oh darling they are precious! love the spongebob :-) Thanks! Oh THEY love Sponge Bob for sure . Even the little one. As soon as he hears the song start playing, he starts in with "Bob-Bob, Bob-Bob." I got a Sponge Bob coloring book, and he gets excited with that. I got them both big snuggle Sponge Bob pillows from Target for Christmas this year. At first I thought the show was silly, but I actually am entertained by it now. Who lives in a pineapple under the sea... Carol (Mrs. V)

Warning: Males on the forum: I will be discussing issues of female reproductive organs. Please avert eyes if squeamish about this like my husband.
Well, I'm here to ask for prayers and good/positive thoughts for my niece again. Her life is such a mess that she really needs them all the time (I keep her on our prayer list at church every week.) But I talked to her Saturday night, and things are especially bad, so I'm more upset than normal about it.
A couple weeks ago, she had to be taken to the ER, because she had an ovarian cyst bust. She didn't realize she had any ovarian cysts until that time. I guess her abdominal area started hurting really badly while at school, and she got very sick to her stomach and started throwing up. They took her to the ER. They couldn't get her to open her legs for the male doctor (she's only had one pelvic exam, and it was with a female.) So instead they did an ultrasound/sonogram...something like that (she said the one that pregnant women get where they run something over your belly.) They found that it was an ovarian cyst. So they gave her some medicine for that and some pain killers (heavy-duty Ibuprofen and Vicodin.) So she was sick and hurting for days after that.
Then she started bleeding again, and had to go back to the doctor the following week. This time they did some sort of exam and said she seems to have other cysts as well. So she went and saw her actual gynecologist last Friday. I called her Saturday night and she said the dr. had said she has a few more cysts. But it's not endometriosis. I guess that's a plus. I don't know a whole lot about this type of thing. I've never had any problems with cysts. But I know my student worker had them, and hers were endometriosis, and she had to have surgery. But they tell Haley that there won't be surgery at this point. They'll keep an eye on them. She was given a prescription, but she doesn't know what for.
The dr. told her that if she gets stressed, there is a good chance the cysts will burst and she'll bleed. Well, one burst, either Friday night or Saturday night, I couldn't tell for sure which one she meant. She's not always easy to follow. So she was bleeding and hurting again. Ugh! Poor kid!
Her life is terrible enough as it is with her crack-whore mother and dead-beat dad, her idiot older sister and behavioral-problem younger brother. And her idiot, skanky, white-trash friends, and trashy boys pawing at her. A parade of dead-beat "step-dads" or boyfriends of her mom's that are neither respectable or acceptable.
Anyway, when I called her on Saturday night, it was about 7:30. She sounded funny and asked if she could call me back. I said sure. So at about 10:00 she finally called. She said when I'd called earlier, the cops had been there at her house talking to her and the rest of the family. The cops are called there so much, they know them by first names. Gawd, that makes me want to throw up. Anyway, she said her new step-dad (her mom and he got married about a month ago) got into a big fight with a neighbor, and it got pretty ugly and the cops were called. So Haley was having to tell them what she saw, etc. I guess she started shaking really bad, from nerves. And her mom said it was so bad she was convulsing. Well, Haley said it wasn't that bad, but it must've been pretty bad. So they also called the ambulance. Haley didn't go to the hospital, because she said she was ok. I guess she calmed down some.
But that's not good for these cysts. The doctor said if she gets stressed, they could burst. Well, hello! Every minute in her mother's house is full of stress.
So when she called she was at a family friend's house. And this friend sounds halfway respectable. She's married with a couple kids. And she likes to take Haley to church. That's a lot better than a lot of her friends who want her to smoke pot or drink. She calls this woman Aunt Wilma, even though she's not blood. Wilma took Haley down to some church thing in Kentucky a few weekends ago (the week before the cyst situation) and she said she felt that God talked to her and she was going to try to be good. So that made me feel better. I don't like fanatical religious people, but I'd rather have that be her influence than her crack-whore mother and friends.
So she was at Wilma's house for the night with her little brother. She wasn't sure where she would go after that. She didn't know where her mom was. I figure she was either at the bar or back with the deadbeat guy. Haley said she wanted to go get some more of her stuff, but he is locking them out. Her mom says she's going to divorce the guy (after a month-shocking), because "she can't put her kids through this." Oh, like she's G-D mother of the year now! She makes me want to puke! She's the one that put them in that position to begin with. Piece of crap.
So I'm so worried, because Haley is sick. She is going to only get sicker if she stays in this stressful situation. I wish that she would go live with my in-laws. They offered that to her. But she's afraid to leave her little brother (her little brother is not related to my husband's family, because he has a different dad than Haley and Ashley.)
Anyway, I know that's way more than any of you ever wanted to know about Haley's white-trash family. My in-laws are not trashy. They're crazy, but not trashy. But hubby's brother made a very bad choice in a girlfriend in high school, knocked her up, and this is the result. Haley's mother's family is just too much for words.

*BIGHUGS!* I'm so sorry that she's going though this. Did her Dr mention anything about her having PCOS? Those were the symptoms that I had when I was diagnosed (while I was working at my VERY stressful job). I really hope her situation gets better some how.

She didn't mention anything about that. I actually wish I could go with her to her dr. appts. because she doesn't understand everything, and her mom is not the best "responsible adult." But I'm not her official guardian, so I'm not able to be in on that stuff. Oh how I wish we could be her guardians. But she doesn't want to leave her school to move in with us. Thanks again. Carol

I have PCOS and I have cysts burst constantly In the beginning, it would be horribly painful, but after all these years it's just annoying for the most part although every once in a while I'll have a MAJOR painful one
I really hope she doesn't have PCOS I wouldn't wish this on my worst enemy
Hope things get better for her

It's poly cystic ovarian syndrome. It's a hormone imbalance that causes cysts and infertility issues (among other things). The best way to keep it under control is with birth control pills, which is what I do and I haven't had problems with them at all since I went on them. I did have to spend thousands of $ to get PG with my boys.

I have PCOS, but don't have any pain... My only problem related to it is the difficult to get pregnant, but with some medicines I got it. I think that she has to have the birth control pills to control it (like jennabelle said). I hope things get better, you both don't deserve it!!!!

Oh wish she would and live with you. If she does have PCOS it sound like her home environment is causing it.

Haley was put on birth control pills a couple months ago, because of irregular periods. Now I wonder if the problems she was having with her periods was because of this cyst problem. Thanks for the kind wishes, Bibi! Carol

That's why I wish she would live with my in-laws. The brother-in-law that is in karate with me lives at home with my in-laws temporarily. And Haley's deadbeat dad lives in their basement. I saw karate BIL in class tonight, and he said he saw Haley before he left for class. She had stopped by after work to tell them about the latest drama in her world. He told her to come there and stay Friday night and the weekend, so hopefully she will. I think that would help a lot to be away from the constant drama. Thanks for your kind words, Laurie. Carol

I hope she takes them regularly. Thanks for the info! I appreciate you all so much! Carol (Mrs. V)

Carol, I'm so sorry about your niece and nephew! Would you please adopt these kids already and get it over with?!? And I've got PCO too!! It took me 6 years to get pregnant and a whole lotta fertility drugs. It was a nightmare. Is your niece getting any followup care?? Jen
