“Hello everyone,

Well, today was Thomas’s last appt for awhile. He has to go back to his ENT doctor in 3 months, and back to his *GI doctor* in 6 weeks.

*GI Doctor* said the diagnosis for Thomas is “e********s.” I have attached the link (I hope it works) for you to look at instead of me writing it. (its better this way! LOL)

He did write Thomas a prescription…we need to continue this “cocktail” for at least a year if not longer… We give it to him once a day. The doctor said we CAN go the radically route and put Thomas in the hospital…but he recommends this trying this way first. He said we can give him 1-2% milk.

*GI Doctor* said even though we may feel like it, we are not the only parents in the world who have a child with this problem, that he actually sees about 70 patients a year with it…that was comforting.

So…that is about all for now. Talk to you soon!

Hasta Luego!

P~”

“Hello Everyone!

I hope this finds you all well!

I took Thomas to his hearing test appointment this morning, and then to his ENT doctor.

There are no problems in his right ear and in his left ear, he has less than 10% hearing loss. The doctor said that he isn’t too worried about it right now, that he won’t put in tubes again at this point, but he wants to see him again in 3 months. He said it could go either way, get worse or correct itself within the next couple of months, and at that time, we will discuss options.

Thomas wasn’t too worried about the test or anything because he was too excited about his Party today! He is going on a field trip to the library in a couple weeks from now, so the party and his field trip are his two main focus points right now! lol

His next appointment is on April 15 with the GO, and I will let you know how that goes!

Take care!

P~”

Again, his son responded, “get over it!!! i dont care. DONT EMAIL ME.” This was at 11:02am. He sounds just like his mom. Keith responded at 6:26pm, “Love ya (son’s name), Have a great weekend. Love, Dad”

Stepson was not happy that Keith wished him well. He wrote Keith again today at 1:29pm. “what dont you understand!!!!!! I dont want to recieve emails from you. i DONT CARE ABOUT WHAT YOU HALF TO SAY. I DONT CARE!!!! i dont care about how you are treated or your problems there yours not MINE!!!

At 1:38pm, Keith responded, “then tell your mother not to include you in the emails she is sending me. I don’t have problems (son’s name), do you? “Half” to say? what is “half”? Love dad”

About an hour later, Keith wrote his son again, “Hey (son’s name), I love you. Dad”

Keith’s son emailed back at 12:49pm, writing, “YES, don’t email ever again. i am tired of you bull shit and half truths. i am tired of your lying and your unnecessary stress that you cause when you email. besides everytime you email its always about how i every time respond to your email. look whose calling the kettle black. if you want to start BRINGING up the past like you always do. then maybe YOU have the problems and maybe YOU need to see a therapist because whats in the past is in the past and theres no useing bringing it up if it already happened. if you had a problem then YOU should have voiced YOUR concerns when the problem occurred. looking forward to NOT hearing from you”

Keith responded 12:54pm, “no problem. Have a great life son…best of luck to you always. Love dad.”

Keith knew his ex wife accomplished what she set out to do….

Damn, the guy cannot catch a break.

Keith and his son had been emailing back and forth for a few day. Keith shared concerns with his son about his daughter and his son apparently took it the wrong way.

Part of his son’s email read, “well, the only reason I wrote back to you the first time was because u asked my OPINION on the situation, so if u want to keep bringing up past and then claim that you don’t know what i am talking about, when i respond to your questions, maybe you shouldn’t email me anymore. it would save everyone the UNESSARY stress that you are so concerned about”

Keith responded to his son, and the last paragraph (3/3) he wrote to his son, “Apparently you are unable to respond to my emails or concerns without copping an attitude. If you don’t want me to email you, let me know now, you apparently don’t have anything to say to me, unless it is a slam or bad mouthing and if my emails cause you unnecessary stress, let me know. Love, Dad”
