Good Morning campers!!
How is everyone doing this weekend? Mine has been great so far..the usual Mexican Friday night..yesterday we decided to just head out in the car and see where we ended up..the weather was perfect..sunny and about 70 degrees..we ended up in a quaint little town called Melrose..we had lunch in a deli and then drove back through Waldo..stopped at the flea market and browsed around..came home and read on the deck for an hour then grilled chicken on the barbecue and made some wraps with it..very light and delicious...watch a movie and called it a night..today I am getting the laundry done and then I plan on doing some tidying up in the garden...it's supposed to be nice weather again...tomorrow starts my new schedule..I am back on the front desk tomorrow and then in the clinic Tuesday..hope I remember to go in..haven't worked on a Tuesday in ages... ;-)
As a few of you already know my son was born with a sunken chest..the proper medical term for this is pectus excavatum..click below for the visual..
Until recently it hadn't bothered him but he began saying he couldn't catch his breath..and he was having some discomfort in his chest so we took him to his Dr. who did an EKG and she has now referred him to a cardiologist..we go Thursday...if you are so inclined please keep Ry in your prayers..thanks...I don't talk a whole lot about personal stuff but this has me a bit scared... :-(
nothing much else to report from this end...life is plodding along just fine and that's the way I like it... I hope you all have a great Sunday..to all the football fans who have a team they support in the Super bowl I say party on!!! may the best team win..;-)
Congrats to all who got "Nice Matters" awards.. I did not get one and for some reason I am tickled pink about it...;-)

Oh Lyn...I have never ever heard of this complication...but Ry is certainly in my prayers this very minute...and will be for a while....Ry must be a very strong young man....like his Mom...so to speak!!! God Bless....hugs...Ora
((((((((((((HUGSTOYOU)))))))))))))))I will keep your Son in my prayers.
Will definitely keep your son in my prayers!! I read the link you sent, and it looks like it's common enough where the drs know how to handle it well, but I know it can still be scary... but be comforted in that thought.
Take Care,
Joann
Your son is in my prayers!! I'm so sorry he's having some problems and I hope everything is ok.
Will keep you son in my prayers and hope all goes well. You are so fortunate to have such nice weather we are still in winter with leaden skies. LOve Joan.
I am glad you are having a great weekend ~ Oh how I envy you that sunshine ~ hope your new work schedule goes well ~ hope you do remember to go in Tuesday :o) will keep Ry in my thoughts and prayers ~ Ally x
Sending Prayers your way...God bless love Vicky
Your son is in my thoughts sweetie.
I got only one of the awards, and I was a bit pissed over that?! I guess I'm not nice either. Go figure!
Love ya (in a mean way of course)
E.
Good luck to your son. I will keep him in my prayers. Have a good day today.
Pam
I will say a wee prayer for your son Lyn. Saturday sounded perfect. Enjoy the rest of the weekend, try not to worry too much about your wee treasure, Easier said than done, I know, but I'm sure that it all will work out just fine. Love Pam xx
Because Im old I forget what Im doing (sometimes I tell lies lol ),did I send you an award ? you should have one ,pleased accept your award from me ,and if any one complains tell ''I said so ''so there ,all the things you have been talking about sounds crazy ,its freezing cold here ,prayers for your son ...love Jan xx
HI
Hope all goes well with your son.....by the way I think you are nice lol Louise xx
LOL on not getting the "nice matters" award AND being tickled pink about it. That is too funny really. You dance to the beat of your own drum and that's why you have a lot of readers, a lot of followers and a lot of people who DO love you. No need to be awarded with a little graphic to show THAT now do ya??? LOL. ;) THAT just proves how UN-superficial you AREN'T!!!!
As for your son, I will definitely be praying. That is super scary. And I really hope surgery will NOT have to be an option. A mother's worse nightmare for sure. So I will definitely be sending up special prayers for Ry.
You have a great Superbowl Sunday!!!
Take care and lots of love and hugs sent your way,
Jen
Well if I knew how to do all these inserts etc., you would have a nice matters award from me! I hope that your son gets on ok when he sees the specialist and I'll be thinking of him and wishing him all good things. I know you must be worried but he has got to this age without a lot of problems and that must be encouraging. Your weekend so far sounds wonderful and it may cheer you up to know that the weather here is bitterly cold and there is no way I am doing a barbie today! We haven't had any snow yet in Herts and I am hoping it will stay that way. I am so behind on things here ... 383 alerts, eeek, so will be looking through for your other entries to catch up. Special Hugs dear friend. Tells x
lol...you are too cute. I will most definately be praying for Ry about his health... please keep us posted as to how everything goes.
God bless
Amanda
P.S. I dont need to see that someone gave you and award to know your nice.
Sounds like a lovely weekend. I will keep Ry in my thoughts, and(as someone wh has open heart surgery 114 years ago and am fine now, I know how far cardiology and surgery for sunken chests have come-he will be fine. Margo
Thanks Lyn for the congrats! It is nice to be recognized for something positive, and just because you did not get one this go round does not make you a mean person. To be honest, I think all of us can be a little of both at times, lol. Do I hear an "Amen"? On a serious note, I am so sorry to hear about your son, Ry. I will pray for him. Bless him! Big hugs your way!
Keeping Ryan in prayer...and you are nice no worries....I thought I was too, but alas....I've been pretty whiny lately.
Michele
As you know Lyn, I don't often pray but when I do I do. I will pray my fricken hardest for Ry tonight. You know how dear you are to me and that goes for your family too, even though I don't know them.
Gaz xxxxxxxxx
You can bet on me saying a prayer for him and of course you as well. Have a good Sunday.
Phil
I will pray for him
Well, if you didn't get one, you deserved one so have an honorary NICE MATTERS award from me. I think you must need one, even if you are tickled pink. Go to my journal and get the award and post it on your about me section. All the people I know in JLand are super nice people. I will be praying for your son and hoping that all will be well with him. I've laundry to do too. I usually try doing during the week, but got behind this week. Take good care and don't forget to get your NICE MATTERS award. 'On Ya' - ma
I so wish I could have a lazy day.... maybe on Monday. I just know that Ryan will be fine. Medicine has come so far and they will be able "fix" this. So don't worry.

