Nice Weather

The boy's enjoyed the nice weather today playing outside with their water table

Had to bring his car seat inside to clean it and he wanted to try it after it was done

Trying to get a good picture of the boy's together for Aunt Tia but they were not cooperating

Well most of you know by now that after two trips to the doctors last week Kaden has pneumonia again. We did find out that he has an Iga deficiency immune disorder which is why he keeps getting so sick. Unfortunately there is no cure for it and nothing you can do to protect him from getting so sick all the time. We did get good news today that they will be taking his tonsils and adenoids out in July. He is looking forward to playing more T-ball and our upcoming trip to Tulsa.

Skyler

Just love this picture of Skyler he is such a cutie!

Kaden's Hospital Stay

This was still in the ER hours after waiting and just got the iv in for the second time, first one the vein blew right after getting it in

Settled in the room early the next morning

sleeping and clutching the reward he picked for getting another blood draw done

not feeling too good

wants to go home but is still too sick

Before we got discharged Kaden finally trying to have a little fun


As most people know by now Kaden was in the hospital for three days with Pneumonia and what everyone thought was the flu but turned out to be some nasty bug with flu symptoms. He started not feeling well Saturday and by Sunday morning was awful and just crying in pain so i took him into the ER only to be sent home after 3 hours. After we got home he continued to get worse and by Monday could not even sit up or walk as he was in so much pain and very sick. So i called and they had me bring him back in and after the first doc was just going to send us home again his supervisor came in and after taking one look at Kaden knew things were not right. She ordered all the appropriate tests and xrays and said he was not leaving he needed to be admitted. As she put it he is one very sick little boy. His heart rate was high and his pulse rate was high as was his white count which ended up being even higher the next day and his temp was 103.8. He was started on iv fluids as he was not able to eat or drink and keep it down, two iv antibiotics and tamiflu. We were put in a room on 6 Henson and he was under partial isolation which meant he could not go to the play room or anything and people could only come in if they wore a mask. He also was on a liquid/clear diet only, which he complained about after a day but then once he was cleared to eat he didn't want it after he ordered it anyways. We were discharged Wednesday afternoon and he is doing better now still not feeling 100% but better and went back to school like he wanted. He was really upset as Monday there was a field trip and since he was so sick he had to miss it. He told me that some of the kids at school were actually making fun of him because he missed it which i thought was horrible. Hopefully he is on the mend and we wont have to go through that again.

Kaden's School Injury

This would be the result of a little boy in Kaden's class deciding that he would shove Kaden into one of those big wooden railroad ties on the playground. Luckily he didn't get hurt any worse than this cause it could have been really bad!

Couple of pics

I just love this pic of Kaden

He likes to multi-task color and eating lunch at the same time

Update

Poor Skyler and his reaction to nuts, his lip was huge after i took this pic and notice the redness around his face

This is from a little while back but i love his grin

Back when Kaden was sick in December i think and had also hurt his finger which is why they taped it

He has not been letting me take pics here lately so i had to pull out a couple of older ones to post

Everything is going okay right now both boys are healthy right now and Kaden's parent/teacher conference went really well. He was only below average in one thing and doing so much better than he was months ago. His teacher had a baby and so he has a sub teacher. She remembers him from last year and how much he struggled every day. She can not believe that this is the same Kaden. He came home on Wednesday and was chosen as outstanding music student for the week! He is so excited cause he got his picture taken and a certificate posted in the school, gets to pick a dessert of his choice and gets to have lunch with his teacher next week.

Sickness

Skyler fell asleep shortly after they got the 6th iv to work

After they got it in he was not amused

This was the first one after it blew

Not feeling well at all

Fell asleep waiting for the docs to come in

His body finally gave out and he got a little rest

Relaxing on the couch while sick

First night of being really sick


As most people know Skyler was pretty sick for about two weeks but is finally feeling better. He did have to go and get IV fluids as he went for almost 7 days with no food by mouth and only a few sips to drink here and there. Unfortunately the first 5 tries blew and on the 6th one it finally worked. After the first 3 blew they had someone come up from a different clinic with a doppler and using a bigger needle. Of course Kaden caught strep right before Skyler got sick so we had fun around here and he missed a whole week of school. Thankfully we finally got the ok to go and see ENT about getting his tonsils removed but we do not go there until the end of March.
