Surgery!

Our little man is having surgery February 16.
We had an appointment with a new ENT this morning for the second opinion and fell in love with this doctor. He explained everything and kept asking if we have questions and really took his time with John. So here is the deal... John has large tonsils, on a scale from 1 to 4 he is a 3 1/2. The doctor said that John has Darth Vader breathing and definitely has an obstruction and the best solution is to get his tonsils out. As well we will be getting his adenoids out because the grow congruently with the tonsils. They also checked his hearing and he passed but has some issues with pressure in both ears. It is like he can not pop his ears on a plane ride. So that can be an issue with how he is hearing his words. Getting his adenoids out should help this issue and if down the line when we check his hearing again we will see if the pressure is gone and if not we might look into ear tubes.

ENT Update

Brian and I took John to the ENT today and he was such a CHAMP! Never cried and sat still for the doctor to examine him (it's a first). The doc said that his mouth is small so everything is closer together and his tonsils are a little inflamed. She said he should not be snoring the way he does or waking up at night the way he does. She recommended a sleep study and then a review of the results and scheduling an appointment to get his tonsils and adenoids removed. It is a lot to take in and we will be doing some research but we think John is headed to surgery!

We will be getting a second opinion just to be on the safe side.

Some photo's

I have been trying to take some more pictures lately because I have been forgetting to take my camera with me so I don't have a lot of January pictures.

My boys!!! Washing momma's car and getting REALLY REALLY wet!

Early Valentines Gift

They love it!

They are really into watching home videos or looking at pictures on the computer!

On a side note, my brother and sister-in-law bought Brian a beer making kit for Christmas... here it is!

I have baby fever.... I don't know why, well actually I do. I have friends pregnant, just had babies, or even trying. I guess it is rubbing off! I just want a little girl. I know it will pass but I had to say it

ENT

This coming Wednesday I am taking my little man John to see an ENT. For the longest time now he has been snoring and I mean SNORING! You can hear him through the monitor even when it is on its lowest setting. He is also having a lot of interrupted sleep, I don't think the snoring has anything to do with it but you never know till you find out. I have been worried about this for awhile now but didn't see any sign of sleep apnea so I did not really want to deal with taking him to the doctor. Well since ECI came out and told me how hearing, speech, all that stuff in your head is all connected I decided to go ahead and make the appointment. I truly think everything is fine and this appointment will only confirm my thoughts but if not I would rather get things fixed now so John can be a happy little man!

ABC

I decided to see if Brandon could say his ABC's. We think he said more than 50% of the letters. Sorry for the dark video but it was right before bed time and the lights were off and John was watching his video, which you can hear in the background!
