So, the good news is the first half of the first week of first grade has been a success. Joe is thrilled with his new teacher and getting back to a routine has helped his behavior. Chet sailed through his tonsillectomy and adenoid removal like a champ.

Now…I rant…or vent…

If you recall we spent September of last year until just a few months ago in one doctor’s office after another. And, it all began just. like. this. Joe’s tube is galling out of his ear. I don’t know of it’s still in his eardrum, but I can see it. He had the “long term” tubes put in at the beginning of the year. Uh. It’s only been six months!!!

Next. I’ve got one week to get a very stubborn tooth out of his mouth or it’s extractions. He loves his dentist. I SO don’t want that to change.

It’s all a bit overwhelming. Why couldn’t the tube come out during the summer break. Noooo! It’s got to Be just like last year. Blech. I’m sure it will be fine. I’m sure it will be fine. I’m sure it will be fine…so now you know.

I’m still counting my blessings; even as I bi€<}!

I haven’t been on in so long I forgot my password…sheesh, I’m going to end up having a sheet of paper next to my computer with all my secret codes written down. Now that I’ve “cracked the code” I only have a few minutes before I’m to go get the boy. We’ve gotten some much needed rain today; still need LOADS more, but beggars can’t be choosers, right?

In other news, I applied for a teachers aide position at joe’s school. I doubt I get a call for an interview; however, I’m a little excited about the prospect. That being said, I’m not looking for a job…so, if I get it great. If not, I’ll gladly go back to happy house.

Hope you are all happy and well!

Joe and Chet are the most awesome of brothers. They’ve been playing so well together. I am blessed to have them and they are blessed to have each other!

We are home from a fantastic visit with my grandparents! Enjoyed every minute with them and Auntie Mary Jo; even got to see Chandon and Taylor and her boyfriend. Got the last culture result from the Dallas ENT, and no fungus has grown. That’s good, but we still don’t know then what is causing the fever. Wednesday we have a CT scan of joe’s pelvis and abdomen to see if there is anything going on there. Saw joe’s craniofacial surgeon and things look good there. We are on the fast track for braces and palate expansion. The speech pathologist said it’s time to bulk the boy up b/c it’s a three MONTH liquid only diet after bone graft! WHAT??! She said the surgery is easy though! No one is quite sure what we should do about this fever though.

I hope you all are able to count your blessings this Holiday Season! Merry Christmas!
