Zachary is a STAR!



Zac was star of the week this week at preschool. I was invited to go and see his little presentation at preschool. His preschool is probably the coolest thing in the land, they are so good there. Anyway, it was field trip day, and his presentation started off their day. KayeLynn and I went and met Crystal, Brandon, Zac and Chelsea there. When the kids get there, they need to go to the bathroom and wash their hands first off before going into class (how smart is that??), then they all go sit in a circle on the floor. His teacher is Miss Terry and she stood at the class with a poster board of all of Zac's favorite things. His favorite number is five. His favorite planet is Neptune and that's because his favorite color is blue. She asked all the kids to name Zac's favorite things. So freaking cute - they go through the list of his favorites and call out the answers. THEN, my favorite thing of all, the kids then go one-by-one and give reasons why they like Zac. Here are some answers:

He is kind

He is nice

He plays with me

He plays gentle

He is courageous

He is creative

He has a good imagination

And my all time favorite: He plays pirate superheros with me

These are four and five year olds. How freaking cute is that!!! After that cutest of all time thing, his family gets to give why they like Zac. Zac gets to choose who is first. He chose his mom, then his dad, then me, then KayeLynn. It was pretty cute to watch the teacher when she had him introduce us. "This is Coco, this is BooBoo". Obviously, we don't have the most traditional titles in our family. Ted would probably be the most traditional with "Papa", then Crystal is "Kisso", then James Rodger is "Raja or Jaja".

I had the best day today with them. The part of being a mom I always loved was watching my kids grow and learn, to see what they became in their lives. Now, I get to do it as "Grandma Coco". It's crazy to think how big they are getting. Zac will be in kindergarten next fall and Chelsea will be taking his place at the Cooperative Preschool.

P.S. Look Crystal, I called him Zac!!

CoCo's Journey - Mortality Reality

This week has been one for the books.  There has been some good things, not so good things and more.  I will explain. Last Saturday, my daughter and I drove to Idaho Falls.  We went to visit my bonus daughter and her family.  I wasn't feeling great.  But I wasn't feeling horrible.  By the time I got home, I had a lot of swelling.  I have been dealing with that for a few months.  I had started to see a specialist about my liver and my pancreas.  I had recently started a medication, it is a very pricey medication, but it's supposed to help me break down calories and nutrients so that my body absorbs them.  Even though I eat, my body was just shedding the nutrients and food I was eating and making it so I was not gaining weight.  I was 95 pounds.  And nothing I did would gain weight.  But I've gained 20 pounds over the last few months.  My clothes were uncomfortable.  But, I don't know if it's just the water retenti...

CoCo's Journey - TPN Me!!

 I just decided to do another post after spending my first night in my own bed with my new sexy bed partner.  TPN. TPN - Total Parenteral Nutrition.  Calories, vitamins, minerals and all that delivered through an intravenous line. PICC line -  A little stronger and more durable than a regular IV line.  It's inserted, via ultrasound, into a vein.  Mine is in my upper right arm.   IV Pump - an electrical system that pumps the IV fluid from my bag into my veins.   In essence, I have an IV bag, when first attached to my PICC line, it probably weighs 15 to 20 pounds.  It is kept in a backpack, so I can be mobile.  I have the pump plugged in, to keep it charged, when I'm not mobile and trying to get my home back in order after being gone for five days in the hospital. Me and my sexy new bed partner.  I know, I'm gorgeous.  Skinnier than a prepubescent 12-year-old boy and a mess.  Don't judge.  I'm working on it!! ...

CoCo's Journey - How Did I Get Here??

Malabsorption - definition - Malabsorption is a state arising from abnormality of food nutrients across the gastrointestinal tract.  Impairment can be single or multiple nutrients depending on the abnormality.  This may lead to malnutrition and a variety of anaemias (blood disorders). I have heard the term before.  But the first time I had heard it in response to me was a little over a week ago.  I was with my roommate daughter at her appointment and her doctor pointed to IVY and said, what's up with that??  So I told him.  And he said, people have no idea how hard it is when you have malabsorption.  People think you can just eat to make it better, but you can't. So let's go to the beginning.... If you have known me at all in the last few decades, you know that I was "morbidly obese".  I topped out at 245 pounds.  I had Type 2 Diabetes, high blood pressure, thyroid disease and stomach issues (gerd) for the last couple of decades and had taken...
