Hooky

Does Kaden not look mischievous?

Skyler is still trying to have that one tooth come through and it is really hurting him. He is still running a slight temp so hopefully it will be better soon.

Kaden has been having fun at summer school but played hooky last Friday. Tommy was put on crutches for his ankle so he was out of work Friday. Well Kaden was fine and went to school but about an hour and half later the school called. Saying he was not feeling well and did not want to talk or play just lay around. So i went to get him and he perked right up when he saw me. We were walking outside and he said his stomach was hurting cause he missed daddy and wanted to spend some time with him. Then when i was getting him in his booster seat he asked to go to Burger King. Of course i said no you are sick remember. But he said he was feeling better. He did not get anything but his lunch out of his lunch box.

On my front they are going to schedule me for a sonogram on my kidney as they think there may be a stone or stones lodged in there causing swelling and pain in my lower back.

Teeth

How cute am i?
You can see his nose a little bit, these are some things he made at school today.

Kaden is doing ok right now. He is having some pain in his teeth but nothing to bad yet. He fell getting on the school bus to come home the other day and scraped up his nose. He is liking summer school which is good , then it will not be so hard to get ready for kindergarten. He only has 10 days left of summer school so i will be glad for a break before he starts school again.

Skyler has been pretty cranky every day and running a slight fever all week. I am pretty positive it is due to his teething. His two teeth on top that have been trying to come in for over a month are finally stating to break skin. Hopefully once they come on through then maybe he will be feeling better.

There is not to much else going on other than i am having lots of back pain and Tommy twisted his ankle at work today.

Surgery

This was taken with my phone the week Skyler came home from the hospital.

Kaden will be having surgery on July 10th at Children's Mercy. He done great at the dentist today but they have a lot of stuff to fix. They think instead of making him come back for at least 5 visits then they will just put him to sleep and do everything in one day. One major thing that will be happening is he will be losing his two front teeth. One because of the cavity in between them and two because of the trauma caused to them when he was little and fell and chipped one. He does not know this yet there will also be a lot of other stuff they will be doing to him. We will explain everything to him when the time is closer. He will go for pre-op testing on July 8th and for his physical he has to have before they will do the surgery.

Skyler is still only taking in about 24 ounces of formula a day but we are working with him. We will see what happens when we go for his check up.

9 Month Check Up

I like eating, why i am not gaining weight who knows?
Can we help you on the farm papa?
Papa and Mimi here i come.

Kaden is doing fine in school and had a good note sent home on Friday. He goes to the dentist Friday morning. He is still saying he won't let them look at his teeth but we'll see.

Skyler had his 9 month check up yesterday afternoon. For some reason he is not gaining weight and has lost more weight again. He was down in weight the last time we went when he had ear infections last month. He is only taking in about 24 ounces of formula a day and he should be getting in 45 ounces for his age and height. They are trying to up the amount he is getting and how many times a day he has a bottle to get more calories in him. Although we will have to see cause when we went up in the amount in a bottle before he would always puke it up so they had us go back down. She is wanting me to bring him back for a weight check in a month instead of weighting for his 1 year check up. If he does not gain any weight or he loses more then she is going to send us to the failure to thrive clinic to find out what is going on with him. So lets all say a prayer that we are able to get him to be able to take in more formula and gain some weight. The only other concern was the fact that he is not crawling yet and can scoot himself around on his stomach with pushing with his feet but is unable to get up on his knees yet. He also should be able to stand holding on the couch by himself but he is not. So she wants us to only let him in his walker for 15 minutes a day and give him as much tummy time as he will take.

So that is it for now i am praying that the dentist goes smoothly for Kaden and that Skyler will continue to improve with his weight and crawling.

Summer School and Mama

Kaden started Kindergarten Camp Summer School Monday and had a rough day. At lunch they would not allow him to have ketchup cause they thought it was on his list for food allergies, he fell on the steps on the playground and has a fat lip that is black and blue and he also got on the wrong bus and had to get taken back to the school. He made it home on the right bus yesterday and rode the bus to school this morning. He keeps worrying that he is going to get lost again, so i have to keep reassuring him that it will be ok. His teeth have really been hurting him lately so it is a good thing that he has an appointment next week for the dentist. If he will cooperate then they will take care if his cavities that day but if not and depending on what they have to do then they may schedule him for a O.R at the hospital and do it then on another day. Hopefully we do not have to go that route but if we do i can understand that he is scared.

On the Skyler front he is doing really well, his teeth have still not broke through but i can see that they are ready to push on through. So he is still hurting and a little cranky. He has his 9 month check up on Monday which means more shots. And he goes back to the eye doctor on July 2nd. A big milestone was this morning when he said mama to me. I was so excited to hear him say it after i did. It was so cute but of course he has not said it again after those two times. We went to eat on Sunday and he broke out again, not sure what caused it this time. I am trying to get him into the Allergist so that we can try and figure how bad and what he is allergic to. I really thought he was not going to have the food allergies like Kaden but i am not so sure that is going to happen since this is the 3rd time he has broken out.
