I'm sorry I didn't have time earlier to post much other than Mamush's "Michael Jackson" moment. I brought the 3 younger kids to the pediatrician for shots, and I ended up having chest x-rays done on Maritu and Mamush at the hospital. I even had Kenneth come with us, so maybe he would pull some strings to lessen the wait time. By the way, he's just worthless!!! lol! We had to have this done though, or the government might come and take our kids and put them in foster care because they feared they had TB. If they really did have TB, then I'd hate for the Health Department to know that the 400+ people in church the last two weeks, all the people on the KLM flight from Amsterdam and Ethiopia, and all those poor immigrants that were in that long line at immigration in Houston will have to be quarantined too! No, I'm just joking, but the Health Department said that they wanted a chest x-ray. I was thankful they didn't make us go to the Houston health Department for another TB skin test. That was a posssibility too. I mean, how many tests does one have to go through before the result will stand? Well, hopefully the phantom TB issue will be resolved now. Then we just have to get through all of these consults that Mamush's many doctors have requested: genetics, opthamology and neurology.
I love that picture!! Sorry about all the TB issues. I got a positive TB test when I was 18 and it haunts me to this day. I understand the worry for the health department but sheesh it is annoying for the individuals. It is so fun reading about your adventures at home with the two M's. I can't wait to be in your shoes.
