Finally an Update

Sorry it has taken me awhile to blog. Time has gotten by with us being busy. We had a fun memorial weekend in Seattle with family. The kids loved spending time with their cousins, grandparents, and aunt & uncle. It was a lot of fun. Will post pictures either later today or tomorrow.

We have been busy since Tuesday after Memorial Day with N's surgery. If we are ever told that E's tonsil/adenoids need to be taken out we will be seriously be talking to the dr about it. We thought this would be a little easier. I knew that N wouldn't take well to the surgery part and some of the pain but it has been worse then we thought. It's like the pain meds (prescription) wears off about 3-3.5 hrs after taking the dose...which we are not to give the next dose until close to 4 hrs. So that last 30 minutes are tough on him. Won't even go into how it makes him feel somewhat b/c it is Tylenol w/Codeine. Plus we were told that he had to have food in his stomach to take it. So if he wasn't' eating around the time then to give him Tylenol. Well come to find out 3 days ago that Tylenol doesn't work hardly at all and needs to take the prescription. And that he can just have a drink in his stomach to take it. Anyways...starting 3 nights ago (maybe it was 4...a little sleep deprived right now) N started waking up and crying screaming around 10pm. Two nights it took 1-1.5 hrs to calm him down and get him back to sleep. Then wake up again 4 hours later. Well 2 nights ago I purposely woke him up at 9:30 to give him meds and then he slept until 1:15a and got him to take some more and then back to sleep fairly fast. Then last night he slept from 8pm-6am except for when I came home from work at 10pm the garage door woke him but easily got him back to sleep. Then today has been a good day with some eating and only one small breakdown when meds were starting to wear off. Here is hoping that it just gets better from here!

The weather is so crazy here! Right now it is very windy and the temp is right around 60 degrees. Yesterday it was raining and a little above 60 degrees. Then before that it was hot outside. Like 100 degrees for two days!!!! Here is hoping that this weekend is nice enough to go outside to fix up the gardens in the back some more since N's birthday party will be here at the house in the backyard. :-)

Well time to get some laundry done. :-)
