“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”

“I forgot who I told what and when, so forgive me if you heard it before. 🙂

Yesterday when I got back to work in the afternoon, I was told that one of the students in Sarah’s class, at lunch time, had thrown a rock (out of anger, but not aiming for Sarah) and it hit her in the head. I was told that the student was suspended for one day, today.

It was bad enough that no one called me to tell me anything, even though Sarah’s friend asked the Principal to call me, the Principal said to just wait and see how she is doing after awhile. GRRR! I was then told that right after it happened, 3 of the kids went to tell their teacher and their teacher said, “Well, I didn’t see it happen” and was planning on doing NOTHING until Sarah proved by showing that she has been hit with the rock and that she was in fact hurt and crying because of the incident! THANK GOD the skin was not broken, but there was definite signs that she had been hit by a rock.

She seemed quiet when I was there yesterday, and last night, she was complaining of a headache, so I have her an ice pak for it and she fell asleep. She got up ok today, then as I was saying goodbye to her, she started complaining that her head was hurting again, so I asked the Principal if she had any children’s motrin. Of course, there wasn’t any, so I told Sarah I would be in touch with her in awhile. My concern was that she jerked her head back from the hit, she pulled a muscle in her neck.

I came home and called her doctor and got her in to be seen. The doc said just keep putting cold paks on a couple of times a day and something for pain and rest. She said that Sarah can rest and relax today and she can go back to school tomorrow. She did say that it could take awhile for the pain to totally go away and that the boy that threw the rock owes her a written apology, and some anger management. She also said that it is normal to have neck pain with an injury like this, but Sarah seems to be moving her head well.

Sarah will be at my neighbors house when I leave to go back to work today. She doesn’t want to go back today. 😦 (My neighbor has already asked her if the rock broke, LOL I had to laugh at that one! Sarah even chuckled! LOL)

I had a meeting with Thomas’s teacher on Monday. She said that she has no plans to hold him back, which makes us happy. She did say though that if he does get held back, it will be in 1st grade. She said she is going to mandatory him to go to summer school, and we think that’s a great idea.

Last night at a reading meeting, we met (indirectly) 3 1st grade teachers. We are not sure how the principal chooses which students she puts with what teachers, but I think I will be talking to the Principal to see who will be the best for him. Keith and I both have different teachers in mind, so if it happens to be either one, that’s fine:-) Thankfully he will still be going to speech therapy come fall. On April 2nd, he is getting an award during their assembly, for MOST IMPROVEMENT! THIS is a secret! 🙂 I got the letter yesterday from the principal, but his teacher told me the other day. We are so excited and proud!

Thomas has an appointment with the GI doctor on Monday the 31st. Since taking him off Milk, he has been doing MUCH better. Then he has 2 appointments on April 11th, one with the audiologist and right after with his ENT doctor to see if he is going to need tubes again, hopefully he won’t need them, but it is possible.

Well, I think this is about all that is new, or old 🙂

Hope all is well with everyone, and until next time, Take care!! P~”

SOS different day, or night.

The ex e-mailed Keith at 1928. Funny how that works. She e-mailed him at his two email addresses.

She’s demanding and accusing him again of more insurance stuff that he already dealt with.

Of course she throws in there, “Due to privacy laws in place I am not and will not call to request a card for (daughter) you have to.” what BS. She has called and requested cards before. In fact, we were told at one point that she requested to have her daughters stuff mailed to her, and NOT to Keith, who is the Insured. She wanted to bypass Keith. So she CAN call to request things, they just won’t be delivered to HER like she wanted.

She also added, I have alerted all our medical, dental and vision as well as pharmacy that I will file a complaint against them for allowing other persons than (daughter’s) parents access to her information or allowing them to even call and inquire or give information. The only persons allowed to gain information according to the new privacy laws are (daughter’s) parent’s. Not step- parents.”

LMAO, I can call our insurance and inquire the status of something, and if I have questions regarding an EOB, I can call our insurance about that too.

The thing is, the ex causes issues with the insurance when she pays for things upfront and then waits to bill or bills incorrectly, and then claims get AFU, and I happen to find this stuff out and work claims until they are processed correctly. She HATES THAT. Oh well…I’m not changing the way I deal with claims.

“Hello…

I hope this finds you all good!

Ok, so, I took Thomas to the doctors this morning…in Whittier. What a travel! We BARELY got there on time, and then we were there for awhile and got home just in time to get him ready for school and leave again.

Anyway…His stool test results were back. No parasites thank goodness, but there is some blood, though not a lot. She was not sure exactly where it is coming from, so I will be calling the GI doctor tomorrow, since we haven’t heard from them yet from the referral she sent. She said that it may be that because he goes so much, he may have little tears.

She said definitely no more MOM/MO combo, which he stopped awhile ago, anyway, and she said no more milk or cheese until further notice. Cutting that you now for these last two weeks has seemed to help too, but poor guy hasn’t been happy camper about that.

SO, we need to searxh for some milk free products, soy milk, etc… and he has to eat a salad every single night, so I need to find some milk free Ranch dressing…YUM…

Other than that, he is healthy. He did lose 1 1/2 pounds though. 2 weeks ago, he was 50 1/2 pounds. today he was 49, so we are going to watch that too.

I will keep you updated on this when we take him to the GI doctor. Keep him in your prayers…Thanks! P~”

“The other day, Keith was at work, and Thomas and I were here. He was watching blues clues on tv and I was making him his lunch. I was putting some ketchup on his hot dogs and the ketchup container made a “farting” noise, because it is almost gone. Thomas heard the noise from the kitchen and said, “DAD???” LMBO!!! He said it sounded like Keith/Dad farting and he thought Keith/Dad stopped by!

I CRACKED UP! I had forgotten about it until just a few minutes ago, when Keith/Dad asked me if we had any ketchup to go with the meatloaf we are having! LMBO!!!!!

Too funny!!!!! Keith said this morning, “That’s my boy!” LOL! Oh man, I will be laughing over this all day now! PRICELESS!

P~”

“Good Morning!

Wednesday night, Thomas had real bad stomach cramps again, and the runs real bad. Thursday morning, Keith and I took Thomas to the doctors, and they are going to start testing him to see what is the problem. He has to stay off Milk and Cheese for 2 weeks (needless to say he is NOT happy about that!) and we have to take stool samples for 3 days. The Doctor we saw Thursday, (actually a Nurse Practitioner that he has seen before) is sending a referral to a gastroenterologist so he can been seen by them as well. Hopefully it all gets taken care of real soon. Keith said Johnny had very similar problems when he was a kid, and it was due to an under developed pancreas, so we shall see.

Thomas knew on Thursday that he was going to be “Star Student” in his class so he really wanted to go to school, but there was no way to send him. He kind of forgot about it as the day went on, especially when we got home from the doctors, but when I picked him up yesterday from school, he had his “Star Student” star pinned on him! He was REALLY happy! He said he was star student yesterday because he “was absent” on the day before.

Other than this, we are all good here. Hope the same for you!! Lots of love, P~”
