Manic Monday

I have a lot going on.

First, MM goes to the ENT on Friday. I am sure she will have to have those monstrosities known as tonsils removed. Poor thing is still not eating great, nose running constantly & lots of coughing. We are almost done with the antibiotics & I am sure by next week she will have the reoccurring infection. (Not feeling very optimistic this morn)

Tomorrow is the rescheduled IEP. Need I say more? Those yahoos still did not even give me the evals or reports! Thanks for all the advice you guys have provided. I am reading it & taking it all in, evening adding it to my notes for the meeting. I am going to give them the benefit of the doubt, as I try to do, but am sure I will be upset as usual. (again with the pessimistic view)

They scheduled MY sinus surgery for Feb 11. If I do not have it done then, I will have to start all over & have a different doc do it. The wonderful doc I found is relocating back to where she came from. Sux for me! It really has taken me a long time to build back up the courage to go & make the decision to have this done. The last time I had the surgery, in 2000, I got septic & almost died. YEAH- good times there. I need this done though. It will hopefully help my blood pressure, headaches & just generally improve my life so I don't have to deal with chronic sinusitis all the time.

I have to get MM's other appointments scheduled or rescheduled (eye dr, developmental specialist, 6 yr check up, etc.).

BIG news here too. My baby has a very wiggly bottom tooth. I will try to upload the video of it. I am sad & glad for she growing up.

We (DH & I) are going through an autism sux phase right now too. We both are in a bit of a funk cause these illnesses have really set her back. Lots of regression going on, has gone on. It is not just he autism stuff either. Her legs are so stiff & she lost some of her good gross motor gains. He, who is usually so positive, is just as anxiety ridden as I. This is so darn hard.

Did I mention I had my annual girlie check up last week? That will have to be for another post. I just can't think about it right now.

I know so many of you here in blogger land are going through just as much & many much worse than we. Where can we get in the "Give Us an Effing Break Line"?

(tried to cheer up by adding the valentine stuff to the blog. I LOVE valentine's day. it is such a cute, made up holiday. even dressed the girlie in valentine's attire this morn. I know it is early, but how can LOVE not make you smile?)
