+ Tubes - adenoids = no more drugs

Took the kid in this morning to get some things moved around. Showed up at 7:30 (no food since 10 and no drinks since 5am). He came out of anesthesia as he had last time: angry. Thrashing, kicking, scratching, crying. Wanting the IV out. Miserable guy. Finally calms down, then is ok enough to get home.

At home he just is exhausted. So as we read books he then proceeds to throw up nastiness all over me, he chair, the floor and his whole body.

Done with that, we both took a long nap. He woke up in good spirits and feeling much much better.

He went on drugs Thursday for a "very minor" infection in one ear, and today had two "very nasty ear infections."

In other words, the THIRD DRUG RESISTANT EAR INFECTION.

Friday Fun

Never thought I would spend my Friday at an auction house. Lol. Was so much fun. Yay for self care!

Love Siblings

There's a lot to be said for siblings...

Don't get me wrong, they hit each other, too.

Sunday Morning Cartoons

We have started a Sunday morning cartoon tradition. It allows the grownups to sneak a few (well, one) more hours sleep.

This morning I was dozing on the couch with Jacob whole Paul slept in and Jacob looks at the picture and says, "Thomas sad, Thomas sad."

Geesh. This kid is going to be a great boyfriend someday.

He has just started using phrases at almost 20 months. If this is what we have pre-tubes we are going to have a chatterbox in a few weeks.

This morning we woke up and he sees Kate is missing and asks "where Kate?"

My current favorite thing about this helper is his tendency to like things tidy. As I am trying he found some trash which his now is throwing away.

Did I mention he is going to be an awesome boyfriend?
