Bo had an evaluation for speech therapy today.  They send us the report in the mail and then will call us after the insurance lets them know if and how much they will cover.  But she did say she is recommending that he goes 1 time a week for an hour and is referring us for occupational therapy as well for his sensory issues.   so we’ll need to get an evaluation for that soon too I suppose.   We know his hearing is fine and that he understands a lot, its his language and speech that are the problems.

I went to the dr this afternoon after having a horrible weekend.  Several times I considered going to the er because I was in so much pain.   I figured I’d wait til today and save money and go see the regular dr.  it too was a waste of money.  I wish we were in Baltimore with the doctors who know my history.  this dr doesnt want to treat any of it, she wants a rheumatologist to make the decisions.   I made an appt with one for a week from today, but it’s not the dr I want to see.  so when I got home the other drs office who I have been waiting to call to schedule an appt with finally called, get this…so my dr sent them a referral saying I need to be seen asap.   so the lady says she can get me an appt on Feb 28th.  I cant believe that’s the first asap appointment.  it’s so stupid.   I dont know if I should keep my appt for monday w/ the drs I dont really want to go to or wait it out for a few weeks to see the other one.   all I know is that i feel horrible and I dont know what I can do about it.  my dr today did give me another RX for pain, I’m already taking a ton.  this will be the 3rd time I’ve switched meds since being here.  I just want to feel better, soon.

Dean stayed home this morning to help w/ the speech evaluation appointment and I asked him to take the day off so I could go to the dr this afternoon.  After he gets caleb from school I’m hoping to get a nap.

Zeke is getting some teeth this week so he’s a little fussy.   Caleb has a runny nose and cough and is grouchy.   I am grouchy from feeling bad.  Dean is grouchy from putting up w/ all of us and having to do double duty w/ the kids and cleaning up since I’ve been trying to rest while he’s home this weekend and today.  so it’s fun around here lately!

it’s freezing outside too!  and it’s chilly in here too….well gonna go so I can find a blanket to cuddle up w/.
