Sick baby... and updates

I do not like this part. D has a major cold and the biggest thing with him because of the cleft pallet is that post nasal drip/runny stuffy nose goes right down his throat and he coughs alot. I have so much fear of him aspirating and getting pneumonia. :-( Right now he is already on an antibiotic because they see fluid in his ears, so at least we have that, but there isn't much more than you can do for a 5 month old baby. He's napping right now and we have him on Miss E's pulse ox and he's actually not desating when he is coughing so at least there is that. Poor baby.

I talked to his mother and she said the nephew that was thinking of coming here and adopting him is not answering her phone calls or the calls from CPS at this moment, at least that's what she says, I'll check with CPS and see what they say when she comes next week. I mean the Aunt keeps saying that he is just like her youngest son, so it'd be enough to scare off a couple who literally have no idea what they'd be getting into, and whom don't currently have a bond to and he is not bonded to them.... I am against this if you haven't gotten the idea yet. Of course I want to keep him. I love the little guy, and if he doesn't go back to his parents, (which I'd be better with), then he should stay here.

It'll be 6 months next month that we'll have had Miss E and we can move forward with her adoption petition. I have a ton of paperwork to complete still on that one.

In N's case they apparently weren't all to considered with how much we neglect her, because she is still here, despite us actually asking that she be moved. She's also gained nearly 10 pounds, except that yesterday hubby spent the whole day with her and crazy family members at the ER because she had some issues with one of her chronic conditions and the PCP office that they insist we take her to, has NO CLUE how to take care of special needs kids. Thus the reason she is in Foster Care in the first place. Honestly she actually belongs with her father and family and they just need some services and education.


we did receive a call again asking if we were open because they want to place a 7 year old girl with us. I told them if they weren't actively looking then in a few weeks we should have an opening as we keep calling to have her moved, then we would. This little girl is available for adoption, was supposed to be adopted by the family, but they are having a baby or something and don't want to adopt.... I have no idea if anything will come of it, but it's an option. I did not however agree to adopt either.

Invaded and Interrogated

As in we have been invaded daily now by government agencies asking a million and one questions and thus we have to defend ourselves over this stupid assholes bogus shit. Of course I expected him to be a douche which is why I didn't want any home visits in the first place, but yeah the shit he said is not only trivial, but the agencies should have seen through it. After all there are people in and out of here daily who they could have asked, but no the case worker who yet again didn't want to do HER job launches an investigation based on what a disgruntled parent who has been stalking everyone since she was put into care says.

Urgh I am just so frustrated, but of course foster parents are horrible people... I mean sheesh taking on the care and a zillion and one doctors appointments and running around like crazy, being up at all hours of the night, yeah...monsters I tell you!

Neglect Investigation...

As in we are the subject of... a report was called in stating a bunch of shit... related to.... Miss N

1.) She is skinny... it's our fault. We are starving her because we put milk through her g-tube and didn't let her eat solid foods during the two weeks that she was still vomiting blood- she gained 3 pounds since she'd been with us. She Gained 3 pounds the month that she was in the hospital, we are following the hospital discharge instructions, humm... I see a pattern.

2.)We are not wearing gloves to hook up her g-tube and they didn't see us wash our hands, First you don't have to wear gloves in a home setting. 1 gloves are not supplied, and 2 you only have to wash your hands, which we do outside of her room, cuz that is where we keep the meds. Plus they did not see the sanitizer in the room next to the gloves and the wipes?

3.)The cat is sleeping in the bed with her, um no he isn't, until a week ago he slept in Jae our Foreign exchange students room and now he is back to the laundry room at night, and no the cat does not like her so he doesn't go in there unless people he wants to see are in there, he's kinda nosey that way.

4.)Our house is filthy- hum well it's lived in, it's not spotless, and yeah there tends to be dog hair on like everything, and we need to dust more often, but the kids rooms ARE actually spotless, and the animals are not allowed there. And over all the house is "company cleaned" especially the entry way... which is as far as that person had actually stepped foot.

5.) Her tube clogged so we must be giving her spoiled milk- actually it's thick and nasty milk that when you prime the tube it sticks to the side, and well it makes flushing hard. Yup the milk stinks, but it's fresh.

6.) She needs a higher level of care than we are capable of providing because she does not have a nurse all night. Hummm... actually yes she does, it's me.

7.) She may aspirate her milk at night, she needs a nurse. - Well they did not learn those words from anyone but me- which is why she has a hospital bed at 45 degree because she is an aspiration risk, because I think it, brought it up and requested a speech evaluation.

8.) She MUST be allergic to the animals because she has a cough and a runny nose. Well she's had the cough since the hospital- see #7... she has the runny nose because she actually had a cold for the past two weeks, which is gone. No allergy symptoms are present, no sneezing even. Which is not to say she could not have an allergy to animals, just that they are not around her to it even to be an issue.

9.) They just don't like the fact that we are WHITE plain and simple and do not speak spanish and do not let them come here... ie- this is EXACTLY why we don't let them come- cuz they straight out lie, and twist and turn things around.


Lesson learned... we have actually requested that she leave, previous to this anyway, but CPS was here today and said,
" Well from what I see, these allegations are unfounded. Keep up the good work."
