How are all of you?
Dennis is feeling a little under the weather with an ear infection or two. He has what the audiologist called effusion and I have yet to hear from the ENT so I scheduled Dennis in with our regular doctor. I'm taking Alex in too because he woke up crying the other night complaining of ear pain also. Since, he has been fine, but I am taking no chances. I am also going to look into getting a diaper prescription.
I looked into various programs-- and we always seem to be above the income requirement to qualify for any services. I know, I know we are blessed to have financial stability right now, and frankly I would like to see the services being used by those who truly can't afford them otherwise, but as a Mom I have to know that I turned every stone for my child to make sure we are making good use of any and all of the programs that are available in our state. I also can't help but feel some pressure from the IEP team that I make sure and look into all of these different programs to offset some of the responsibility.
Boy is that time consuming.
Enough complaining though. I'm off to the doctor. I should also find out the date of Dennis' next surgery later today.

Oh, that sounds painful! My dad had a lung effusion. It meant that it was producing fluid. Poor baby! Please give him a hug for me.

Well honestly, that is what are tax dollars are for!! I would love to see you get a script for diapers for him. I just thought about that the other day. I hope both boys feel better soon!
What about applying for SSI benefits for Alex? Don't know how that plays out with the question of your family income...it's been too long since it was a question for us. Just a thought. Hope everyone feels better soon.
Oh I hope everything gets cleared up quickly.

"When we put bits into the mouths of horses to make them obey us, we can turn the whole animal. Or take ships as an example. Although they are so large and are driven by strong winds, they are steered by a very small rudder wherever the pilot wants to go. Likewise the tongue is a small part of the body, but it makes great boasts. Consider what a great forest is set on fire by a small spark. The tongue also is a fire, a world of evil among the parts of the body. It corrupts the whole person, sets the whole course of his life on fire, and is itself set on fire by hell." James 3:3-7 Kristen, this is what I tell my children when they say unkind things....
Saying unkind things tells you so much about a person and I think we really need to pray for Kristen she really needs it. Maybe God will reveal his love to her in such a way that her life and attitude would change.
I will just never understand going to someone's blog with the intention of judging and being hateful. It really doesn't make any sense.
Anyway, I hope the boys feel better soon. Ear infections are the worst! I never really felt the proper sympathy though until I got one last winter. You have a whole different view of them then. Ouchie!
do you feel better now Kristen? hope so..we are all praying for you!
