Lung doctor and soccer games

Baby J had his follow-up pulmonolgist appointment last Thursday and he is finally off of everything nebulizer!!! Yippee!!! We did get yelled at for using the blow-by treatments instead of the mask because the pulmonologist said it should be illegal for respiratory therapist to suggest blow-by treatments becuase the kids get less than 10% of the medicine when it is disbursed this way. But I feel like if the kid won't let us put the mask on his face 10% is better than no percent!!! Baby J is now on MDI treatments. Which is basically an inhaler with a face mask attached - so instead of a 20 minute nebulizer treatment 5 times a day he is getting 2 - 20 second sprays through the inhaler. I guess he was too little at 6 months to try this on him so now that he is older we can use the MDI. Baby J is finally looking and feeling really good which is huge.

N4 and X6 had their first soccer game on Saturday. N4 has really improved his attitude during soccer because we told him if he acted up he was off the team. I guess that really worked because up until the day of the game he thought he was kicked off the team. Of course our club does not keep score at this leve, but you better believe the kids were keeping score in their heads and 3 out of the 4 quarters we got creamed. We have to coach to games simultaneously so DH is on one field and I am on another and in the 3rd quarter I created my dream team with our players and we won that quarter 4 to 0. I was happy to see that it is not the coaches, but the players that make the game. My DH is forming a game plan for our next practice so our kids will at least know which way to go during the game.

N4 and X6 permanency hearing is next month and it totally snuck up on us because I guess we did not put it in the calander so the CASA worker said that this is a really big deal because the judge is going to determine which direction this case should go. I was hoping the kids would be able to go back home by May, but this doesn't seem to be the case. Looks like the dad still has a lot of work to do before they can go home. I guess it's just more of the same wait and see.
