The doctor said on Wednesday that both Tank's ears still looked very infected, so he got an antibiotic injection for three days in a row. On the third day, he also got the flu shot and his second round of preventive shots (he had not had any before he came to me). He literally did not cry at all for the first two shots in his right leg, and stopped crying immediately when the shots were done in the second leg. Best. Baby. Ever. I'm waiting on the ENT to call to set up a follow up appointment.
Tank's caseworker was here on Friday (the first time she has set foot in my house since he has been here). There is a court date set for January, and I originally thought this was because mom should be finished with her treatment plan by then (based on a conversation I had with the GAL) and that Tank would likely go back with his mom at that time. The caseworker said that although Tank's mom is making good steady progress with her plan, there was no way she would be finished with everything by then. She also told me there is another family member that just had a home study completed to have Tank placed with her. Apparently the person completing the home study has not written up the report yet, but sounded positive about the outcome; and said it is possible Tank will be moved there in the next week or two.
Tank is now crawling and is getting into everything! He's pulling up to his knees on short surfaces, so I'm sure it won't be long before he is pulling up to standing. Now that he is so mobile, he is not happy to be contained in the exersaucer anymore (or even really to be held much). I am in trouble now!
