Learning how to blog

So I am still learning how to edit and post my blogs. I thought I had put my posts in certain order, but I was wrong. My posts will make a lot more sense if you start with my picture and work your way up. Sorry. I will get better.

Breaking all the Rules

The boys enjoyed a wagonride to the car. We even got a visit from our friend Charisse Stewart, who is a nurse and PCMC, and happened to be on shift today. The afternoon at home was actually pretty relaxing. Sam played with his Jedi toys all afternoon while watching Superhero cartoons with dad. Both kids enjoyed the laxity in rules, such as having the binky out of the crib, toys at the table, and all the juice they requested. Doctor Tagge is an awesome ENT. We recommend him to everyone. He had a great bedside manner with the kids and very approachable and informative to us. He said we will probably see two very different kids. There was quite a bit of fluid and pressure in the ears, causing much discomfort. It was so gratifying to practically whisper to Sam from across the room and have him look up and respond. Our volume of communication had been so loud lately because he could not hear very well.

Cannon Moseley Jardine-AKA "Mo"

Mo went first. He got a wagon ride back to the OR by the Anaesthesiologist. All was going well with the separation until they encountered the therapy dog. Mo is very afraid of dogs and started to look back at us and cry. The child life specialist said he calmed down quickly once safely away from the dog in the OR. Both kids were pretty rattled coming out of the anaesthia, especially because mom and dad were no where to be found. After the help of grape popcicles, apple juice, and of course morphine, both boys calmed down and transitioned to the recovery room well. It was funny to see Mo looped out on the morphine; he kept pointing at Sesame street holding the remote control and giggling.

Brave Toys

Sam was so brave the whole time. We gave him some Jedi toys to help him be brave (he calls them his brave toys). The child life specialist came out to prepare Sam for the procedure. He got this doll to color and practice on. When the doctor came out Sam jumped right up into his arms and went back with the team. The child life specialist came out after Sam was put under and commented on what a great team of docs we had. Apparently the ENT and Anaesthesiologist were flying speeder bikes around and entertaining Sam while he was getting the gas to fall asleep.

Tubes for Two!!

After 5 consecutive months of ear infections we decided to see the ENT doc. He said all four ears look terrible and recommended tubes in and adenoids out. He said to do both boys at the same time. (He once did a family of 5 kids all on the same day.) This morning we took both boys up to Primary Children's Hospital. Let me tell you having a kid with three last names who goes by a nickname is very confusing for all involved in the same-day surgery process. Adding one more kid with the same last name, well its no wonder they labeled us all like this.
