Well that sucks. I assumed it would be quicker in a more urban area. I don’t know how US insurance works, but if they can afford better insurance to get the kids seen to, they really should’ve had it. Set for life

Umm, Tim, maybe you should've asked if the stew meat was pork or chicken you brought it. Since alot of your viewers don't eat pork for various reasons.
Why would peach cobbler not be warm? You do you at home if you like it cold. But every and I mean every restaurant I've been too it has always been served warm.

Yes, but that's 3 months from appt. to surgery.
I didn't watch the live but from what was stated here, Jenn said it was a months (and months) long wait LIST.
To me, that says that they don't even have a definitive appt. yet.
THAT is what sounds fishy to me.
I'm not expecting Jackson to see his pediatrician and then get scheduled for surgery the next day.
However, I DO believe there is - as usual - some part of the story missing. To me, it just seems like they were offered a date and it conflicted with a vacation, offered another date and it conflicted, etc., so they were put on a list to be called if / when an opening happened and they'd be called and if it worked for them, they'd go with it. Because if they actually had a date 3 mos. out like your son's dental surgery, then she would have said, "Jackson's surgery is in May."
Yeah, I don't buy it's some months long waitlist to get a simple procedure done even with tit insurance they must have.
I've never waited longer than a few weeks from appointment to surgery including when I had kind of crappy insurance and was limited on what practitioners I could go to.

Off-topic: I'm so jealous of everyone's new Orange Bird merch! I'm an Orange Bird stan as well, lol. I don't even know why, but he's just so cute. And I've always been a Citrus Swirl/Dole Whip Orange fan instead of Pineapple Dole Whip, so that may be part of it too.
Also off-topic: I spotted your LEGO succulents in the background of your haul pic; I'm also obsessed with LEGO! I love how you displayed them in a bowl
I'm currently working on the R2-D2 set that I got for Christmas after coveting it for years but not wanting to pay so much for it. After that, it'll be the Van Gogh "Starry Night" piece that can be hung on the wall! It may sound weird, but LEGO is one of my forms of self-care. Concentrating on the intricate builds forces me to focus and actually calms and relaxes me, because I'm not able to think about a million other things at the same time like I am every other hour of the day. And I feel accomplished as I watch the creation form in front of my eyes 
On-topic: If I'm remembering correctly, Jenn didn't go to the opening day of Festival of the Arts in January either. Tim went with Adam, or at least met up with him there, and then however many days/weeks later, he went back with Jenn. So maybe she's decided she doesn't like festival opening days for whatever reason and is ok with him going without her? She probably doesn't like having to wait in lines for every booth because it's so packed with vloggers and the general public on the first day.
Tim mentioned that he was going...he said the day after Flower & Garden, so it must be today.
"It's a pretty big bite, but we'll try it."
Yes Dim. If by "try it" you mean unhinging your jaw to such a ridiculous extent that you appear to be sucking off a large wedge of theme park pizza lengthwise: mission accomplished. His face is so contorted that the screenshot actually looks photoshopped.
Have you ever seen a grown man hold a plastic fork like a developmentally-challenged toddler might hold a toy beach shovel? Whilst scooping up 1/3rd of the top of a cupcake he had just dropped on a filthy table? Balancing said chunk of cupcake on said plastic fork with a bizarre simian-like four-fingered grip? Bringing the chunk of dirty cupcake frosting towards his gaping maw in a sideways motion whilst simultaneously jutting out his neck like a snapping turtle grabbing a treat from a cautious zookeeper?
All whilst having a stray piece of the filthy frosting dangling from beneath the odiously manicured fingernail of his middle finger?
Well, now you have.
Well stated.
To me it’s not an insurance issue, but rather the INCONVENIENCE to them of the available surgery dates offered.
As usual THEIR enjoyment, desires, wants, needs, etc. come before their two miracle sons well being!
(it is getting too late for Oliver’s misshaped head, which they probably never inquired about.
I still am not convinced that O was taken to all his recommended check ups in his first year)
Tim & J4D’s top priority is and always will themselves.
The boys are either dumped with a nanny so they can play childless, dragged along and ignored or passive aggressively interacted with.

