Just when you think it’s all under control…your kiddo gets something like an ear infection. I know that in the scheme of things, it’s so minor, but when you have a kid that NEVER complains of pain that all of the sudden is like, Mama, my ear hurts…you sure feel bad. We went to the pediatrician yesterday and poor Joe Joe has an ear infection. Then, this am I see that he has drainage from his infected ear. I called the ped and the ENT and they both said that his eardrum has ruptured. I guess this sounds worse than it is. The ENTs office said to put peroxide in the ear before putting in some antibiotic drops. Man, oh, man, did some nasty stuff come out of there…I guess that’s good. Poor guy having all that junk in there can’t feel good. We have an appt with the ENT once Joe is done with his antibiotics. They will look to make sure the infection is gone and that the tear in his eardrum has healed. So, my vivacious little monster is now just a tired, sick little monster…hope he’s back to his old self soon. You know, it’s funny, you pray for your kids to be still for just a little bit, but then, they get sick, and you wish they were back to being little terrors! I guess be careful what you wish for.
Much love,

Thought this picture of Chet was too cute not to share. He loves his cookies. Joe is making great strides in his eating too! He’s added cheese and peperoni pizza to his list of acceptable foods!

Joe is enrolled in preschool and we go pick up our information packet on the 9th! What a big boy!

Much Love,

Well, We went to the beach and had a GREAT time. Joe and Chet did amazingly well! NO FITS! Well, at least the first day there were no fits. We went on Thursday a.m, spent the night at a hotel on the beach, came home Friday afternoon, went Saturday to Brian’s family reunion, camped out, came home Sunday through Thursday, left Friday for my family reunion and came home on Sunday.

We are getting ready to leave for an appt with Joe’s occupational therapist and he’s not happy about that at all!

Sure hope that you are all doing well.

Joe is holding steady at 30 lbs!

Take Care,
Kristi

Chet had his 18 month well check. Things are well. He’s 50 th percentile height, 75 th percentile in weight and off the charts in his head…I guess they come from a long line of big headed boys…they must need that to hold their brains. The boys are doing well and love to play together. Chet likes to turn the t.v. off when Joe is really interested in a program…it’s funny. Hope you are all well.
Much love,

Well,
This is my first blog entry. I’ve decided that this might be a fun way to keep photos and happenings updated without sending mass e-mails. Feel free to come by anytime to see new pics and find out what’s going on.

Joe is still having some “food issues.” We had about a month of really good eating, now the last couple of days have been more like the days of old. I’m struggling to get him to eat. I know that it’s power at this point. I sure wish he would test his limits in other ways than through food! We have an appt for the urologist next Monday. We thought we had gotten this all taken care of when he was a baby, but it turns out we may have another procedure in our not so distant future. When he tee-tee’s it looks like a fountain spraying.

Chet has his 18 month well check next week. We certainly are not concerned about weight for that one!

I hope you are all well!

Much love,
Kristi & co.
