OK. Just a thought. What if you got it real warm with a space heater before he went to bed and then took it out when he goes to bed. THen keep the door to your room open to give him some heat at night. It opens to your room right and you have heat.
I'lm sure you thought of some of these things anyway but just offering ideas.

We kinda sorta have heat even in our room. The whole upstairs is cold in the winter, really, but that room is like being outside, minus the direct wind. Granted, that is with the doors being kept shut, so I don't know how it would do with the doors open.
We keep our oil thermostat set at 50-55, so when the wood fire dies down, that's the temperature DOWNstairs. Upstairs is a good 5-10 degrees colder. Yeah...gotta love old uninsulated houses...

Doesn't CPS have a children's advocate for Nick? This whole situation is so asinine, it's hard to believe, except that you hear this kind of situation all the time. It is terribly sad how the systems set up to protect children are so messed up that they are messing up not only particular children in the system, but the families that they are in as well. The complete lack of sense is astounding.
I think part of the problem is that parents are no longer parenting. I have known many children whose parents let them watch anything. They watch all sorts of horror movies and various R rated movies with sexual and violent themes; movies that are inappropriate not only for children, but for anyone. These things are considered normal and the prerogative of parents to introduce to their own children. No wonder agencies designed to protect children often end up making more of a mess of things rather than helped to correct problems.
Situations like this make me realize all over again why I should not call CPS unless a child’s life in actually in danger. It is so messed up that the officials can’t even recognize what the problem is, let alone who is responsible for it.
I am very sorry you are having to go through this, Donna. It is the stuff nightmares are made of.

"For the good of the child" is not what these people are most concerned with. Remember that these are the same people that we had to deal with and who decided it was better for two children to be put in a group home rather than in a good family just because they didn't want to deal with interstate adoptions which is their job. They don't have to make sense. It is no skin off their nose.

It just shows how out of control our government is, but people are so complacent that it’s like the masses are hypnotized.

One of the side affects that can occur from the radioactive iodine treatment is to lose one's ability to taste. I have pretty much lost mine. Starburst candy tastes almost like wax. I have to make myself eat because nothing tastes very good. I am finding myself not able to sleep at night because I haven't eaten enough during the day. I get up and make a snack of tortilla chips, sharp cheddar cheese and pepperoni. I can barely taste the salt on the tortillas. I can't taste the sharp cheddar and the pepperoni only has a little flavor. I am sure that I am going to lose weight. I hope this doesn't last long though. I feel really messed up. It is hard to want to eat or to remember to eat when food doesn't have much if any flavor.

How long it lasts is an individual thing.
I have to go eat a hotdog now. Hot dogs actually taste better LOL! I have never liked how strong hotdogs were before. Now they aren't strong at all.

Can you drink a supplement just to make sure you get your nutrients?

Also, check your status ladies. I'm guessing Fritz will get it fixed, but right now married has been changed into in a relationship.

"In a relationship" was added to the list of statuses. Probably that's what messed everything up. If single was #4 on the list maybe now married is #4 or something like that.

I do not want to move him into my room. I need the refuge from him, bad as that might sound, and Brian and I need our space alone, especially with all the conflict with him. Plus, with it being summer and being pregnant, I have been sleeping naked with no sheet directly in front of the fan and STILL sweating. 
I've decided today we are going to be changing the rooms around, and blaming it on the baby coming. Not sure how exactly we'll do it yet...but Hannah is being moved in with Levi tonight. I just pray she SLEEPS.
