We finally got to go to the ENT and the audiologist very exciting stuff right there we first seen the audiologist who first did some test to show if his ears were draining properly his left ear was fine but his right ear had no movement and that would be the problem it is not draining at all then she did the sound test he did pretty good but he was tired and cranky so he started crying and couldn't hear the sounds over his own cry but the tests came back good and he will have a recheck in a month
Then we seen the ENT and looked in his ears and showed us the tubes he would be inserting into his ears I also talked to him about James being tongue tied he took a look and decided it would benefit for him to clip the skin under his tongue while he has him there getting the tubes done only took me 2 years but I am finally getting my way there is no need for my son to have a speech problem if he doe not have to
All in all today went great me and him are exhausted but a lot of important things got done I am very excited about him getting these tubes and hopefully not get sick so much and his tongue getting clipped now hopefully after both of these issues are fixed he will start talking since his ears can delay speech and him being tongue tied and affect how he speaks he will get all of this done on Friday everyone is surprised how fast they got us in I am kind of shocked myself so hopefully this ear infection that we got checked out this weekend will be the last one fingers crossed

workforce is driving me crazy
so I finally get a job great right yea well workforce wants to do everything in their power to keep from being able to transition so I go to turn in my employment verification 2 weeks ago she said wait till you start working to turn it in mind you I had to fill out a form to opted out of the program due to my son constantly being sick so I should have been ok either way
well I faxed over that form twice signed and filled out by me and my pediatrician not good enough because there was not a time frame well how is my pediatrician going to fill out a time frame when they are not the ones doing the procedure well I told her by the time I seen the ENT dcf would have already gotten a hit that I started working well apparently not I tried to send it in last week since I started training and it was not good enough even though everything was filled out
I went to my job this morning had them refill it out and add some notes to it so there was no way there could be any errors I was wrong again my caseworker has to talk to her supervisor if it will be accepted because I will not be making minimum wage I am a driver so I get a lower pay because I receive tips
According to workforce they tally your hours you complete for them when you get a job by your paycheck stub and divide it by minimum wage and that's how they get yours hours and if you don't meet your requirement you still have to go to a work site to meet them I am supposed to complete 16 hours a week so even if I work 16 hours a week because I don't make minimum wage my paycheck stub divided by minimum wage would not meet my hours I don't even understand how they can even do that why do they not have multiple ways to calculate hours due to people working jobs where they rely on their tips waitresses mainly so what I am getting from this is if I were a waitress and worked 40 hours a week reported to my caseworker with my paycheck stub and totaled out my hours based on minimum wage I would not meet the requirement and there for have to find time to do hours at a work site absolutely crazy does not make sense and I am just done with workforce altogether no matter what anyone does it is not good enough even the paperwork they have you fill and you do with everything they ask is still not good enough I do believe I will asking to be removed from the program so after this month I can just be done since I have a job I am losing the benefits I was doing it for anyway so what will it matter just fed up completely fed up

memorial day weekend
memorial day weekend started out well but like every other holiday weekend james ended up sick again poor thing I had to take him to urgent care on sunday because of a high fever of course he had another ear infection so they started the injections again
went back Monday afternoon for the second injection and by 11 oclock that night I had to rush him to the er because he was vomiting every where mind you I told the doctor that he was weezing and his cough was getting worse but they thought nothing of it so because the cough had gotten so bad it caused him to vomit everywhere for hours so they prescribed him some cough medicine to help which it did he finally got some sleep after 2 days
then we had to go back Tuesday for the final injection I inform the doctor what had happened the night before and he looked stunned he couldn't understand why he was getting worse so he ordered a chest xray and come to find out he has bronchitis they did a breathing treatment and gave him the final injection and prescribed an inhaler for ever 6 hours
finally after all of this they finally came to the conclusion he needs tubes in his ears and gave me a referral to see the ENT so Monday we meet with the audiologist and the ENT and see what is going on and set up the apt for him to get his tubes
I am glad that my baby boy will be getting better soon I just feel they could have decided this alittle sooner so my son didn't have to suffer so much and I also feel that I am his mother I know when something is off and they should not brush my concerns off like they are nothing if they would have listened to me my son probably would have not had to go to the hospital and we could have caught his bronchitis a little sooner I would say change pediaitricians but I have noticed with have been to a few that they are all the same except for one but he is in Indiana and that does not help me much here
