There’s good news and not so good news today.

Good news: We had our 90-day review with the state, nursing hours will not be changed for the next 90 day period. Big sigh of relief!

Not so good news: Brendan’s glasses aren’t ready yet. I should get an update tomorrow, I hope we don’t have to wait until next week.

Brendan’s nurse was out sick today, and then after a total nap fail, I took the boys to Joann and bought a craft that we can work on for the next week or more. This little Polar Express kit has five wooden train cars to paint. We will add lots of extra embellishments from my craft stash and then put it under our tree this year. The boys love to paint, they got the roofs of two cars done. I hope their interest lasts.

While I was trying to set up the painting area, Trevor was trying to get into the box.

Skipping a day was totally strange, this post will be short and super sweet. Someone loves his new pajamas.

Going to the playground in pajamas? Yeah, we do that.

Lego shoes make for perfect sand scoops and sifters.

Hopefully Brendan’s glasses will be ready for pickup tomorrow!

I had to do an update today because we made a visit to the pulmonologist’s office. She is very happy with his progress. He was 36.25 inches tall and weighed 28.6lbs. She supports my decision to keep him out of a classroom preschool setting. He is supposed to keep going as is, keeping the vent for support all winter, and then when we see her again in March we can make a plan for decannulation.

This afternoon, the boys were outside digging. (again) They had to come tell me that they discovered “treasure”. They all revealed a large piece of an old defunct network of lawn sprinklers. Excavation and removal kept them busy for a while!
