Year 2 – Week 33 – Day 6

Tuesdays used to be a lot crazier. We are still waiting for Brendan’s therapies to resume, we have a meeting next Wednesday with his new team leader.

Dr. Trevor was checking himself out this morning. Temperature, check. Pulse-ox, check.

I ordered some work boots for both boys for the fall because they were on a killer sale. Trevor tried his on. At first, he was unimpressed.

After clomping around in them a while, he decided he liked them

It was another day of “Inventory Undo”. We took all the toys out and found all the pieces for everything except for the letter U. Trevor was swimming in toys.

The toys are more fun when they are all dumped out of the toy box

This ball dropper had been put up for a few months. Trevor thought it was pretty awesome now.

We got our warning text message: “Incoming Garbage”
We were outside in time to see the truck approaching. The driver must wonder how Trevor does it.

“Hi, truck!”

Dumping the cans is so cool

Brendan thinks Trevor is silly, he just hasn’t been outside to see the truck

Sometimes the boys play nice together, sometimes there is big time jealousy and fighting

Bill and I took Brendan to his pediatrician for a follow up on his illness. His ears were looking good, his lungs sounded beautiful. The doc says that parainfluenza is a tough bug and that once the virus is gone, yucky cold symptoms set in and secondary infections (like what Trevor has) are common. He said Brendan should start making improvements in his numbers by the end of the week.
Brendan did great and didn’t even cry for his checkup. We were in the spongebob room today.

Mommy smooching attack!

We had a respiratory tech visit tonight and switch Brendan’s vent back to pre-hospital settings so hopefully he will have a better night!

Year 2 – Week 33 – Day 5

Bill was in the office today so it was just me and Gramma at home with the boys. So there were no outings or anything unusual, just two people being silly to keep the two little ones entertained.

Brendan had a bad spell of low sats in the night, but he seemed to be bright eyed and ready to party today. He was very active and smiley and playful.

He has to keep an eye on that little Trevor

Gramma does a lot of reading!

Brendan got in the toy box to escape the paparazzi

Trevor wants in

They had some time this afternoon to lounge and watch cartoons

Brendan has Gramma well trained. Every time he sees her, he claps and then he knows she will clap for him. He loves clapping!

Brendan has a new trick that he learned by imitating his brother. Ribbit!!

Year 2 – Week 33 – Day 4

The week is already going by quickly. I didn’t take out my camera once today, Gramma took all of the adorable pictures.
Everyone continues to improve a little, there are still coughs lingering and Brendan is still needing 4L O2.

Brendan is sporting one of his new shorts onesies

Trevor is responding to “what does a horse say?”

Brendan is climbing in to Trevor’s play space!

There were fights

Super innocent boy

Somebody went to Costco this afternoon and ate a wide variety of samples for his afternoon snack. That same someone may not have had a good appetite for dinner.

Brendan was wondering why everyone was in the kitchen but him

Trevor is helping with the dishes

He’s all ready for bed, only thing left to do is play some piano

Brendan drank some drips of milk out of a bottle!

Trevor says, “Bro, I will show you how it is done”

It is a good day when there are cute pictures and not a lot to report!
