Preschool Orientation

Yesterday we went to the neighborhood elementary school, Tommy Smith Elementary, for preschool orientation. Florida has an amazing pre-K program. The students have to turn 4 before Sept. 1st to qualify so Alan's birthday is just in the nick of time. Their Pre-K program is Monday through Friday (EVERYDAY) and from 7:45am-11am it's FREE then you have the option to pay to keep them at school until they dismiss all the students for the day at 2pm. We are going to pay to keep him there all day for a couple reasons: he needs to be pulled for speech thearapy, the extra time with kids his age will also help speech, and I don't think I can keep up will ALL 3 boys until Daniel gets home from work!!! Here is a picture of his teachers, Mrs. Powell and Mrs. Young. They have 18 students in the Pre-K class. Alan and Eddie had a great time playing while I was filling out the paperwork. The biggest problem I foresee is that we have to walk Alan to the classroom EVERYDAY and it's going to be hard to get Eddie to leave with me!! Keep your fingers crossed as we start this new adventure for Alan on Monday :)

Old Maid in My Ear

Last week Alan said he put a popcorn seed in his ear at school. We took him to the pediatrician at the base and they tried to get it out with irrigation. While we were waiting for the referral my friend, Missy (a nurse), took him to her husband's office and tried to irrigate it out again. No luck so we had to wait for a referral to be approved to take him to a pediatric ENT. The closest one is in Pensacola and couldn't get him in until March 17th!! Again I called my friend Missy and asked for her recommendation on ENT doctors in town. She gave me her guy's name and I got on the phone with Tricare. It took lots of call transfers and time, but they could change the referral to Dr. Tran and he could get us in yesterday. Dr. Tran was unable to remove the popcorn seed in his office, but they could get Alan in for surgery first thing this morning to remove the seed. Here is where I learned that anything requiring anesthesia is called surgery. They were going to put Alan out so he...

Daniel's Surgery

It's 1:30am and been a very long day. Daniel's surgery was pushed back quite a bit today and we are just getting home from the hospital. The doctor gave us some neat pictures and I hope to get them along with all the details added to this post in the very near future. Thanks for all your prayers and please continue to pray for a speedy recovery. WARNING WARNING WARNING the following pictures are not for those of you with weak stomachs!!! Here is his Gall Bladder (everything here is normal) This next picture was explained with some big words. My teaching background kicked in so I rephrased what the doctor was telling me in words I could understand and he said I was understanding correctly. This is Daniel's colon an it should be able to move freely, but there is a spider web kind of forming around it trapping it. The doctor was able to cut it free. Here is Daniel's small intestine. It was getting caught up in the web as well, but the doctor was successful in freein...
