Ear Tubes for Caelum

This morning, bright and early, Caelum and I headed to SAMMC for his second surgery and hopefully last for a long time!! This morning they inserted his first set of eartubes (and hopefully only set!) He was a champ again and did wonderful. The doctor said his ears were both so full of super thick fluid it is no wonder he failed his hearing test a week ago. They did not go too deep to get the thick fluid out so we will most likely see drainage a couple days longer than normal. Poor little guy!! So we pray this is it and he becomes a much happier "camper!" And maybe he will start saying words more now that he can hear!! Here are a few pictures from this morning....unlike his kidney surgery they did not give him an oral sedative on top of IV/inhalation anesthesia because this was a super simple procedure. So with that being said we were afraid he would pitch a fit if they took him from me awake so they allowed me to go in the OR and hold him while he went to "sleep!" That is why I am all garbed in one of the pictures. He came to pretty quickly and of course was a little fireball due to the anesthesia but soon drifted off back to sleep for another 30 minutes in recovery and woke up in a great mood. We got some gatorade and crackers on his belly and he has been happy go lucky since. He has taken 2 naps today but been a happy guy while awake!!
Thanks for all the prayers over the last few months with him!!

New Park

Last weekend I took the boys to a new park...well new to us, thanks to Mrs. Misty. The only thing is that we were not one of the cool people because we did not have a dog.....and that does not mean we are getting one anytime soon either!! It has a pretty big dog park, so there were lots of dogs around and also had some trails and a big open field to run around. The boys loved it and Kerrick thought he was big stuff by climbing up chain ladders and going up the BIG slide!! the best part is that the ground was the rubber ground material, so the falls don't hurt so much!! Here are several pictures from last Saturday!!

Last day of Baseball

Last Saturday was Kerrick's last day of baseball for this "season." Although it was just usually him in his class I think he had fun for the most part. And Coach Derrick was awesome and VERY patient. Hopefully we can sign him up for another season whether it is baseball or another sport. Here are a few pictures from last Saturday. At the end of every session he got stamps on his hand and at the end of the season he got a medal. He was not too crazy of the medal at very first, but was oh so excited to go show DaDa and Caelum and show his friends at church that night.

Easter Pics

Here are a few pictures from Easter. We went to Brad and Kelly's house and Jason's parents and Kelly's parents were there as well. It was fun times and the boys sure were oh so tired.
