Year 2 – Week 34 – Day 2

It is like a cruel merry-go-round this month. Poor little Trevor woke up with a fever, digging in his ear and acting very unhappy.

He just wanted to sit on my lap and cry. They were ok for a while watching youtube videos.

Brendan did pretty well today on his 3L. He needs to keep improving. NO MORE ILLNESS

It was a crazy afternoon. Now that the new office is done, we got another piece of the plan done today. We bought the safe we wanted. Now we have an anti-child place for things that are dangerous, delicate, valuable, or important. Our friend Allen was in from Colorado for a quick visit and stopped to see the boys. He got roped in to helping Bill move a 600lb monster from the truck.

Thank you, Allen!

Spongebob room… that means doctor’s office

Trevor got in to see our regular doctor this time. Being that is was a Friday (ALWAYS), we didn’t waste time and called in to get Trevor seen today.

Temperature check – 103.2 degrees

The doctor thinks the amoxicillin just wasn’t enough to get rid of the infection from last week and he now has a budding ear infection with fluid build up. Now Trevor is on Augmentin and hopefully it will clear up. That explains his mood yesterday!

He thinks he must need suctioning so he turns it on.

Diaper dilemma

A little blast of turbo Brendan, we have been trying to capture his super-fast crawl on video!

There is no night nurse tonight. I sure hope we have done the right thing by moving nursing hours to day shifts. It couldn’t have happened at a more crazy time!

Year 2 – Week 34 – Day 1

There is not much to report today, just more cuteness. We just now turned Brendan to 3L of O2 and so far he is maintaining well, we will see how he does through the night. Recovery is slow going but moving in the right direction.

We tried to play outside today but it got so hot so early.

Brendan just wanted to watch silly youtube videos like kittens meowing

Trevor beat the heat by playing in the sprinkler (first he had to wave at the mailman)

He came in to get cleaned up and I just tried to wash his hands in the sink, he had other plans.

Too big for sink baths

Brendan making silly faces

Stacking/nesting cups are the favorite toy right now, along with the shiny new strings of beads.

Silliness:

It is wonderful to have Gramma here to help, but this week is full of changes and it is exhausting. I hope things settle down for the long hot summer ahead.

Year 2 – Week 33 – Day 7

There are lots of cute pictures today. It was just another busy day.

Trevor started the day with a motorcycle ride

Brendan shows off another cute romper

Trevor was just trying to enjoy his lunch

And then the mustard attacked

“phew, I narrowly escaped!”

Trevor and Gramma had an outing this morning, shopping! Trevor stole Gramma’s drink when she wasn’t looking.

Then he had to go show Brendan his victory

Trevor plays with his new bath bugs

Brendan liked the bugs but not the net to catch them in

Gramma picked out some ultra cute fleece to cover the crib mattress play mat and I was able to sew it up today while Trevor was on his outing. He loved it!

Both boys find it to be a great movie watching spot

Brendan’s numbers are still improving steadily and he is definitely acting more like himself. His new nurses are working out well and Brendan is accepting them so far. I can’t believe Gramma’s visit is half over already. It is going too fast!!
