No, No, No ... Not ANOTHER Set of Tubes!

Yes. Unfortunately that is exactly what is going to happen on Jan. 15. Ray has to have his second set of tubes in his ears since June. And I JUST paid off the first set a few minutes after the doctor let the hammer down on my poor little head. Yes, I actually cried by the time I could get hubby on the phone. I'm better now.

Apparently the lft tube has slipped backward into the ear canal and there is a good deal of fluid built up. the right one is trying to push out. Who knows? That one may be gone by the time the surgery is supposed to happen.

This go around he is putting in longer tubes that are harder and supposed to stay in longer, we hope. He is also going to take our Ray's adenoids. He said they can sometimes keep things from draining properly and contribute to the infections. He asked if Ray was congested a lot and I said "yes." The child is congested all the time. I really don't know of a day when he's been totally clear.

At least, this time, I've added Ray to our supplemental insurance and, hopefully, it will cover what the regular insurance doesn't. I can just see the "pre-existing condition" looming on the horizon though.


MEANWHILE

We completed the fourth, and final, home study for Jessie last Thursday. Now we just wait on Karen to get the all important report written out and shipped over to COTW. I honestly can't remember if they can send the dossier to China at that point or if they have to wait on the 171H before it can go. I hope they don't have to wait on the 171H. Not really wanting it to take so long as to need to redo physicals and other such things.

We've got to send an updated letter of application for China because we decided to change our guardians. When we asked the new couple I thought Angie was going to fly over the table exclaiming "I'll take your babies!" She didn't even let hubby finish the question. I love her!

Well, gotta run. More later.
