Back Home

Playing together at Grandma and Grandpa's
Kaden is looking in this picture, Skyler was looking in the other.

We are back from Tulsa we got back Sunday Evening. Kaden had a doctor's appointment Monday morning and they have changed his medicine. So i guess we will see what happens. He did have an Awesome day at school yesterday and stayed out of trouble. He went to the sitter's this morning so that she could get him on the bus as Skyler was the one with a doctor's appointment. He went to the eye clinic up at Children's Mercy. They said he is extremely farsighted. People that are farsighted have perfect vision they just have trouble focusing on things. Which causes strain on his eyes every time he tries to focus. The doctor said that this is the reason his eye keeps crossing. We are going back in two months to check it again and if the farsightedness is worse or his crossing then he will have to be put in glasses probably until he is about 8 or 9. Because his eye is only crossing sporadically throughout the day he wanted to hold off putting him in glasses as 1) we would be committing him to wearing them until he is 8 or 9 and 2) it would be really hard for a 8 month old to keep glasses on. So we are just waiting and seeing what happens hopefully things stay the same or get better and then we will not have to worry about glasses for now.

In Tulsa

Kaden passed out on Skyler's seat.
Both the boys are sound asleep on the way.
Asleep but not going to let his bottle go.
Kaden so tired.

Everyone is doing fine right now. The boy's are feeling pretty well. Skyler is getting another tooth in. We are in Tulsa right now just taking it easy. Will update more in a few days.

And the Winning Illness Is....

Still manages to smile even though he feels horrible.
He said i needed to take a picture of his neck so everyone could see it hurts.
Skyler playing happily on the floor, he is so happy he can sit by himself.

Kaden has severe Strep Throat. His glands are pretty swollen and you can tell just by looking at his neck. His neck hurts so bad that you would think he hurt in a accident. He is moving around like he has a neck brace on. Hopefully he will start feeling better soon, his temp is higher this evening than it has been the past two days. So it should be a fun next couple of days.

Have not gotten the results of Skyler's throat culture they sent off.

Sick Again

Look at those red cheeks.
Kaden sleeping he does not feel good.

Ok well the boys are not doing so well anymore. I took Skyler to his doctor's this morning only to find out his throat was pretty red and they ran a strep test. The quick test which only takes five minutes was negative but they wanted to send it off to double check as she was concerned with the way his throat looked. She is giving us a new medicine for his eczema which is a compound of two different medicines. But she is also going to get him an appointment with the dermatologist. Since we can not seem to get his eczema under control. Skyler started sitting up by himself today.

As far as Kaden he woke up this morning complaining about different aches and pains. He said his head hurt, his knees and legs hurt his elbow hurt and so on. He wanted some Tylenol so i gave him some and he seemed fine. I just figured it was growing pains. I picked him up at school and he had a pretty good day and he seemed to be doing ok. After we had been at home a little while he started looking pale and complaining of his head, eyes, neck throat and ears hurting. So i took his temp after giving him some more Tylenol and it was 101.7. Of course it was like 4:45pm so i could not get him in to the doctor's. So i will see how he is in the morning and call them then. He is wanting to go to school to take his friend Nadia a flower. So cute he is sick and he is worried about giving a flower to a friend.

Hi to all

Kaden outside reading the paper, he said he needed to.
Look at my teeth!
Playing together.

The boys are still doing pretty good. Skyler has a doctor's appointment in the morning, as the cream for his face is not working. It looks as if Kaden will end up having to do a sleep study as his new medicine is not working as it should. I will find out more at his Doctor's appointment at the end of the month. Skyler can walk a little bit in his walker but is not to interested in the crawling. Who knows maybe he will not crawl at all and just start walking.

Skyler

The boy's are both doing fine. Skyler now has two teeth and i think one more is trying to come in. Kaden slept through the night for the first time last night. I hope that it will continue and will not just be a one time thing. It would be so nice to not have to get up several times a night with him. Skyler has been rolling over a lot more now and when he is in his crib and rolls over to his stomach he gets so mad and lets you know about it. Last night when i checked on him before i went to bed he had rolled over to his stomach and was sound asleep with his two fingers in his mouth. He was sleeping good and he was not covered or anything so that he would not be able to breath, so i just left him and checked on him again a little later. He had not moved. Well when he woke up this morning and he was on his stomach he started screaming and he was so mad. Nothing much else going on right now.
