January 2009

Well I haven't done a post in forever so here goes. I guess I will make all updates to the past month or so. January sucked. I say that only because it did. I have a new more positive outlook on February, So no worries about me going and checking myself into the state mental hospital! Just like always the only thing we have had to deal with that I can actually write about on my blog is the very stupid billing department at Primary's who happens to be suing us for the remaining 20% left over after insurance... Sure your first comment is hey make a payment plan... HA! Well well we tried to make a payment plan till they told us that the minimum payment was based off a percentage of your bill....hmmmmm so our minimum monthly payment is 3700.00 a month... (that tends to be an issue when you owe 41,000.00) Sorry we don't make enough money to pay that every month, sigh... I don't understand. making that huge monthly payment was the only way to not be sued. Thus we are being Garnished none the same! It makes me absolutely CRAZY knowing these big rich doctors are suing poor us for the last measly dollars left over after the insurance, to the point were they could take the roof over our head! You can tell I am not in the best of moods which unlucky for all readers, this so happens to be a day were I am in a better mood. Hence not blogging for a month! :) Haven't we struggled enough with this! COME ON!!! So don't get me wrong I love all the excellent doctors and nurses that have helped Tie but at the same time from loosing our application to the garnishment has been a nightmare!

On to the next update for January, Just so happens to be another let down, but not nearly as big of one! We did all of Tielers RE-Testing for her original allergens tested at age one, And to our surprise it seemed to look like her peanut and rye allergy had disappeared! WE were stoked it opened a huge door for us to think we could fatten Tie up with almond milk (way more fat than rice and soy) and that she could eat things like PB and J etc. But Dr. Bitner said he wanted to be sure and sent us over to Primarys for Labs. A few days later Dr. Bitner called back with his not so good news... Not only was the test wrong it had actually increased as well as adding a few new nuts to the list of allergies for Tieler like, Almonds, Pistachios, Pecans, hazelnuts, Macadamia... the only negative nut she had was a walnut, and walnuts are gross... So The only update we have for miss Sensitive is she is still and more sensitive than before...
Her new list...

EGG- Ties version of rat poison...
Milk- ties version of ipecac syrup
Rye
Peanut
Almond
Cashew
Pistachio
Macadamia
Pecan
Hazelnut

We hope not to add to it any time soon but she is always full of surprises!
Also Tieler is going in for her hearing test this week because she has had some problems with her ears we might just be tubing them like Jaxens but it could be the reason for her speech delay so who knows it might help her to talk more!
Jaxen has been doing much better he had a severe case of croup that his little lungs battled for about 2+ weeks but he is finally not using the nebulizer every four hours or even every day right now. He is so good at doing it and quick to let us know what he needs. To think a 3 year old can tell me when he is having a hard time breathing and does the mask so well.( initially he was not so helpful...) He has been so sweet lately he is very smart and wants to help me do everything I tell him he is just like my shadow, and he tells me I am silly that he is jaxi not a shadow.... LOL He has also been taking his sister cruzing in her barbie power wheels that Santa brought doesn't matter what is on front of them he just thinks he can drive over it so he has sadly broken a few other toys he thought daddy could fix! But he puts tie in front and steers from behind her its so funny and she loves it, she isn't as good at holding down the gas like Jaxen. I love their ages I don't want them to get any bigger!
As depressing and negative as this post may seem we have allot of fun things happening this month and are looking on the bright side, hoping that if we stay positive and work hard things will get better. One Day at a time!


One day at a time--this is enough. Do not look back and grieve over the past for it is gone; and do not be troubled about the future, for it has not yet come. Live in the present, and make it so beautiful it will be worth remembering.”
