Well,
We’ll be getting tubes replaced on August 22nd. Joe and Chet did amazingly well at the ENTs office. Joe has fluid in both ears but no infection. He had his hearing checked and there is some loss due to the fluid. But, when the audiologist put the microphone on the bone, she saw that there is no permanant damage. He was such a big boy and got the big kid test. They were able to see such a difference from a few months ago when he had his hearing tested and now that we decided tubes were our best option. The poor booger can’t hear a thing. They said it’s like walking around with your fingers stuck very far into your ears. Joe knows that he’s going to get tubes. He told the doctor, “no, it’s okay. I can hear fine.” But, after I explained that we weren’t going to get them THAT DAY, he was better.

We had a wonderful visit with my grandparents although we have no pictures to prove it. I forgot my camera. It was a lot of fun to watch the boys bond with Teda and Stocky.

Have a great day!

We have an ENT appt tomorrow as a follow up to the ear infections. I won’t be surprised if Joe-Joe has fluid in his ears despite the nasal spray we’ve been using. He’s got the eye goop again. Last three times I took him to the ped because I was scared he had pink eye and he just had ear infections. So, I’d be surprised if we don’t make an appt to have tubes put back in…I’ll post on Monday. Hopefuly I’ll have some great pictures of the boys with Teda and Stocky (my grandparents.) Have a wonderful weekend! Much Love, K & co.

Well, This post isn’t really about the boys…it kind of is…but mostly about me turning 32! It sure beats the alternative that is for sure! I was telling Brian the other night when I was having a particularly whining, pity-party event that I don’t feel IMPORTANT sometimes. I feel like a floor sweeping, laundry doing, cook (not even chef) who often looks bad and smells worse. Thirty wasn’t so hard for me because I was pregnant and really FELT like I was doing something important. Then, yesterday, we went to Harwood, and I saw my beautiful children and sweet, wonderful husband, running and playing being so good to each other and I thought, yes, I am IMPORTANT. I may not ever get told that, but in those pure, wonderful, blissful moments, I realize how fortunate I am. I have a wonderful family full of loving, kind, supportive people. I have great health (maybe not so much mental health ;-)) and am so blessed. I hope you all are feeling as wonderful and fulfilled as I am today.
Much Love,
Kristi

Both boys went to the dentist today and got good reports. They were SO GOOD! I was so proud of them; I was extremely nervous about the whole thing because we went all by ourselves. But, I have to say, we were in, out and on our way to lunch with Daddy. They did pretty well at Daddy’s work too; although, they were kind of loud. We only hit a couple of rainy spots on our way home. All in all…what a wonderful day!
Hope yours was as good as ours.
Take Care,
K & co.