my brother and my mother have that condition...we call my brothers his "hairy dent". My nephew, my brothers son, had the surgery for this last year..do you remember? It is MAJOR MAJOR surgery but he is doing great. So,i will of course pray for your sweet son.
I think you are VERY nice, at least to me. I do not like things like that where you have to pick a certain #....if you noticed, i did not do it in my J and won't.
I am glad you had a nice day. I hope today is a happy one for you.
love you
lisa
Sounds as though your day out and about was what you needed. I will keep Ry in my thoughts and prayers for positive results. Take care and enjoy your sunshine.

I'm glad somebody's getting some sunshine, it's blimmin' freezin' here!
I followed the link to pectus excawotsit site. Crikey, no wonder you're scared. I hope everything goes well at the docs and your son is soon feeling better.
B. x
sounds like one of our days!
glad you had a good time!

Well I wanted to give you a Nice Matters Award and IF I had been smarter when I made that entry I would have just generally gave it to all my readers because I think each and every one of you all are special people. I hate picking.
I hope your son is okay. Let us know after the appointment. Do you think he's just having problems now where he is growing up? Can you have surgery to correct that? I don't know anything about the condition I'm just asking in general.
Take care and Hugs, Chrissie
I will be keeping your son in my prayers and thoughts and I think you are very nice. You just can't help it, your nice and I like you that way.
Julie
you know prayers are going your son's way... including you too!!! Nice? You? HELL YES!!! Don't get all smug thinkin you aren't :)~