I'm going to be off topic as well : absolutely love everyone's Orange Bird merch - thank you for posting the pix and sharing with us. Last time we made the trip down it was during Flower and Garden and I have such great pix of all the topiary. Hoping to return back in 2025 - fingers crossed.
LOL.
LOL.
Ok just commented in the KP forum…how do NONE of these vloggers know how to eat like actual humans? Of all the weird commonalities they hold, the inability to properly use a utensil is the strangest to me.
Yeah but knowing Jenn probably won't get a video out in a timely manner or Jenn will post the video about it when there is only one day left of the festival.
Yup. It’s another version of “multiple concierge cruises in a $25k suite, but blueberries are too pricey for J$.”
I don't know what to believe, because I have no idea which parts of their story are true. It could be some of it, it could be none of it. I know they are not being 100% truthful. They have shared that his ear infections have made it so he has, what they are making it out to be, significant hearing loss. Tim says in a home vlog---he can't hear a word I'm saying because of his ears. I would think any doctor would prioritize a 4 year old suffering hearing loss.
It's technically been "months and months" already since he's supposedly had the ear infection since October. I can see it taking some time to get into a specialist office. So many providers are not taking new patients because there are so many new people that have moved here. But once established in the office, everything going forward should be relatively quick. Not next day quick, but a couple of weeks. Not months and months, indefinitely.

Exactly. That's why I'm not buying it - again, based on what she apparently said in the live If anyone has a timestamp, we can review it further.
I just find it hard to believe in metro Orlando - and with their money - that their pediatrician knowing full well that Jackson has had multiple infections, is in apparent ongoing discomfort, and obvs has hearing issues (not to mention accompanying speech issues) is just like "Oh well, we'll put you on a wait list for the next available whenever..."
It's not like we're a third world country. And if they DID receive that blasé response, they could easily go anywhere else for a "second opinion" of sorts - pay out of pocket - and get on the phone and search the area for another provider / facility who could get them in sooner.
As I stated the other day - and I full well know it's apples and oranges - but when our cat had just an initial potential DX of renal and intestinal cancer by our older, initial vet (it wasn't definitive at the time) and was told just to go home and let him die (!!!) without any options given, we digested that awful news for one full day before I immediately got on the phone finding another vet who could take us right away for a second-opinion.
Found a wonderful new vet who got on the case pronto, ran more tests, and fast-tracked us to the specialist in Orlando who squeezed us in for an ultrasound with other diagnostics as well (within his super booked scheduled), plus then - when the diagnosis was sadly confirmed - started him immediately on chemo two months before there was even an opening at the renowned pet cancer clinic here - and that specialist then ALSO pulled strings at the cancer center to get us in there the very next week to start chemo as new ongoing provider (again, two months PRIOR to their "next available opening" - of which our cat would have been dead by then) up unto his passing.
Yes, our kitty ultimately succumbed to his cancer but the point is - is that we moved heaven and earth for our cat to get him seen and taken care of faster to aid in his comfort and well-being.
Apples and oranges - cat vs. a HUMAN CHILD. Yes, I realize that. But I just don't see the urgency here with them and Jackson.
New voog up. Jenn "I've really started making an effort with the thumbnails recently" Tracker presents her newest masterpiece.
She is really trolling Tim and the rest of us at this point. You simply can't make stuff like this up.
I’ve been living in Florida for 7 months now (having moved from the other side of the country so we can be closer to my partners family) and I’ve always wanted to go to the Strawberry festival. I’ll be there this weekend!
I'm not buying the new provider thing as being their issue (or others' issues). I go to AdventHealth for my medical needs. I just did a quick search and there's TONS of pediatricians who are accepting new patients in the network, including this one who actually specializes in otolaryngology and is accepting new patients.
Maybe they'd have to drive out of Lake Nona to see someone. Oh, the horror. Or pay out of pocket to get their kid quicker care for his issue.
(I know we don't know their insurance...but they can pay OOP if need-be)
It's like @mjm9 said, it's an inconvenience to them.

Jenn got a video out before noon? And before Adam the Woo did? I’m honestly shocked.
