No Title

Regards my yesterday’s post- yes, the tonsillectomy is a pretty brutal surgery done the old style, but it was quite necessary, since I was sick most of the time and my tonsils were getting pretty bad. I wasn’t looking for pity either, just thought it would be a good proof for those doubting my statements about how it was done :)! No long term damage done here!

Hopefully this procedure is done more humanely now that there are lot of foreigners sponsoring some of those Belarus hospitals, I know that in Latvia they have been done in the very civilized way for a while now too.

There are so many brutal procedures still going on around the world, I think the most brutal and sadistic one is female circumcision, done all over Africa and in some Muslim countries, that brakes my heart just imagining what those little girls go through   during procedure and the horrendous impact it leaves in their lives. It hurts my heart to think of all the ways children are suffering trough out  the world. As heartless as it might sound I try not to think about it and sort of trying to ignore it, because if I didn’t, I would be a basket case. Every time I hear Johnny Cash’s “Man in Black”, I say a little prayer for all those suffering around the world and then I move on by listening to some happy “Queen” music.

Tomorrow Jack is going in for his ear tube procedure! This hospital believes in joining it together with the adenoid removal, but I’m still hoping that Jack won’t need that done- time will tell. Jack’s speech has been delayed as some of you may know- he does a lot of jibber jabber, but not so much clear talking, so we finally figured that he has a significant amount of fluid in his ears what could most likely be the culprit of his speaking troubles. He has not had any ear infections, thank goodness!!!, but we still need to take care of the fluid, since that can lead to hearing loss in the long run. Sadly, we are quite familiar with that- Ethan had the same problem and at age 5 he failed the hearing test. On the happier note, right after his tubes were placed and the excess fluid drained his hearing bounced right back and Ethan has perfect hearing now.  It definitely feels good to go in for Jack’s procedure and know what we are going to deal with, that little bit of experience helps a lot. Hopefully my baby cakes Jacksie Boo will be well enough tomorrow to let me sit down at the computer and write an other blog tomorrow.

And I’m off to entertain a 2 year old who needs to stay up and eat a lot of food, since he’s not going to be able to eat breakfast until the procedure will be over.

Have good night and thank you for reading!
