Morning, morning, and afternoon!

Kuma, glad to hear hubby dropped off that passport, let's hope KG turns it around quickly for you guys. I am looking forward to posting those last couple updates for you!

Canuck, there are a few more explanations of those 3 letters! LOL.

Mrs P, sorry to hear the little one not yet recovering. I hope all the TLC from Mom helps. You need an organizer for that party for your son, LOL. Maybe it could be a bit smaller and somewhat quieter this year, seeing as his sister isn't feeling well.

SQ, MrsLwsn, hang in there fellow journeyers. Some days the lack of information makes to drive me mad. I can endure waiting, but I agree with SQ that when you know nothing about what is going on, it adds an (unnecessary) element of fear to the process. A little more transparency to this process would go a great way towards calming the nerves that come with this really big decision and undertaking!

I am completely disappointed with POS right now and how they are dealing with the medicals. I don't know how they managed to reduce their processing time by 3 months(!) when they can be so obviously slacking off in this vital area!

Hey Mrs. Proper what did you do with your little one in regards to tonsils being so swollen and inflamed. I do childrens tylenol and warm tea with honey and things like that....I'm really against antibiotics and am a very natural minded person. I don't want to overload a child who has some allergy and sinus issues with to much of that stuff and compromise her immune system. And lawd knows Jamaica behind in medical practices. Still telling people to lay in bed to heal sprains n ting when movement cures them faster...and simple stuff gets you six different types of antibiotics...not my child...no sir!! So I was curious what you did for your little one? It sucks seeing them so sore and sick!!

And thanks CharlieD...I'm gonna owe you alot of thanks at the end of this process. You've been one of my biggest supporters on here...and usually the first one to respond with encouragement...tee hee maybe you just are on here the most I dunno...but I thank you for it...you rock girl...seriously!!

 

[Mrs Proper]

Good morning everyon!!!

SQ- when my lil guy had his tonsils out I really dint have a choice, he would stop breathing at night because the 2 tonsils were what they called "kissing" they were so large that they touched eachother. He would wake up every night out his sleep because he would stop breathing. Finally now since he was born 6 years ago he sleeps thro the night! its funny that you say that about ja cuz I agree. If my kids get so much as a runny nose or cough mr proper says they need to get meds, where as here they will tell you to let your immune system handle it. Which is true because the more meds you take the more your immune system relys on them which to my understanding will make it more weak. So we jus try to disinfect everything here to keep the household under control if one does get sick.

I hope everyone has enjoyed their week so far, our lil girl is feeling much better minus the cold, but she's back to school this morning

Hopefully today we get some good news cuz the silence s killing us now!!! And the countdown begins to his meds expiry!! :S Come on KGN and POS let's give some ppr's today, including mr proper lol

Have a good day everyone

Morning, morning, morning!

Mrs P, SQ hope the little ones are getting better. When they are that young, I agree with letting them run the course of illnesses without too much interference. Their bodies bounce back much faster, and they build up immunities to various germs. Whisking a child off to doctor at the first sign of a sniffle is not something I am used to in my family, but I see it more often nowadays. Then again, I also see kids nowadays with illnesses I didn't know of children contracting when I was a child!

Being here keeps me sane about the process, SQ, LOL. I am reminded that this is not something I am doing in isolation, and others understand some of the frustration I feel as it goes on. I am also reminded to count my blessings, others have been separated way longer than I have, so when I feel too much like whinging I remember their example and suck it up, buttercup, LOL.

Have a great day everyone, and make those weekend plans, Fry-Day is just around the corner! And as my husband always says, don't sweat the petty stuff, pet the sweaty stuff!

 

[RandysGirl]

Hi forum family! I'm back reluctantly but had an incredible time with my husband. I miss him already thank god time went slow and we cherished evry single moment together. Our medicals etc expire next week which is disappointing, however I am hopeful we will hear something- ANYTHING soon.

Glad to Hear of Kumas call and Irvings homecoming story!

Ummmm Kingston... Its update Thursday did you forget???? Lol

 

[CharlieD10]

Welcome back, RG! I'm sure the visit, though short, was good for you! Short but sweet, as the saying goes.

Medicals expiring here, medicals expiring there, and POS doing Lord-alone-knows-what with the re-medicals they receive and KG, well, they are just quiet. Come on, KG, make some calls so some people can make some noise!! NEXT already!!!

 

[Kedeisha]

welcome back RG

 

[masskendawta]

Rec'd THE call this morning!!

My passport was requested!!!!!....YAY!!!!!!!.......... ;D

Thinking of how to flagpole already and I have'nt even sent the passport yet!!!

Does anyone know where I can get info on which ports of entry allow flagpoling? I am in British Columbia.

Thanks

 

[CharlieD10]

Oh yes!!! An update, woohoo!!! Congrats masskendawta.

You'll want to use a major port of entry between the US and Canada. The immigration officers there will likely be more familiar with the procedures.

Thank you, KG, one more 2010 file down. Come, bring another one home today!!

Update post coming up, woot! ;D ;D

This one is for MKD

[canuck0469]

A big congrats MKD, the best for you is Boundary Bay, just out side of Vancouver. It is used by many so they will be in the loop of flagpoling

Good luck

Good morning forum fam, I hope our little ones are feeling a bit better today

 

[Mrs Proper]

Finally an update!!! Congrats masskendawta!!!!

Canuck- my lil girl woke up feeling much better so she went to school. I disinfected my whole house today in hopes that noone else gets it!!

Masskendawta- did you have to do a med redo?? If so when did they send you the letter? Ours is coming up in october and I'm pretty sure he will have to redo so I'm jus looking at time frames. Thanks

 

[kuma]

Proper were thinking positive remember your gonna get that call soon.

 

[Mrs Proper]

Thanks Kuma I hope yer right!! We both need that call asap. Mr proper is really down and frustrated today, feel so bad for him, he keeps saying "well another week and still nothing" he says he has no luck and he's never gonna get here I wish that call would come to make things better for us and our family. We've been so stressed lately that this would be amazing news to get!!!
