We're there on Thursdays at 4 and Fridays at 9 for Dima and we're hoping to work Emily in at one of the same times.Courtneyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13677010442934664757noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12126103.post-79450377041734460462009-06-04T19:26:26.824-05:002009-06-04T19:26:26.824-05:00Screaming Eagle.....

Her husband must be telling her stories of my vocal abilities!!!!<br /><br />Hey Courtney - thanks so much for the offer of the clothes but we are truly briming at the seams with 4Ts and I can not imagine finding room for anymore. Such blessings have come our way in hand-me-downs.<br /><br />Aley said she emailed you back about a "go" for Fri nights. I told her to email again and let you know that we are a-ok with her driving there - plus she has her own car now - so it needs to be put to good use!<br /><br />Forgot to tell you G-man starts therapy with Lynn at Childrens on Tues/Thurs 9-10. When are all of your appts? Any around this time?<br /><br />Don't forget to holler when the transition slows a bit and you are ready for visitors :-)<br /><br />Take care girl!The Flying Eaglehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02627847945496868656noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12126103.post-8259329623067146362009-06-02T09:45:46.988-05:002009-06-02T09:45:46.988-05:00Courtney,

We will be moving to the St. Louis area as soon as the house sells. Hubby is already down there working and living with M (Screaming Eagle)so we'll have to get all our Ukies together sometime. Shoot me an e-mail when you get a chance to breathe.<br />j karnes 2 @ wi.rr dot comWinniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15866358226386294026noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12126103.post-52478093969903341592009-06-01T11:54:28.654-05:002009-06-01T11:54:28.654-05:00Oh my!

I can't imagine doing it for an extended period!<br /><br />Regarding the ear tubes, Oksana has major sinus infections constantly. She gets lots of ear infections to go with the sinus infections and they all go revolve around still having a small hole in her palate and goo and stuff coming out of the nose. The ear tubes really helped relieve some of the pressure. <br /><br />The worst part of the surgeries was always the vomiting of lots of blood afterward. We later found out O has a clotting disorder which maybe something you want to ensure she is negative for prior to the surgeries.adoptedthreehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13403591807689393039noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12126103.post-45043145393170856092009-05-31T19:12:09.165-05:002009-05-31T19:12:09.165-05:00Good thing you had your appt so quick - giving you...Good thing you had your appt so quick - giving you more time to decide. In case it helps = I was completely amazed at how quickly Garretts mouth healed. It was certianly not fun but much more manageable than I had anticipated. And if he would have had to have the second surgery it would not have been so bad. The palate team is amazing and will definitely help you with your decision.

Sorry ...Ah...what fun... insert sarcasm here.... <br /><br />Sorry things didn't go as expected. I am so glad this doc has recent experience with option 4. We'll be praying for Emily's surgery the end of June. That they will be able to know which is the best option for her. <br /><br />Jenajenahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07144805211436727067noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12126103.post-7883004109788014232009-05-30T22:06:49.286-05:002009-05-30T22:06:49.286-05:00Missy (and all)-

We spent about 40 minutes with the plastic surgeon (who was making these comments regarding the surgery options). He took lots of pictures and spent quite a bit of time looking inside her mouth. When they put tubes in her ears, he wants to take a closer look with his team while she is under anesthesia, without doing any surgery, and then discuss further/more options with us. I hope this answers some of your questions.<br /><br />Mark (Courtney's other half)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12126103.post-8492592597862946842009-05-30T18:24:09.680-05:002009-05-30T18:24:09.680-05:00Oh, boy!!

(Still...!) Shouldn't the surgeon at least LOOK at her palate before making all of these decisions? I mean, all he did was have YOU look at it, right? <br /><br />Maybe a second opinion??Missyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04267667592744200477noreply@blogger.com
