Poor Owen. Looks nasty, huh? Our first rainy day in a long while caused us to pull out the raincoats yesterday. Owen is obsessed with putting his hands in his pockets when he walks, thus preventing him from catching himself when he tripped going up the slippery steps outside of church last night. It was [...]

Let me set the stage. I’m in the kitchen doing some surprise stuff for Travis’ 30th birthday tomorrow. Owen and Molly are happily playing in his bedroom…until I hear a horribly loud crash and a blood curdling scream. I race into the bedroom and here’s what I saw…well, part of it. The drawer to the [...]
fully recovered and better than ever!

We are so thankful for all of the prayers for Owen’s surgery/recovery. We definitely felt them as we dealt with two rough weeks, but Owen is FINALLY recovered and better than ever! We went back to the ENT on Thursday for a surgical follow-up appointment. The nurse practitioner took one look at his throat, said [...]
the last few days

If I had to use one word to describe the recovery from a tonsilectomy…horrible. I know it could be worse. We could have been readmitted to the hospital because of dehydration, bleeding, etc. We are still home, and for that we are thankful. But there’s just not anything about this experience that has been fun. [...]

Owen’s surgery was this morning, and it went very well! Thank you to everyone out there who has been praying for Owen. We really appreciate all the prayers and kind words you’ve been sending our way. Here’s a recap of our day… We arrived at the surgery center promptly at 6. They got us all checked [...]

We’ll be up and at the surgery center WAY too early. 6am is our scheduled arrival time and the surgery is set for 7. It’s supposed to take 45 minutes for surgery, and then he’ll be in recovery for at least 2 hours. Then they’re sending us home. Scary. I like the idea of having nurses [...]
one thing molly didn’t get for her birthday…

…because she no longer spits up! It took 11 1/2 LONG months, but I can finally say that the reflux is gone. It took me a while to want to do this post because I was sure that the second I did it, she’d start spewing again. But she’s officially off her medicine and we [...]
goodbye tonsils!

Some of you may remember when Owen had his adenoids removed. If you don’t and want to know about it, check out this post. Anyway, he’s continued to have LOTS of sinus issues. From continued sinus infections, to strep throat, to tonsilitis…the kid gets it all. The doctor has always commented on the size of Owen’s tonsils…I [...]
first trip to the dentist

Last week I took Owen to the dentist for the first time. It went much better than I expected. Owen’s not fan of people poking around in his mouth…but then who really is?? I thought his first visit could go one of two ways…he’d either freak out and not let them anywhere near his mouth, [...]
friends…and an update

Just a quick picture of Owen and his BFF, Ella. It’s fun to look back at pictures from healthier times when we could actually leave the house… Update on our swine flu baby…Molly woke up today without a fever!! It broke late yesterday afternoon and hasn’t returned. She still didn’t sleep very well last night. [...]
