Unit 6 Blogs

1. During the last 6 weeks, I have been through some headaches. I had a couple of friends to come stay with us for awhile since they were having family problems where they were and needed to get away from it. It’s also been really fun since the baby has decided to cut his molars now. I finally got used to sleeping over the last few weeks since he was on hiatus from teething and now the poor thing is worse than ever. I feel so bad that there isn’t more that I can do for him. He has been really bad the last Few days, all he has done day or night is scream and there has been little to nothing that any of us can do to soothe him. With 4 adults with at least a couple of decades of experience (combined) that is saying something. I said the whole time I was pregnant though that since he was going to be last he would give me the most trouble and he lived up to that starting in the womb. Only a couple more months though and hopefully the worst parts of teething will be over and we will all get some rest. I also had to attend my mother’s funeral this week. It was very difficult to deal with that, school, and four kids. My schoolwork was not all posted on time, but at least it’s not too far behind since I always work ahead.

2. I’m not really sure how my ideas on bipolar disorder will influence future research. I do know that my research so far has opened my eyes to how long I have bee suffering from it and how many aspects of my life have really been affected though. It has also given me some more insight to more of the indicators to watch for in my children since it has been shown to run in families. That is the real reason I chose my topic for this term and glad that I was given the opportunity to write and research something that is so important to me and my family.
