April 17 = Moving Day II

So I took Liam and Malia to the CDC this morning so that I could give 100% to packing and moving.  A couple of weeks ago when we first started dropping them off there, there was a form we had to fill out for each kid and we learned we'd have to fill it out every time we went.  One of the questions is if the child is on any medication.  I thought since Malia doesn't take her seizure medication at the CDC they didn't need to know about it.  Yes, she could have a breakthrough seizure but the only thing to do for her if she has a seizure is to call 911 and that's what they would do with or without my instructions.  Well the second time we took them, Zachary filled out the paperwork and noted that she takes an anti-seizure medicine.  Wellllllllllllllllllll they didn't like that.  So the receptionist gives me a form that I need to fill out.  It's made for kids with allergies or asthma- there are lots of questions that just do not apply to Malia's situation but they don't have a form for seizures so this was going to have to do.  I filled it out to the best of my ability and turned it in.  Well, I get an email the next day saying I had left the physician's signature blank.  I didn't see it.  I also think it's silly that a doctor has to sign a paper saying call 911 if a child has a seizure.  Duh.  I understand you need a doctor to approve if you say stab her with an epi pen or if there was a medication she had to have but the answer is just- call 911.  So I forgot to get the doctor to sign it.  I go to take the kids in today so I can pack and move stuff but I'm not allowed to leave Malia because the doctor hasn't signed the paper.  I take a deep breath, remain very friendly, and chalk it up to getting to give Malia some individual attention.  So now one of my top priorities is getting the printer hooked up and connected to the internet so I can scan and get this paper signed.  Enough of that- here's Malia working on standing in the new place:


And here are the cats freaking out about their rapidly changing environment and hiding where they feel safe in the old place:

I mentioned yesterday that I took a picture of Liam in his room before moving any furniture in.  Well I took a picture of him in his room after moving all the furniture out.  Two weeks short of a year has passed between these two pictures.  Too bad I couldn't get him to stand for this one- the first one was the first time he stood on his own.  It's crazy how far he's come!
