Who has time to blog, anyway? Wow, we've been busy.
Sophia is still suffering from 2 lovely (not the word the drs. have used) ear infections and is on her 3rd antibiotic. We are assuming that this infection makes it difficult to sleep, so we have been suffering from some nighttime screaming. The children are baring up under it rather well, but Dave and I are looking a little ragged, I think.
Surgery is Monday at 10am. Unless these infections carry with them a fever, surgery will go on without problems. We are thinking of adding a little flair to the 2 hour long surgery with a couple of ear tubes. We're not sure yet if we will go with the tube option (or even if the ENT surgeon can swing it at that time) but we get to go to the ENT dr. tomorrow. If we're going to do it, doing it all at once would have lots of advantages. You can pray for that decision. Hopefully the dr. will have a pretty clear recommendation.
So, she's a punkin, but she's a little fussy these days. She's waving at everyone and says, "hi," we think. She still has her glove on and seems fine with that, although the thumb would surely help the nighttime screaming! She's a pro at the sippy cup now. She can do it all by herself and even enjoys the rice milk we've been putting in it. She guzzles it down and then slams her cup on her tray...we're working on that.
I'll try to blog again soon and let you all know what we decide about ear tubes. OK, I need to go to bed in preparation for the screaming to come :).

I so feel your pain with the night time screaming. Ethan likes to do that too. First it was because it was dark in there. Then we put a night light in and a month he slept. Then it was because there was a night light in, so we took that out and now he's sleeping again. I'm so ready for him to communicate to us, instead of the screaming!
ReplyDeleteHe is getting tubes put in April 9th. He's had 1 ear infection so far. They are putting the tubes in the same time they are fitting his mouth for the Latham device. They also said it would be better to schedule it at the same time as another surgery. I hope (if you decided to do it) that your ENT will be able to do it on Monday.
Ethan is also waving "bye-bye" (because he loves to leave the house LOL). He's also learned this week how to sign milk and more.
We'll be praying for you guys.
