Kylan-The Monkey

Kylan is doing alot better!! Saturday, he was still a little cranky like his ears were sore. He had his good moments and his bad moments. On Sunday, he was FULL FORCE!!!! We did our Sunday ritual of going to IHOP and Granna, Pappy, Tay-Tay, Granny and PawPaw were there so we ate with them. Kylan sat in between Pappy and PawPaw. He had everyone laughing. He was sitting on the bench like a big boy throughout the whole meal. He was sooooo animated. He kept looking out the window, seeing the cars go by on the highway and saying "caws" which means cars. He's just in the best of moods now. Last night, he didn't want to go to bed worth anything. Maybe he's actually starting to feel good and he's just wanting to stay up all the time now. But we know, he needs his sleep so we all can stay sane! Anyway, after his bath time, I was putting lotion on him and he was just singing away. I was hoping Scott would hear him and try to get a little video of him but he decided he needed to stop singing. I just wanted to update everyone on how our little monkey was doing! I hope to be taking some pictures of him and hopefully get a video of our little singer!

Happy Juice Video

Here is the happy juice video that I was trying to upload. He is such a silly goose. Notice that he is acting drunk and he's looking at his hand like he's got 10 fingers!! Then he starts trying to take off his gown!! LOL

Happy Juice, Sillyness, and Doors

Well, today was the day Kylan got his tubes in his ears!! It's been a very exhausting day. We got up at 4:15 to leave for the hospital by 4:45 in Frisco. Everything went great! It went so fast we didn't have time to finish making our coffee! He was VERY cranky in the recovery room but came out of it for the most part about 45 minutes later. Dr. Skiles said he did great but he still had a little bit of infection in both ears.He sat in the anesthesiologist's lap and took the strawberry flavored gas and he fell fast asleep. He drained quite a bit of fluid from his ears so hopefully the infection will clear up pretty fast since he is still on antibiotics. Anyway, we got home and he stayed up for a little while, while daddy took mommy's car to get the oil changed and get a haircut. I finally put him to sleep because he just couldn't walk hardly. He slept for about and hour and a half and that was it for the rest of the day. Which made for a very long day. He has some visitors to wish him well so he got some balloons, a ball, a tractor, and a Valentines puppy that sings and his ears flap up and down. He would cranky one minute then happy the next and wouldn't even sleep for 30 minutes in the afternoon. Anyway, it's 7:40 and he's in bed and we are happy to just get to relax. I put some pictures below and a video of him being silly on his "happy juice"!

This is when he had his double ear infections:

He never sleeps on the couch so we knew he was miserable:

On the way to the hospital! Very Early!!!

Making friends like usual:

Oh the "happy juice" has kicked in:

My little cutie:

Love his lashes:

After we left. He was sooooo cranky, which is normal coming out of the anesthesia:

All red from crying:

Getting better:

Oh, and here is the picture of Kylan when he got in a fight with the corner of the door. It busted both lips and a line is down the middle of his face. Poor thing! Let's just say the door won!! :-(

Hopefully tomorrow he will be a better mood and ready to run around like he used to. I will upload the video that we took of Kylan on his "happy juice" tomorrow. For some reason it's not letting me do it!! :-(

Talk to y'all soon!

Wish I was blessed with a natural good looking body!

Well, I am starting back on my cereal diet! Seemed like the only thing that really worked. I lost around 20 lbs last year so I am hoping that I can get a few more lbs off with it again. I want to go on a good vacation this summer and I refuse to go out there looking like a whale!! I know I know, some people say that I look good but I feel like I look awful, cellulite on my legs, muffin top, etc!! I am sitting at my desk, trying to convince myself that this cereal is MMM MMM MMM but it's not really working! Oh the things women go thru just to look good. I just wish I was one of those type people that can look good before they get pregnant and then just bounce right back to that same body after pregnancy! No such luck here. Just feeling a little down on myself so I had to get this off my chest! :-( Soon enough, I will be ordering my 2 piece bathing suit out of Victoria's Secret catalog just like I used to do and I will be prancing around the beach, pool, and lake looking good in it!! :-) Wish me luck!

