Needs a title
Abbie had her tubes done Thursday of last week. She did okay with the surgery, the doctor said that he found an abscess behind her ear drum. She did not do well with the Versed. Apparently, she nor I can handle this medicine. She was incoherent but screaming for the first 45 minutes after surgery. Once she finally calmed down, she slept for 3 hours. She seems to be doing okay now except for this cough that she has picked up.
Maggie's conference at school last week was between myself, her teacher and the principal. Maggie has not been eating at school (lunch or breakfast) and has been throwing temper tantrums. The teacher suggested that she could be autistic or Asperburger's although I explained to her that she had been tested and she was not either of those. Maggie finishes her work much faster than her classmates and from what I can gather, is getting bored at school. I have talked to several friends of mine who have suggested that we have her IQ tested for a gifted program or something akin to the sort. We have been referred to 2 psychologists in Jackson and I am waiting on a return phone call.
Got my car insurance taken care of this morning. Josh had not paid it (it was in his name) and the coverage had lapsed. It is now in my name and everything worked itself out. Also, I spoke with the credit card company yesterday who is willing to work out a 5 year payment plan. Waiting on confirmation that my student loans have been deferred. Received our SNAP benefits lats week and have put them to good use already.
Josh had the girls this weekend and they didn't seem to come back any worse for wear except a few scratches here and there. No big happenings this week that I am aware of...Jackson State game on Saturday at MVSU, Grambling on Monday.

Tubes
Abbie had an appointment in Jackson on Monday with our ENT. He scheduled her tubes for Thursday. I have to call today and get our time to be there Thursday morning. His nurse said they go in order of age, so I am expecting between 7-8 a.m. which means a really early morning for us.
Academic Conference today with Maggie's teacher and the principal at school. Just hope everything is okay and she can stay where she is. She really seems to enjoy it and is learning a lot.
Went to Bible study Tuesday morning - Beth Moore's revised study of David. Hoping it will be a great time of fellowship and friends.
Can't think of anything else major right now, but will update hopefully Friday about the ears and parent-teacher stuff.

ENT Appointment and Snow
We went to the pediatrician on Wednesday for a followup about Abbie's ears. The left one is still infected, the right is much better. Doc scheduled our appointment with the ENT in Jackson on Monday. It's the same one that did Maggie's ears a couple years ago. We are on another antibiotic for now, hoping that will help. 3/4 of a tsp three times a day.
No school or daycare on Thursday under 3.5 inches of snow. It did melt somewhat, so now we have ice everywhere. But we had school and daycare today.
Got a call from the school on Tuesday that Maggie would not leave the cafeteria or eat her breakfast. Come to find out, the TV is on in the cafeteria during breakfast. So now we eat breakfast at home. Also got a call from the principal to schedule an academic conference. As of today, we have scheduled it three times and it is tentative for Wednesday of next week. Not sure what this is about, as Maggie is usually really good about doing her schoolwork.
Headed to Macon in the morning to see a couple patients then to MVSU for basketball games. Hoping that the roads between here and there are not too bad.

Monday, Monday...
Abbie started coughing again and her nose is running. We have a followup from her ears on Wednesday, so maybe she can hold off until then.
Got to the office this morning, actually by 8, only to call Medicaid and find out that we lost 6 months worth of claims. Then we called the local office and the Provider Relations Specialist said he would try to take care of it. Worse case scenario, we have to file 6 month's of claims on paper for 2 doctors. Let's hope that is not the case.
Nothing a little physical labor won't cure. 9 boxes of old files later, my mind feels better about the situation, my back - well - not so much.
Josh has a doctor's appointment today. He's lost almost 70 pounds since December 1. Hope it's nothing serious.
Plans for teaching Tuesday and Wednesday, Macon on Thursday, Macon on Saturday, Church Sunday. May have to take the kids to Josh on Friday, still waiting on word about that. Maggie has next Monday off and it would work out better (he would have Friday through Monday) if we could swap weekends.
We'll have to see...

Brrr...
Okay, so we don't have ice or snow yet, but it's so cold. I brought the dog in last night and of course, we had poop in the kitchen this morning. Not just a pile of poop, liquid poop all over the kitchen. This poor dog has had diarrhea for the better part of a year. Not sure that it's a digestive issue, because she has been on the same Pedigree dog food for 4 years. Anyway, I just keep Lysol, paper towels and clorox wipes to clean up every morning after cold nights.
Maggie and Abbie are doing better, no one has had any fever, but Maggie keeps a runny nose.
Lydia Allison Jacobs has an expected date of arrival sometime around June 5, 2011. Glad we got another girl, so we don't have to buy anything new except her own bed clothes. Hand-me-downs are great!

Daycare is contagious
Abbie has been in daycare since we have been back in Greenwood. If I counted it, she has probably spent more time out of daycare than she has in. She spent 3 days in the hospital in Greenwood with the stomach virus in December. Turns out she also had a ear infection appear in day 2 of the hospital stay. We had 2 days of Rocephin for that. They also sent us home with antibiotics. One her followup two weeks later, she still had the ear infections so we had another shot of Rocephin and 10 days of Augmentin. I took her by the pediatrician's office today because she has had a fever all week. Guess what? Another shot of Rocephin and 10 days of Augmentin. Monday we go back to check them. If the ears are no better, we got Rocephin shots on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday. All this has to happen before we can see an EENT according to our insurance.
Needless to say, I am beyond furious at this point. It is completely insane to think that some suit in a office somewhere is telling our pediatrician how to treat my children!!
