Okay, so today is day 8 of our tonsillectomy journey, and we are officially going crazy. It started first thing this morning when Addie woke up crying that she wanted Mina or Haigy. Then she went down the list of all the family asking if they could come over, then she asked for all of [...]

Last Night the kids did really well, slept through the night unless I woke them up for medicine. I tried to give them both regular Tylenol but about 2 hours later they were complaining about their throats, so we went back to the Tylenol with codeine. Addie took a 3 hour nap today and Reed [...]

This morning they woke up around 7am and weren’t complaining about their throats too much. They both sound pitiful and weak and their eyes look like they have been punched- but I think they are doing well. They didn’t wake up at all last night. We woke them up every four hours to give them [...]

#1- Addie woke up at 1:30 am complaining that her throat hurt and she had a 100.3 degree fever. I gave her tylenol and sent her back to bed not sure if they would do the surgery today or not. I wasn’t supposed to give her any medicine or food after midnight- but since I [...]

We will be having the surgery Tuesday morning. They called today and told me that we didn’t have to be there till 8am, which is good because we will not have to wake up early and rush, but that also means the surgery will be later and it will be later before the kids can [...]

Due to the fact that I have felt bad the last three days, I don’t want my poor kids to get strep throat even one more time. I moved up their surgery to get their tonsils out to November 18th at 6:30am. I am very nervous about having two of my kids in surgery at the [...]

Okay, as many of you know- my kids have had strep throat 6 times in the last 6 months. I got it in June and it was horrible- that is why we are getting their tonsils out during Christmas Break. However, I didn’t escape the virus this time. I have strep throat again and it [...]

My daughter is at a funny age right now, she keeps doing things that really crack us all up. For instance:
Saturday night we go to eat supper. I tell all the kids to get their jackets and get in the car. Ryan gets his, Reed get his and Addie goes and gets her Boa, puts [...]

We had a great Halloween Day. Between the two parties at school, Ryan’s speech class, and Addie’s party- I was already worn out before we went trick or treating. However, I pressed on. We went to a nursing home to visit the people who lived there. They were so sweet and loved the kids. On [...]
