Merry Christmas 2013

 From our family to yours!!

Surgery #2 Dec 3rd 2013 T&A Removal

 Peanut;

After to many antibiotics,breathing treatments,steroids and mommy complaining about your sleep apnea here we are so early in the morning at Sick Kids Hospital at ENT for your Tonsillectomy & Adenoidectomy

 

 

 As you can see you are not thrilled about being woken at 4am, not allowed to have anything to eat or drink and that mommy has requested daddy stick the camera in your face.

 Big big hugs from daddy before you go

 Mommy's fake brave face as I am about to take you into OR and stay with you until you are asleep.

 Time seemed to stop. The longest hr and half.

 Mommy was so thankful to get you back in my arm after the surgery

 Daddy getting his cuddle time with you after surgery

 You came out of surgery like a champ, so full of energy, drinking so well

Yummy Popsicles feel good!

 

 Signing times to help pass the time.

 Look what mommy found in the gift shop!! Your friend Elmo!

And then things started to take a turn, Mommy wishing she could take the pain away

 As the day went on, you started destating

 You all of a sudden were so sick,  like a full on cold, we had to start you on 10L of O2

Sometime after surgery you aspirated Morphine into your lungs.

1 night turned to 2 nights that turned to 3 nights that turned to 4 nights

 You are such a strong, brave boy who truly is and always will be my hero! A few days after being home you got back to being yourself and mommy couldn't have been happier to have you back!

Look what  your sisters Jr. Kindergarten class made for you!!

 How sweet is that!!!

Your brother and sister love you so dearly and really worry about you and are always so ecstatic when they see you for themselves again and see that you are OK.

FEARFULLY & WONDERFULLY MADE BY GOD YOU ARE!!

DSA Week: Day 7- His pride!

Peanut,

Your brother carried his skates laced for you all the way to Sarina for a weekend tournament! The smile and pride he carried when he got on the ice and seeked us out in the stands, giving us his nod and thumbs up!  He dedicated every game to you Peanut, he played his heart out for you. I have never seen the hockey player your brother was that weekend. He scored you 3 goals and guess what... The boys won "A" Champs proudly bringing the "Silver stick" banner home! The love he carries for you is so special. I'm so lucky to have two such awesome boys in my life. This is a Down Syndrome Awareness Week I will never forget!
