Got my tubes in....

Willie finally got his tubes put in this morning. They said no food or drink after midnight. We were hoping he would sleep all night , but we didn't get that lucky. He woke up at midnight, i let him have an ounce of milk to go back to sleep. Then he woke again at 5:30 and was up until the surgery. UHHH, its been a long morning. But hopefully when its all said and done, this will be worth it all! Here are some pictures we took. Our little man was a real trooper!

Right before we left the house.
Right before we got out of the car to the doctors office.

Changing over, doesn't he look so cute!

Mommy had to dress up too, so I could go back while the gave you anesthesia .

Killing time, waiting for the sedation drug to make you tired!

Still full of energy.

I just had to take this picture!

Trying to call someone to get me out of here!

Finally, I am done and can have some juice!

Sleeping on my ride home.

Man I am tired.

My Big Sister ....



I love that Willie has a big sister! Jackie Rose is so in love with her little brother! Well, I have to admit they have their moments! Jack has been known to push him down a few times. But kids will be kids , Right?! Here are a few pictures from this morning before we left for school. I picked up JR from school and she said she had a headache and wanted to take a nap. Pray for me please. If you know Jack, this just isn't her. She did the same thing yesterday and was out like a light by 4 pm. I just cant take another sickness right now! Tomorrow is Willie's surgery! So if you have some time , his surgery is at 10:15. We have to be there at 9am, and he cant eat or drink anything past midnight tonight. Say a few extra prayers that he sleeps all night and doesn't wake for a bottle he cant have. Its going to be a rough butt morning!!!! Enjoy the pictures!

Willie lovin' on his sissy!

My sweet baby girl. She just melts my heart!

That's right, I love my Bah Bah!

Cruisin' Right Along....

Willie has been interested in walking for about 2 months. He would stand on his own, cruise along the furniture, maybe take 1 or 2 steps. Jackie Rose was walking by 10 months but Willie man has wanted to take his own time! Finally 3 days ago, he took 3 to 4 steps, then 4 to 5, then all of a sudden 7 to 10 steps at a time. He looks so cute too, like a little Frankenstein. I think he is figuring out , it may be a little easier to walk then to crawl. But don't let that fool you, that boy is a professional crawler!!! I cant believe it, I turn my head for one second and he is already all the way upstairs getting into his sisters room. Jackie cant stand that by the way. Hope you enjoy seeing my boy walk right along! I cant believe how fast my baby is growing. We have been so caught up with all the sicknesses in this house, we haven't had a chance to just sit back and enjoy his little milestones. boo hoo.

Latest,,,,,

We now all have the flu,,,,, will it ever end??

ENT Visit

Yesterday we went to the ENT for Willie. Finally he will be getting his tubes next Friday. I am hoping they are the answers to our prayers. The doctor said his one ear is still red, but "not " an ear infection. In Willie terms that means in a day or two he will have another ear infection. His fluid in his ear isnt flowing and well thats going to cause an ear infection. I am going to see my cousin today to have her look at his ear. Thank goodness for family hook ups! Hopefully she will take a good look see and maybe give some more meds. that would keep up good for the surgery , which he cant be sick for. UHH. He is refusing to take his morning nap. Which means a grochy baby for his 2:30 apt. My little boy is so stubborn... wonder were he gets that from????

I sent Jackie Rose off to school today, and on the ways she said Mommy my tummy hurts. I am such a bad mom, I sent her anyways. I cant have her missing so much school! Hopefully she is feeling better by the time she gets home!

Happy Valentines Day!

I have to say that Valentines Day was the best day! Jackie had a blast at her school party. I took her to chick fil a for lunch , and we had a blast. Willie really digs that play place too! Then Will came home with the most beautiful flowers! To top it off the family got together at the best Japenese Steak houses in Gainesville! Way yummy, and boy were we all full. Then we got home and put everyone to sleep. It was a great valentines day. BUT Then....

Happy Valentines Day everyone!

Jackie,,happy to get some treats!

My pretty flowers!

Half the family..

Sisters

I think we look so cute !

My Mommy and Daddy.

My sweet family of four!


Jackie woke up around mid night , came into our room. She had tinkled her pants, which she doesnt do. Then i picked her up and she was on fire! I couldnt believe it. She was at 104'. I gave her some motrin, and cold compresses! She tried to sleep in bed with us, but she just tossed and turned. I gave her some Tylenol, and man that just wanst working. I couldnt believe that my baby girl, the HEALTY one, was getting so sick. 6 hours later , after going up and town from 103 to 104, my thermometer read 105.1. That was it for me, off to the ER we went. I tell you, its to hard to stay strong. I havent had a healthy house since Christmas. I dont think i can take much more. I have been to the ER and Hospital way way way to much these past few weeks. So we get to the ER , my little girl was awesome. She didnt flinch when the took blood or gave her an IV. She said, Mommy, I am brave, I dont need to cry. Man she was a rock star! Turns out she has a UTI.. UHHHHH. We went for a check up Saturday morning. She was a new kid, no fever, and full of energy. Still pail but so happy. At that point, I thought, Will and I could go on our date night. So my aunt came over , but before she Jackie Rose started to have a fever again. So I was tempeted to back out again, but I gave her her meds and we went. Will and I just needed to step away for a bit. It was nice. We got home and Jr didnt have a fever, but I gave her some meds anyways, just in case. She went to bed , only to wake with a headache and a 102 temp. SHIT,,, I cant take it anymore. I just want to be carefree again. I want to get into my bed and truly sleep, not tossing and turning to every cough i hear or every turn they do. I just want my babies to be healthy. So we went to church today, her fever broke by 7 this morning. She has buggies running out her noise and a cough. But right now she seems ok. But not her spunky self. Willie has his ENT apt. tomorrow. Hopefully we will hear his ears are cleared up, and that we we can get on the road to getting him some tubes! I am just ready to have a healthy house. To be able to plan our weekends. I want to have Willies family 1st birthday party already. Is that to much to ask. We heard from the docts about the mri and the eeg, nothing showed up. So that is great. But now we have to sit and figure out with the neurologist whats really going on. Will and I say its still Febrile seizures! But the neurologist isnt sure. UHHH. So keep your prayers coming. My babies need them, and man Will and I need them. I feel like something is chipping away at my stregnth,, and I am getting weaker by the day! Thats so sad to write but its true. I would much rather be the one laid up sick in the hospital than having my babies go through so much.

My strong little man!

Here are some pictures of Willie from yesterday. He did well with his mri and eeg. They had to sedate him. It was sad, but he was such a trooper. It was a long day, had to leave the house at 5 am, and didn’t get home till 3pm. We just wait now to hear the results. We go this Monday for his apt. with Potomac ENT. He was diagnosed Friday with his 5th Ear infection. We had just finished his medicine this last Monday for his last ear infection only to be 4 days latter with number 5 ear infection! Shesh. Thanks for your well wishes and prayers. Please keep them going. The power of pray is truly an awesome thing.

Sleeping right after they gave him those meds.