Tubes are a go!

Well, we went to Dr. Skiles yesterday afternoon and the tubes are a go! He thinks it would be best to go ahead and get them since he's becoming immune to almost every antibiotic there is. That's the last thing we want because if something really bad happens and he needs antibiotic, he's going to be immune and it won't do any good. I feel really good about this, nervous but good. I am nervous about seeing him put into anesthesia. I have full confidence in this doctor because he's worked on my 2 nieces and nephew and they are great but I guess it's just a parent thing about being nervous. We have to be in Frisco at 6:00 a.m. so that means we are going to have to leave about 4:30 or 4:45! Whew, that's early. I am just debating if maybe we should stay in Frisco or somewhere close so he can sleep as long as he can. I'm afraid that if we wake him that early, he may not want to go back to sleep and then he's going to want his sippy cup and "bites" and we can't give him any. That's going to break my heart because he doesn't understand! Maybe I can find somewhere cheap but nice to stay in for Thursday night.

Anyway, when we went to the doctor yesterday, Kylan was showing off for everyone. We were walking down the hall and he would see a stranger, he would say "Ello!" He tried to make friends with another girl, who was about 5 or 6, in the waiting room but she didn't want to share her (or the Dr's office) Lego's but he kept trying to play with her. I felt so bad! So the nurse went ahead and called us back to do the hearing test again and he LOVED her. She sat us in this vault like room with speakers on 2 opposite corners. A stuffed puppy was on one speaker and a kitty on the other. She would talk to him from the other room (we could see her through the glass window) and make puppy and kitty noises. At first, he looked in the direction of the noise then he realized she was making the noise!! LOL She said boys tend to figure that it's her out fast. Next, we went to see Dr. Skiles and he just loves Dr. Skiles. He's so good for him. He lets him look in his ears and listen to his chest without making a fuss. Dr. Skiles was explaining the process to me and Scott put Kylan in the patient chair. Kylan kept leaning forward in the chair because Dr. Skiles back was to him. He kept leaning forward to get his attention and once he had it, he had the biggest smile on his face. The doctor would turn away again and Kylan did the same thing until he got his attention. It was sooooooo cute and I wish I had a camera to get a picture of it. He kept stepping between the cabinets and the wall playing "Where's Kylan". Funny things is he would leave his leg hanging out so we could see him the whole time. He would hide, then step out and say "boo!" He definitely made friends with him!!

I will post some pictures soon of him. I have to load them on the computer from the camera.

Talk to y'all later!

Yay, no RSV!

Dr. called and thank God Kylan doesn't have RSV! We still need to go to Dr. Skiles tomorrow so we are going to talk to him and see if we can go thru with things since he's on albuterol. We will see! Just wanted to keep y'all up to date. :-)

A little luck would be GREAT!

Boy, have we had a rough past week! Kylan went to the Dr. with an ear infection and cold, I came down with the same cold so I was feeling bad, and now, Scott has the same thing only his is worse! He has an appointment today at 2:00 for his. Kylan went back at 9:30 for a checkup on his ears and what does the Dr. say, he is wheezing so he needs to go to the hospital for an RSV test. He said he doesn't think he has it but he would rather be safe than sorry. Now, we have an appointment tomorrow to go see Dr. Skiles in Frisco for his ears. If Dr. Skiles was to say that he needs to go ahead and get tubes (which is very likely since we all were waiting for the next ear infection) than we were to go in on Friday to get them done. Well, if he has RSV, we can't get that done until he is all better. Well, we had to rush and do the tubes thing because Scott's insurance runs out on the 31st. Oh, timing is just awful right now! I try to keep positive through everything but it just seems like it's getting worse! I just had to vent and get that off my chest. I will keep everyone updated when I get word.
