Ben's fundoplication surgery consult date is set for the day before he gets his tonsils out (Nov.17, overnight stay). We'll go ahead with the consult, even if we are doubtful about the surgery. The next combined clinic visit will be busy. Ben needs to have a bunch of tests every year (pulmonary function, echocardiogram, CT scan). They are all scheduled for the same day.
Ever heard of Ayurveda? Older than Chinese medicine, it works to restore balance and harmony, resulting in self-healing. (Sounds better than fundoplication!) Doctors come from India to the island every four months or so. We just missed their last visit at Earth Sanctuary, so I ordered a truckload of library books on the topic. Hopefully the books come after midterms.
School is going fine for me. I hate being gone when Ben isn't well, but I hate online courses even more. Right now I have a combination which seems to be the best compromise. Ben FINALLY has a tutor, Kim, a wonderful lady who brings his assignments to our home, helps clarify any rough spots, and brightens the day.
