Team Decision Meeting

It's the first step when a kid comes into care. We had that yesterday and Baby J will be staying with us a little longer. Maybe a month only depending on how fast BM can get housing that is safe. I sure hope she gets it soon. I miss sleep.

I have an interview for a teaching position on Thursday. I am thinking it won't come to fruition because new baby = no time for work. Heck the other three equal no time for work. But I think I would love the opportunity just the same.

D has had an ear infection going on three weeks now. We have started another new antibiotic. I'm hoping this one works as the next option is injectable or infusion. I refuse to allow them to give the injectable version and thus he'd end up admitted for Iv course instead. He already had tubes... Do we have check with the ENT to see about the next steps to preventing it.

S is growing and developing so fast. She doesn't speak yet, she actually screams in her monotone scream for her wants and needs. We are working on trying to get her some sort of vocabulary. Chronologically she's about to turn 18 months but actually she's 14 months. Which means she should be talking at least a little. She's crawling and sitting. She's thought about pulling to stand but she's afraid to fall. She walks while holding your fingers and in the walker. She does not cruise furniture yet, mostly for the same reason she doesn't pull to stand, she's afraid to fall. She had lots of fears. She is still not eating food. But she is tasting and swallowing bites I actually catch her off guard with.

Spud is a mystery still. Now they are worried about vision loss but that appointment isn't till January. We are still in Neuro testing mode. So far he's failed many tests. No definitive diagnosis yet, but spastic cerebral palsy is in the lead. He got his helmet for fixing the flat part of his head and we decorated it with some r2d2 stickers. His BM has admitted in court to het desire to relinquish rights to him because his needs are just too great for her.

We are still awaiting our adoption certification from the courts so that we can get an adoption date for at minimum D and S.
