Tanner's surgery

I thought I would do a quick update about Tanner's surgery...all went well and he is feeling much better. We had to be at the hospital at 6:30 am yesterday, he was taken to day surgery around 8ish and then we waited for them to come and get him for awhile. I thing the nurse came in around 8:45, I got to go into recovery with him about 9:30. He was quite crabby and restless when I saw him, which is understandable, one of the nurses gave him 2 shots to help calm him down, he had a IV in his hand. He didn't like it and was trying to pull it out, luckily he ended up calming down and then we went back to his room in the peds department. He slept for awhile and then we got him to drink some juice and after he had a wet diaper we were able to leave. We got home with him around 12. He had quite the day and was a very brave little boy!! The only problem we have with him is, he doesn't like his ear drops!! He goes back to the doctor in 2 weeks for a hearing test and a check up. Well I better scoot, time to get the kiddos ready for trick or treat!

Fall Pics

Here are a few pics of the kiddos that we took Sunday afternoon at the park and then Wednesday afternoon we "borrowed" our neighbors yard to take some pics in the pretty leaves.

Madison loves getting her pictures taken and is such a ham, Tanner on the other hand wasn't into getting his pictures done. He kept telling us, "I don't wanna." Yes I think the terrible 2s are starting!! Enjoy the pics we did!



He loves tractors!

She might be up to something!!

Not thrilled Tanner is sitting on her!

Sickness

Well some type of bug got me, I have been down since Sunday night, the last few days have been rough!! I was up a lot Sunday night, body aches, low grade temp, sore throat, and the worst symptom I had...a killer headache!! I felt like I was dying, I have NEVER felt like this before. Chad was getting ready to leave for work Monday and offered to stay home so I could rest and not have to worry about the kids, and I told him I would be fine...five minutes later, I told him to stay home. I am glad he did, I slept till 1! I went to the doctor and was told it was viral, rest, fluids, and Tylenol. Nothing made the headache any better! Today Maddy was supposed to have preschool, she didn't go...I woke up to get her ready and my head hurt so bad, I felt dizzy, we went back to sleep and then she helped me with Tanner so I could rest. I told her I would have to buy her a special treat for being a good helper today. My headache finally has gone away, I am hoping it doesn't come back, I don't think I could take another day of it. I have been off work the last 2 days and am also taking tomorrow off, no one wants their kids to catch this, it is the worst! After being down for 2 days and having daddy in charge yesterday and Maddy in charge today, my house is a mess and I have lots of laundry to catch up on! My nose is runny and I keep sneezing, hope to feel better soon and that Chad and the kids don't catch this bug!!

Tanner's ears

Yesterday I took Tanner back to see his ENT (ear, nose, throat) doctor for a follow up, and he is going to have a new set of tubes and his adenoids out on the 30th. His right tube is still clogged, we recently tried ear drops and antibiotics to see if that would help, but we had no such luck. So the doc thinks given the time of year and Tanner's history that replacing the tubes is our best choice. Currently the tube is blocked and there is no movement in the ear, so Tanner's hearing in that ear is most likely muffled. This should be a easy surgery so hopefully he recover quickly for Halloween the next day!! Please keeps us in your thoughts and prayers! I will update and let you know how he is feeling soon.

Madison's 4!

Wearing her crown from preschool

Madison recently celebrated her 4th birthday! We had a Hannah Montana birthday party on Sun Oct 4th at our house, thankfully the weather was warm enough that we could be outside! She had a great time. She got some new clothes and some new toys, she didn't ask for much this year. She really wanted a singing Hannah Montana barbie and a Leapster. On her actual birthday, Oct 5th, Chad came home early and we took her for dinner at Carlos O" Kelly's...her favorite place. It is hard to believe that she is 4 already...time sure does fly!!
