We're back from an appointment at Landstuhl. Tim was having allergy testing. Turns out he's allergic to cats and horses, quite a few trees, most grasses and Brazil nuts. He's not allergic to any other nuts, including walnuts, or any weeds. He may start treatment in hopes to eliminate some of these. Also, next Wednesday he has an appointment for bee testing.
While the boys and I waited for Tim, I stopped by to confirm that I'm on the waiting list for a tummy tuck. I'm number 230! The nice lady behind the desk said, "Expect a call in a year, give or take a month or two." I'm so anxious to get rid of all this extra, stretched out skin from having my babies. I guess I can wait a year.

TiAhnna and Christian stayed home while we were gone. TiAhnna had a fever all night last night. She has a sore throat too, and by the time we got home her eye had started oozing and is blood-red. I hope it's not pink eye. If she's not better by Monday we'll be seeing the pediatrician.

She also has an appointment next Thursday to see a doctor for her sleep problem. She has a really bad time trying to get to sleep at night, often coming into my room as late as midnight, hours after I've tucked her in. We've tried warm milk, herbal tea, unwinding time reading or journaling before bed, sleeping medication- nothing helps. Her school work is suffering and she's at the point of desperation. I feel terrible for her, and plan to push for more testing to determine what the problem is. When a girl can't sleep when on prescription sleep medication, there's got to be a problem.

Poor Tia! I hope she feels better soon and you get this sleep thing figured out!

So, Tim is officially allergic to our cats huh? Maybe by the time you get here again they will have had an untimely departure..oh, that is horrible isn't it!!???