Your son is in my thoughts and prayers. -Missy
I will definetely keep him in my prayers and your family as well. Hope this week goes well for you all. : )
Allison
Heehee! For some reason, your comment about 'nice matters' cracked me right up!
Good grief! I remember something about Ryan but didn't remember what! I will, of course, be sending all my positive vibes your way (and his). How scary honey. I love you.
Hope the news is good on Ry on Tuesday, I'll keep him in my prayers. Hugs, Estela
Please keep us informed about your son......
I will make sure he is in my prayers...
Mornin'! Sounds like someone had the perfect Saturday! Good for you. Fingers crossed for Ryan at the docs appointment. You know the marvels of modern medicine now - but as a Mum you also know the heartbreak in seeing your kids not feeling 100%! Many prayers for your boy.
Good luck with your new roster too. I am on my last week of sick leave and go back next Monday. Can't say I miss the place either!!! Pay checks, well that I miss but I certainly don't miss the chaos and madness of Mondays on the desk!
Have a wonderful week!
Hugs
Wendy in Oz
Special thoughts for your son...
Linda :)
I had never heard of this condition....good thoughts sent to your son!
Russ
I'll be praying for Ryan. poor guy. That can't be much fun to deal with.
Don't forget to go to work Tuesday. They do like it when you show up.
I think it's funny that you are thrilled not to get a nice matters award. You're such a rebel!
Traci
Sounds like a great weekend :)
Many prayers going to your son!
We can be ticked pink together <grin>
Hugs,
Gretchen
I worked with a lady whose son had this condition. At age 5 he had to have surgery to correct it. It went very well, and he had a fine, fast recovery. I certainly hope that your son is doing well and will continue to do well.
Lori
I will be sure to keep RY in my prayers. Sorry he (and You) have to go through such a thing. :)

Hey Lyn !!!!!!
I am doing well. Thank you for sharing your life with us. I do want to send out my thoughts for a speedy recovery for your son. You might also want to know that I announced your award on my journal so you will be happy to know that you did get a "Nice Matters" Award so CONGRATULATIONS !!!!!!!!!!
Hi Lyn! I'm keeping your son in my thoughts! I didn't get Ms. Matters award either...and I'm thrilled as well.. LOL... Take care, and try not to worry too much! Hugs - Julie
I will most definitely be praying for Ryan.....please let us know how the appointment comes out.
I didn't send my "nice matters" award back out that I received, I just felt uncomfortable chosing some, and leaving others behind, when I consider every J-lander that I read, "nice" and it matters enough that my life has been changed by their kindness to me. So I just asked people reading my journal to pick 5 journals they haven't read before and give them a try.
Your nice weather sounds wonderful....it's soooooo cold, here!!!
Pooh Hugs,
Linda
Ryan is at the top of my prayer list Lyn and I an putting both your names into the Temple as I am quite sure you could use some comfort right now to calm your fears! ((((Hugs)))) Thanks so much for sharing with us and allowing us to care. Oh, you do make me jealous when you talk about your Friday Mexican food nights! What I wouldn't give for a decent Mexican meal that I hadn't cooked myself! And a non acoholic margarita! Yumm!!! We used to go to Chi Chi's years ago and loved it and their Chimichangas!
Have a great week and hey, don't forget to go to work tommorrow!
love,
Marie

xoxo ~Myra
LOL I knew you and I were meant to be great friends ... I didn't get a nice matters award either (imagine that) but like I told my closest friends, the day I get one of those awards is the day I know it's time to stop journaling because I won't be me any more. ::vbeg:: Too funny that we felt the same way about that.
Stacy
I can identify with 'scared' - thinking of you all.
Angie, xx
Prayers & Well wishes to your son. sounds like a great Sunday.
Brenda
Wow look at you 52 comments. I've never been here before but wanted to thank you for your comment on my journal. I don't know why you didn't get a nice award, but I'm sure you should have. I love your journal it is very pretty and nice to read. I'll visit again. Joni
Sorry I am late,I am going round the journals at a snails pace for some reason. I have seen quite a few boys with pectus excavatum. Best wishes to Ryan on his appointment.I will say a prayer for him. . .and his Mum who is bound to worry over him.
Oh my, I do pray things will come out well with your son. Please keep your readers posted. Have a lovely week...and hope you remembered to go into work today. *winks*
Blessings,
Cindy
Prayers for your boy today.
