a day out with thomas

Here are random pictures from the last two months of things we had going on that I had not gotten around to uploading. (Or that blogger, our computer, or my husband had KEPT me from uploading!) Hopefully I'll do better once school gets out in a couple of weeks!

more sickness

The cough and runny nose only got worse, so we ended back up at Dr. Frank's on Monday. Naturally, we're on another round of antibiotics to clear up another sinus infection. Then, yesterday afternoon, the daycare director came down to my classroom to let me know that Turner had the stomach virus and needed to go home. So, I had to stay out today with him. In other words, nothing new to report, just the same ole stuff that happens over, and over, and over.....

I gave up

I really have tried uploading pics from Mardi Gras/Bday, etc on here. But our wireless connection upstairs keeps acting crazy, and after an hour of unsuccessful attempts with blogger, I gave up.

We went to see the pediatrician today for our 2 year wellness checkup. Turner only had to get 1 shot today. Of course, after finishing off a round of antibiotics for a sinus infection, he started coughing again last night. Dr. S. said everything looked and sounded fine, so I won't stress about another illness yet.

This weekend we'll get to go to the beach for the end of spring break. It'll be nice to enjoy a few days of my vacation before heading back to school next week.

Maybe one day I'll try again with the pics.

Yep, another sinus infection

Turner went back to the ENT yesterday for his follow up after surgery. Guess what? He has another sinus infection! wow! So, he's on yet another round of antibiotics. All that money for surgery and so far it hasn't done any good. We'll have to follow up with the ENT in 6 months, but at this rate, I'm sure we'll make it back in there before then!

Mardi Gras/2nd Bday

Since we were constructing a float for the CPS Mardi Gras Parade, we decided we might as well use it twice, so we entered our wagon in the Tville parade. I'm getting too old to pull a 40 lb toddler that entire route around town. He made it on the front page of the paper at least--wonder how that happened?? lol Turner won 2nd place in the school's decorating contest. We keep getting beat by girls! I know Arthur took pictures, but I can't find them saved on the computer, so I'll have to upload them later.

Turner had his birthday party Saturday, after celebrating his 2nd bday Wednesday. Of course, we took cupcakes to school on his birthday, and he wore a Thomas the Train bday badge. They even released balloons at school that day, but it was in honor of Dr. Seuss! I took the train theme to the extremes Saturday, but I think it all turned out pretty well. As usual, he got way too much stuff! Again, there should be pictures up eventually, but I felt like I needed to blog something.

Wednesday, we follow up with the ENT after our surgery a few weeks ago. Allergy tests came back with a report of there's nothing to be concerned about, so I guess that's good. I hate that we paid almost $600 to hear there's nothing wrong, but at least we know. We go to the pediatrician in a few weeks for our 2 year immunizations and wellness check up.

I went back to Dr. G last month for another check up since my biopsy in July. He said if I didn't hear back from him, everything was normal. Since it's been almost a month now and I haven't heard anything, I'm assuming everything's ok. I'll go back in July and if it comes back normal, I can go back to yearly visits.

Ok, I think that's all for now!

surgery went fine

From the way the little man is acting right now, you would never guess he had a surgery done today. We went down last night and spent the night with Arthur's mom. We could have had a better night of rest with him in his own bed now, but we encountered a few obstacles in the wee hours of the morning. We made it to Surgicare without any meltdowns for snacks or something to eat. Arthur complained more about being hungry than Turner did. He fussed a few times during pre-op but didn't put on a show like some of the other kids. They coerced him with Thomas stickers back to the OR. I held it together better than I thought I would. I read a chapter in a book to keep me preoccupied during the surgery. Dr. Wilson came to tell us everything went well and then I got fidgety waiting on the nurse to tell us to come back to recovery. I heard his cry and knew it from the others just as the nurse called us. He napped for the first hour in recovery. Once he woke up from that he was fine. The nurses bragged on how good he was. We stopped at Chick-Fil-A and Arthur and I ordered a combo but didn't order Turner anything. I didn't think he would feel like eating a meal so soon. The boy ate my entire order of waffle fries!!! And I don't think he's stopped eating all day. He has acted fine at home so far. A little drunk or drugged some times, but definitely more hyper than I expected him to be! Hopefully it will be a quick recovery and things will be better for him from now on!
