I think we are finally back on the right track regarding DH's leak issue. He went in last week and they put some special glue in to seal the hole and so far it seems to be working. He went to the Dr yesterday and the Dr took out the last drain so now all he has left in is the feeding tube for the next two weeks and that was left in just as a safety precuation. So DH is so excited to actaully be able to put something in his mouth although for the next few days it is still liquid type stuff but after two months he will take anything. So far he has lost 61 pounds.
Moving on to the boys. I talked to A's CASA worker finally and she called the SW to try and get some info out of her, but didn't really get much out of her. All she said was that he was with a really good foster adopt home so take that as you may. We finally found out what the bio mom's issue is besides being young she has a tendency for violent behavior and that is why she was in juvenile hall. The CASA worker's thoughts were. That if they were going to place this baby back with her she would think that they would be doing more then just one hour visits once a week. She would like to see documented evidence that she does have parenting skills other than feeding a bottle and changing a diaper. The CASA worker said that by the middle of March the SW should be able to tell us what she thinks will happen at court on April 2. It is possible that she could get him back that same day, but everyone will make a push for a slow transition if he is to go back. So once again on one hand we have some maybe good news but as you know anything can happen in court. As for M he got a new SW unfortunatley. I guess the mother lives in another city that is 15 minutes from us so they had to change the SW to that city's office. Well,the visit supervisor forgot to tell us that we would be getting a new SW so out of the blue two weeks ago we get a phone call from this guy saying he was the boys case worker. Well DH was totally thrown off guard so he was a little short with him. Well, it was obvious that the SW had not read the case file because he asked when M got out of school. DH was like he doesn't go to school he is an infant. Then the SW called back again and asked if the boy had visits and DH said have you even read the file and the guy snapped back yes, I have read it and it is not in there. Then the SW said do we have a problem do I need to find a new placment for him? DH was like hey lets step back here. Everything got off to a terrible start. So we called the old SW and told her what happened and she called the supervisor to try ang get us switched. To make a very long story short I talked to our old SW the other day and she said this guy has major issues and that this guy will lie and she was so sorry that we had to get stuck with him. She told him that we were a very good foster adopt home and he better not mess things up. He told her that he didn't threaten to remove M, but she said I know we said that to you because he was very defensive when it got brought up. So I am not looking forward to working with him. I talked to him in person on Monday and he was blowing smoke in my face saying some stuff. So if we have anymore problems we are to call the supervisor. It is kind of a bad place to be in because we don't want to rock the boat and cause any problems so we will just try and work through it. I also don't like to be lied to and apparently he doesn't work well with women so we will see what happens.
Other than that the boys are doing great. A learned how to crawl two weeks ago. He is funny we call it the army crawl because he just uses his elbows and pushes with his feet.He gets around very quickly. I was putting the boys pictures in albums last week. I was so amazed at how much they have changed. They are like two totally different little boys you would not think they were the same boys that came to us.
Our five year anniversary is coming up on the 28th and I think we are going to go to one of my favorite places Sea World. Although I have been there a thousand times I still love to go there and although the boys will have no idea what is going on they will probably smile and enjoy all the action. So until next time everyone have a wonderful Valentines Day.
