Food Allergies

Skyler's blood draw.
I did good.
Kaden's blood draw.
He had a rough day.

The boy's had appointments with the Allergist yesterday. Skyler also has the food Allergies like Kaden. The main one is Egg he had a skin test done on his back so we knew right away as he starting to swell up. They both had blood drawn so we are waiting on the test results for that. They were also testing to see if Kaden's immune system was working properly to see if that is what is causing him to be sick all the time. They both have cold induced Asthma.

Kaden is not doing well in Kindergarten. I went up and talked to the teacher yesterday morning and she said he crys alot and that he does not want to do anything. He won't color, write, play with the other kids and he sits during recess. His counselor called me today and we are working with her to try and help him. He crys every morning begging me not to send him to school. Nobody understands what is going on with him as he went to 2 years of preschool and went to Kindergarten Summer School and was fine.

Skyler has a new tooth on the bottom and another one starting. That will give him 4 on top and 4 on bottom once they come through. He is starting to talk more and can say a few more words. He is very smart and even cleans up his toys by himself. He is still against using a sippy cup but with take a sip here and there. He is not walking and refuses to walk while hold your hand as well. I have a feeling he is just going to take off and start walking one day and surprise everyone. He will be turning 1 next Wednesday Sept.3.

Ok Kaden's bus will be here soon so i have to go and see how the rest of his day went.

Kaden's First Day of Kindergarten

Just like Kaden always looking at something else.
I love cantaloupe and watermelon.
I love this stuff. I also had cucumbers and broccoli too.

Kaden woke up Monday morning not feeling so hot but he was determined to go to school on Tuesday for the first day. He woke up still not feeling well but i gave him some motrin and he went to school. He loved it and did end up going to the nurse but not until 2:30 but they ended up sending him back to class. He gets out at 3:45 so he made it just fine. He went this morning feeling a little better so i hope he has a good day.

Skyler has at least one tooth coming in on the bottom and has caught Kaden's cold. He is pretty miserable and did not sleep well last night as he could not breath through his nose much. Today he just has the snot going everywhere. If he gets any worse i will take him into the doctor as he is at risk since he had the RSV so bad after he was born. Both boys will be going on Monday to see the allergist so hopefully we will find out what each one is allergic to.

Pictures from the Past

Just thought i would post some favorites from the past. The boys are both doing ok right now. Kaden had his kindergarten screening today and done great he will start on the 19th.

Skyler

Some of my favorites from Skyler's pictures. I have a link and password for anyone wanting to view all of them. He is doing ok all 4 of his top teeth have come through. Kaden's dental appointment went fine and both him and Skyler will go back in January. Kaden is going this Friday for his Kindergarten Shots i have not told him yet. We also will leave for Tulsa Friday for the weekend.

Update on Boy's

Getting ready to be wheeled back to surgery.
On the way home after picking up Skyler.

Kaden's Surgery went fine. He was very brave and let the nurse take him away to the surgery room in a wagon. He was fine when we left him and they said when he got back there he was great and had no problems. They said when he was waking up from the medicine he was a little more fiery and we witnessed that when we were reunited with him in the recovery room and it last for the next probably 24 hours. He was given the bubble gum mask that he picked and after he was asleep he was given his IV which apparently they had problems getting in cause his left hand has three poke marks and is all bruised and then the one they finally got in his right hand. They also placed the tube through his nose down his throat and into his wind pipe. They were not able to save his tooth in the very back on the bottom left side. She said there was too much movement in it. So once his 6 year molar comes in which she thinks will come early now we will start watching it to make sure and get it pushed back so that there is space for his back tooth which usually does not come in until around 11. To view all the pics of his surgery go to www.myspace.com/kadensmom52503 and click on view pics under my picture.

Skyler had his weight check today and has gained 3/4 of a pound. He is still not on the scales but he is right under the lowest percentile. She was plenty happy with that and as long as he does not start to lose weight again we are fine. She did check his snotty nose he has had for two weeks and said his nasal cavity was swollen so she thinks he has allergies and put him on some medicine that should help him.

Quick update

Just a quick update this evening to let everyone know that Kaden is home and doing well. I actually just got him put down in bed as he was starting to hurt and his throat is sore from the tube they put into his windpipe. I am wiped so will update more with pictures tomorrow.

4th of July

Skyler with Aunt Heather and Aunt Jamie!

Cousin's Pow Wow! Don't you wonder what they are saying?
Skyler loved Coco!
Sparkler's are not for fighting boy's!
I played really hard out at the farm today!

Well the boy's had fun on the 4th of July. Kaden got to play with his cousin's and was so happy about that. He was ready to play with them again the next day. Unfortunately his tooth ended up becoming abscessed on Sat but he got an antibiotic called in and it is doing lots better today. We will be up at the hospital at 7:45 in the morning to get his testing done and then his physical. If every thing checks out then he will have surgery on Thursday at 1:00 p.m.

Skyler is still teething and has a little bit of a cold. He is pulling himself up on everything but has yet to figure out how to get back down, so he just cries until you help him. He will have his check up on his weight next Monday.
