EM's NEW DESK

 
I stopped at the Goodwill the other day and picked up this desk and chair for EM!! He was so excited. It fits under his loft bed well and gives him a space of his own to get away from the girls!! The next evening he was in there  looking at books and practicing his homework. Gotta love when a plan comes together!

~HOME IN RECORD TIME~~

I am happy to report that all went smoothly with JM's tubes this am. The surgery was delayed about an hour. Didn't get all the details on that...but as it turned out it worked to our advantage. When we got to the room this am, the anasthesiologist that had JM during all his trouble the last time....stopped in to say "Hi" and that she was filling in the MD that would have Joshua's case as she was not assigned to him. Well, since things were delayed it worked out that she was able to take his case. She said quote,"must have been devine intervention!" Her words not mine. She said if that is the case who is she to argue!! Man I love her!! We talked over the "game plan" and all worked out well. Started surgery at 10:15...done by 10:30 in recovery minutes later home before noon!! Gotta love when things work out.
 
Thanks for all the prayers that helped with that "divine intervention" for my special boy!

~Please remember us in the morning~

JM will have tubes put back in his ears in the am. The OR time is 9:15am. So we will be up and to the hospital by 7:45. Thankfully it is only 3 miles from here.
As most of you remember anasthesia for JM is not a good thing...so hopefully it will go better in the am.
    
When the ENT checked his ears at the beginning of the month he had wax in one of the ears...so in trying to get out the wax the tube came out too. OOPS!
 
Thanks for remembering us.
Hugs

~~Checking in~~

BUSY BUSY BUSY...I think that pretty well sums up our month of September so far. The kids are enjoying school. Somedays more than others, but so far so good. EM and SJ have 1/2 day Kindergarten so they are home by noon. I think that is about right for them. SJ is tired some days so she will lay down for a nap. She also started dance class last week. She is asking about every day when she has class again. Both of them wanted to go to school on the weekend...but I think they will be ready for the break  most weekends.
JM and I are getting used to a bit more alone time. Although we have had multiple appointments so far this month, so hard to get into any kind of routine. Went to the ENT and while he was getting the wax out of JM's ear the tube came out too...so he will have those replaced next Monday. Also trying to get a good hearing test to make sure his hearing is OK.
I know he hears somethings...but does he hear everything. THat is still to be determined.
MR is enjoying 3rd grade. No sure about the homework...but so far OK. She is really tired by bedtime each night.
 
The kids are all excited to start church school on Wednesday evening. They will be in separate classes which will be a first. I think it will be good for them.
I am just trying to keep everything straight at this point. Our 92 years old friend will have some heart tests done in the next two weeks. Just routine stuff, but more appointments.
Please keep us all in your prayers. I have had a couple migraines in the past month and that sure doesn't help! I'm sure it is the stress...but I do need to get my eyes checked. I think I need bifocals. I must be getting old! Those pages are not as clear as they used to be.
All for now.
