More Medical Records Arrived

We FINALLY got the notes from the electrophysiologist that SS14 was seeing. This one said he just was going through puberty and there were no real issues, just minor Tachycardia. No restrictions, no concern. Annual follow up. 

However!!! There was a fun note in there!! In June 2017 BM stated that SS lived with Mom, Stepdad, Sister and 1/2 brother. 

In April 2018 BM stated under oath in court that she lived alone with SS in a different town. 

Vacation Booked!!

I really wanted a vacation with just DH and I but this is the next best thing! We are going on an 8 day cruise and booked the kids all in a seperate room! LOL 

I love cruising, it is my favorite way to vacation. The kids are all old enough that I don't have to worry about them the days we are at sea. We will book awesome adventure shore excursions. It will be fantastic! I can't wait! 

What do we do from here?

Court is in 19 days. Whoo Hoo! 

Previously we believed BM was making up illnesses. However, it was discovered that one may not be so made up. While neither the cardiologist that he had been going to, or the electrophysiologist that we were aware he went to made this diagnosis a 3rd cardiology clinic did. Apparently back in 2017 he was given this POTS diagnosis. Now, we were told SS was fine by everyone else, including his primary doctor. It took a lot of digging on my part to find out that this doctor even saw him. 

Feeling like a failure

My son has had anxiety issues his whole life. When he was a toddler he saw a therapist- it really was training me, but it helped. We learned a lot of coping skills. Things were better for a while. Middle school hit (last year). My son spent most of 6th grade in tears every night. He refused to go to counseling. This year right after school started that he couldn't live like this anymore, he was thinking about self-harm. I told him that it wasn't a choice anymore and we were going. We had 2 therapy appointments and then were referred to the med doctor. We had that appointment this morning.

Talked to our lawyer last night

Talked to our lawyer last night. They bumped the court date one more day- but at least it should stay that date. We briefly went over some of the things going on. I told him about SS14's school principal and how she told us that any further questions about SS should go to the school's attorney. Our lawyer said "Are you F'ing kidding me?? Please tell me you have that in writting and have the lawyers contact info?!?" - I told him that I did and I would forward that e-mail. He said "I will handle this BS now." 

Y'all have got to be tired of me...

We finally got SS14's medical records from his primary. The office manager there used to coach SS and was not happy to hear that BM was acting like such a horrible B. We told her that we had been trying to find out who SS's doctor was for years and BM refused to tell us. We also told her about the false reports she made at the school on SS's IEP. She talked us through all kinds of things and then let us know that a referral had been sent out to a hospital for an Elhors-Danlos consult.

Son of a Biscuit!

Last night we finally got the IEP from SS14's school that we had requested weeks ago. Couple of fun things:

1) BM's boyfriend is listed as DAD.

2) BM states that SS has been medically diagnosed with Dyslexia 

  • Nope. She had him tested and he came back being fine. We have that report from 2015

3)BM states that SS has Elhors-Danlos

  • Nope again. We have those results too.

4) BM states that SS has POTS (Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome) and needs a special diet and can pass out at school

Things that amaze me...

My ex (DD and DS's father) got orders to the west coast. SM let me know via e-mail and asked if we could talk about a new custody plan. No problem! Took 2-3 quick emails back and forth. They wrote it up and we both signed and notarized it. Done and done. No fuss, no issues, no arguements. 

Then we have BM... The never ending drama. The acusations, the lies, the court and lawyer fees. How is it that it is so easy to work with one ex and so crazy to work with the other? 

Talked to a social worker

In my desperation in getting letters from the genetics clinic that we took SS to stating that his diagnosis procedure in no way put him in any harm and was just a simple physical exam, I wound up breaking down crying (like an idiot) with the head of the clinic. She asked if I wanted to talk to the hospital social worker for advice. So I did.
