Crazy Train...let me off please....

Well it's been a heck of a month, esp the last few weeks...just one doc appt after another...

Most of you know, poor Jim caught the flu a couple weeks ago...the world stops when you are that sick...TG he is finally feeling better!!

Then in a prior post, I had written about how Ash had a cronic cough, took her to her doc and they said it was a sinus infection, and put her on Amoxicillan...it never worked...not even a little bit.  So the cough continues...and she has an appt with an ENT next Monday and I also scheduled an appt with an Allergist, just in case...I'm praying we don't need to see him because they will be doing a huge test on both of her arms...pricking/injecting her arms with different allergies to see if any get irritated...she will have to put on a prescribed numbing cream 45 mins prior to her appt that day...it's just something I'd rather NOT put my 7 yr old thru...hoping the ENT can figure it out first.

Then there is Haylee, who on Feb 14th started her orthodonist treatment...with what's called an expander (see pic below).  It's an appliance that sits at the roof of her mouth and we turn a key every day for 21 days to 'expand' her jaw/teeth.  So, 12 days into it, the darn thing is ready to fall OUT...really?!  So now she has to go back for an adjustment this Thursday...which means 4th time late for school!

And lastly...there is a slew of tests we need to do for Ashlee...they believe she has a form of A.D.D.  This could explain why she has been doing so poorly with reading and writing.  I had a hunch last year she could have this, but I just never followed up with it...then seeing how she is struggling this year and getting alot of reports from her teacher that she is not focused or attentive in class was a big signal...so, now the ball is rolling...seeing her peds doc first...and go from there...stay tuned!
