Kaiser Denial

Well after all that work, Kaiser has denied our request for an outside referal to a specialist surgeon. A month has been wasted (not to mention the insurance plan premium) and despite a letter from the specialist and a letter from the Senators office, they have the gall to refuse us a simple outpatient operation. Incredible.

Both the boys are crawling well now, and Barbara has decided to conduct bath time in the bath tub. They are like slippery snakes in there. You have to hang onto a limb otherwise they dive in.

Barbara had a tough adjustment from the jet lag and lack of sleep during her trip and return. There have been some rough nights with the babies as we try to desperatly find a combination of feeding and sleeping schedule that will get them to 6am. Barbara still gets up at 5am and does a full days work and it is taking a toll.

barbaras joints, knees in particular are causing her pain. We think this is "normal" after giving birth, but the Kaiser doctor says its nothing to worry about. Standing up with babies is not helping, but there is little to be done about that.

We have had to put our search for a new place to live on hold while we try to put out all these other fires. Our landlord has been very acomodating and allowed us to stay a little longer and pay a little more. How thoughtful.
