doctors, not the specialists, nobody! Now they have some big whig eye specialist that comes once a month, so he is going to have us come in and see him. It was discussed that I should take him to Chicago, but there will be a wait on that, too. Chicago is several hours away, he doesn't really travel well right now, and it just doesn't sound like the best idea. They want us to wait on what son calls ''the special specialist.'' Today he had a double iron infusion. He was camped out at the treatment center--when they do a double infusion, it takes 2-3 hours. And since he was going to be there that long, it seemed to be a great time for Mom to go to Aldi and get some much needed food. (I have several insulated tote bags, etc. for these trips since we won't be home for a bit.) It didn't take me long, and I headed back in plenty of time. When I got inside the center, I went to where he was and there was a doctor, I think 4 nurse-type of people, and a bunch of fussing going on, monitors, etc. His eye hemorrhaged big time and scared him and all of them. We ended up being there for a lot longer than we planned. It was discussed that he be admitted again, but the attending physician said that since nothing was discovered and they still haven't found the source of this mess, we could come home until tomorrow. A long day. He wanted to sit on the couch, said he wasn't tired. But he is asleep on the couch. I will be keeping my eyes on him. Hey, at least we aren't bored! (I know, I know...bad joke.)
