It completely figures that right when the weekend starts I get my period......just shoot me ! Friday the kids were off school, the morning was pretty easy going, other than Nico waking up with a fever and super miserable :(
Dropped off the boys at OT, flew over to Sarasota to pick up Max' birthday present, a rock board scooter, pretty cool ! Came back with the boys only to have to turn around and go to Dr's appointment for Nico. He was put on Omnicef, tonsillitis and sinus infection, hopefully it will clear up SOON. Whenever he gets sick he immediately does not tolerate his J tube feeds, cries, screams, hunched over, holding tummy. We are venting his G tube continuously and have to empty the bag every hour, it will be like a balloon............Yesterday he was vomiting bile again, ugh, poor thing.
So the nights have been pretty sleepless, even on a super slow rate, with half strength formula, he wakes up constantly crying :(

Another child FREE !
Yesterday was a long day. I was subpoenaed for a TPR trial for a little girl that has OT/PT at the same time as Nico. This child has been with the same family for 3 years, ALL her life ! Bio mom has a long, long history of drug abuse. She did finally get clean, had 2 more babies, which made for a total of 7 ! Did I mention, she is only 24 ! and ofcourse has had a rotten childhood herself...............
She has her last 2 babies, one just turned a year old, the other one born not even a month ago.............life is hard for her..........no support or very little, no money. She does NOT trust anybody, so at mediation, even after her attorney told her she would not win this trial, even after the family offered visits and ongoing contact........she said no :(
Yesterday was the trial, she showed up late, testimony was heard from different professionals involved with this little girl, who is pretty involved medically.
After lunch break, all of a sudden, mom said she was ready to sign surrenders, IF the original offer still stood.............family said yes immediately. They know that this will be so much better in the long run. These 3 girls will be able to see eachother and this bio mom will have a chance to maintain contact.
Very emotional, happy tears.....this long road is finally over, no more sleepless nights,but right there as well sadness......because no matter what, it is sad when young women are so lost, because of their own upbringing, drugs, etc, and they keep having babies, one after the other going into the system, prenatally exposed, with all the issues that come with it.
Prayers of thanks, that L will now be in her forever family and prayers that her birth mom will continue to be drug free, keep her focus on the 2 little baby girls she has now and that God heals her heart and spirit....

starting it up again
I really need to start back up with the blogging again..............it is a great way of keeoing family and friends up on what has been going on, and one day the kids will be able to read it, hopefully they'll like it !
I know that one of the reasons I stopped was having to be so careful with Nico not adopted yet............well that will change in just a few weeks or maybe even days !
Planning to do some posting on old stuff that has happened...........mainly Oscar being in Europe all summer ! and after being home for a little over a week he moved to Orlando : (
All the kids are in their new classes, that will be a whole other blog, decisions were made, IEP's attended........
Now all I need to do is figure out how to post pics straight from my phone, wish me luck LOL
