Benny's Tubes

Hi everyone,

Benny had his tubes put in yesterday, and he did so well!! The whole procedure only took about 10 mins, he was a little crabby from the anesthesia, but once we got him a bottle and a nap at home, he was as happy as a clam.

The funniest part was that he was "talking" up a storm yesterday afternoon - the doctor said he might as his ears were full of thick fluid and he probably couldn't hear himself very well.

Everyone at Banner Childrens Surgery Center were wonderful and here's hoping that Ben doesn't have another ear infection again for a very long time!!! Below is a picture from the pre-surgery waiting room and I will be posting a post surgery picture this afternoon!

Busy, Busy, Busy

Hi Everyone!

So it's been a busy few weeks and it's going to get even busier!!!

News on Toph

Toph goes to Banner Children's Hospital for a hearing test on Thursday - just to rule out any hearing loss - then he meets with a speech Pathologist on the 26th of this month. We are hoping that a little speech therapy will help him annunciate better - he is quite the talker, just needs a little help is all!! Toph is growing like a week and is becoming more and more independent (sniff). Still and will always be my little sweetie pie!!


News on Benny

Ben is doing much better after another double ear infection and antibiotic shots, but the doctors decided it was time for tubes, so Ben is scheduled to get his tubes on Wednesday, February 20th. The tubes are said to make a huge difference - and we hope that he will be feeling GREAT soon!!! Ben is also crawling all over the place, and he would sooo love to walk if he could! We think his first teeth might be coming through (hopefully) soon! He is sooo funny and LOVES to be held and cuddled, he crawls around after you and makes all sorts of noise if you don't pick him up right away!

News on Cousin Maddie Mouse

Maddie is still a little button - she is just now getting into size 1 diapers, but is filling out and is SOOOOOO adorable. She is starting to smile and interact, it is soo much fun to see. She is starting to get into a routine, she loves her glider/rocker, car rides and stroller rides, and will be starting at Triple R Childcare with the boys pretty soon!!!

Lisa, Maddie, Ben, Toph and I went out "shopping" on Saturday and had lot's of fun, I took some adorable pictures, Toph was being camera shy - totally not like him, we will get more of him next time - take a look - pictures not working - will repost!
