superlim9. My slack, is slacking. The app keeps crashing when I open it.

How's little Lim doing? Any word on a positive test?

[superlim9]

my slack is installed on my tablet... have internet on laptop now so i can watch some TV while off duty, only can have one device online so had to choose... i run android on my pc so i'll get the app when i can remember to back it up on my tablet and transfer it over.

hearing re-test not till mid jan. he had a weight gain after a marathon week of feeding/pumping/ and supplementing some with formula after loosing the little bit he gained at his 2 week appointment. so now we know he has no internal issues with digestion, so thats a blessing. back to a normal feeding routine this week as a control.

That's good news. How long are you away, before heading back home?

[superlim9]

Hope you return to good news. I'm sure everything is fine, though and nothing to worry about.

superlim9. How's the little man doing? And Mrs Superlim? She have some solid support while you are away? And how you are doing being away?

[superlim9]

seems ok for the most part. appears to have a cold now. The Mrs. has her mom up for the time being. but she has been there for us since i went to work in october before the birth. Its a rough go right now, with all the snow she's being hit with. and she is plowing on her own. our driveway isnt much but a good 100 yards. L has his audiology appointment on Wednesday so fingers crossed. Its rough having to have left after having him only 10 days and having to be gone 5 weeks, to make up for taking extra week off. im getting plenty of pics, but still just not the same

I hear you man. That's rough. FaceTime and pictures just don't do it. Not even close. I hate being away, but after 10 days? Damn.

You pretty busy while you are gone though? It always sucks when you have truckloads of time and aren't home. I was away for 5.5 weeks for something that easily could have been done in 1-2. Plus, full days keep your mind busy.

Do you get any chance to be a tourist where you go? The pics of the pyramids are amazing, you get to see the area at all or just from the air as you fly over?

[tjr42px]

Welcome back home superlim9! I'm sure your over the moon and your wife and little one glad you're home. Any update on the hearing test or is that next month?

[superlim9]

I stay in a secured location while I'm on shore. Some guys go out and have been to the piramids, but there was a bombing last month in the tourist area so I'm just not taking chances. I see what I see from the air... and to be honest before 2011 it might have been a beautiful place but since that first time they overthrew the government it's a disaster.

Update on L is that the day before his appointment they decided to tell us they couldn't test him because he wasn't a year old. So had to wait for another referral and another appointment for another month out was made... so no still waiting

That's crazy! Aren't they the same ones who scheduled it?

Yeah they are the same ones who scheduled it... now we have to go to a different place

[tjr42px]

That's messed up. How you going to schedule something you know you won't do?!? Bullshit. They can't even claim they didn't know. Second question is "date of birth?" Jackasses.

Frustrating. Everything otherwise good?

[superlim9]

yeah for the most part all is good.. back at work again after only 3 weeks off... so he was born December 2nd and i've been home approx 20 days in total.. wtf.. lol.. the things we do to provide

[tjr42px]

That sucks, but its the way it goes sometimes. Your wife still have her mom there?
