update

[Guest guest]

Hi all, I hate to do updates to everyone, but seems like time is short these

days--ok all days. Pat has been laid off for almost 2 wks now --beginning to

seem like months--you know what I mean!!!

the weather is REALLY cold the last two days have been delayed openings--not

that 90 minutes makes too much difference when the high is 11 with wind chills

of 4 below. but makes sleeping in nice.

Pat and I took tim to the ent last week at chop--to look into making his ear

canal bigger--they are so small to begin with and have scar tissue from surgery

so we are at the local --well 45 minutes away vs 90--ent to get wax out every

4-6 weeks. Dr. Tom wants a cat scan done--that is on the 21st of course have

to sedate him--because he won't lay still--or can't. he says can be done, but

may interfere with swimming--he would make opening bigger than need be in order

to compensate should there be more scar tissue. guess we'll see.

the boys all had great report cards!!! all A's and B's from all 3!! yea!!!

although we go next monday to talk w/ tim's teacher's, therapists and social

worker about his lack of enthusiasm to do homework, stay in bed an get up. or

his refusing to do homework --for the first time he will get a low grade because

of not doing work--not sure if it will make an imppression or not. he is

definitely in the tween stage--and I'm not liking it!!!

such an attititude--and refusal to do things--it's not fun--the teacher is very

understanding and of course most days he's just lovely at school--then he comes

home and i CAN TELL AS SOON AS HE'S OFF THE BUS what kind of day we will have.

grandma even got to see it on sunday--refusal to get clothes off pj's on--part

of it was not wanting to leave.

and he is not like keegan or liam I can 't take away toys, game cube etc. he

doesn't care about that. even tv is no big deal--only thing that matters is the

phone and even then he getting so that is no biggy.

I realize his behavior is not as bad as it could be but it is driving us

nuts---and the math augh-----one minute he knows it, the next, we are speakng

french and he's never done those problems before!!!

keegan is having a fermeculum? today--the piece of skin from your gums in front

by front teeth--his goes too far down and is preventing his 2 front teeth to go

together. gotta go--pat was going to take him he's still at the

bank---augh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! guess that's all the news anyway!
