It's been quite awhile since you've seen any updates on us, huh!! We've been busy.. moved to our new apartment on April 1st, court dates and attorney visits to get this horribly long and drawn out divorce/custody battle put to rest, and lots of doctor visits with the kids. My mom and I have started a couple of new business ventures, which are going very well, and we've been doing testing concerning Drews speech to qualify for Early Intervention next year (he does!). We also celebrated a birthday for an incredibly sweet little 3 year old, 2 baptisms, and 2 cousins birthdays. Among all of that, we have to find time to have FUN! And with the weather getting nicer, we're not inside any more than we have to be!! Anyway... ;) I'll try to update with pictures from the last couple of months, but bear with me as posting will probably be few and far between!!
This past Thursday, Drew had surgery yet again. Had his 2nd set of tubes put in, just 11 months after the 1st set was done. He also had his adnoids taken out this time. Obviously first and foremost I want him to feel better. It can't feel good to have all that fluid/pressure on his ears. But I'm also hoping this will help with his speech, snoring, and runny nose. Drew also told me that if his knees are broken, the tubes will fix those as well. (?! He's 3... who knows what his little mind was thinking!) He was a champ again this time, and the nurses just loved him! (who doesn't?!) He was in very good spirits directly following the procedure, and couldn't believe another little girl cried when they took out her IV. Ha! However the last couple of days have been extremely trying with him. He's been running a low grade fever, hates having the eardrops put in, and he's just ouchy and moody. I know this is normal, and to be expected, but I was definately spoiled last year when he had them done the first time!! He's sleeping a lot, but hopefully in the next couple of days he'll be back to his rotten little 3 yr old self!! Can't wait! Until then.. heres a few pictures from the recovery room. He laid there for somewhere close to 2 hrs, and got to watch Thomas. We snuggled up on the bed, under warm blankets (don't you LOVE the warm blankets the hospital brings you?!), drinking apple juice (diet pepsi for momma) and waited to be dismissed! What a tough little guy I've got! :)
We'll try to post again soon.. Hope you all are enjoying the warmer temps!! And if anyone knows why I can't get my pictures to save any larger, I'd love to know! They used to be much bigger...not sure what's changed?!
