How we’re doing!!!

I wish the two weeks were up already..boy oh boy is this a challenge!!!  She was doing a little better last night so we thought but then today we are back to square one again..its a battle to get her to take her medicine and its a battle to get her to drink anything..but something's she doesn't have a problem eating…we are thinking its bc it is scratching her throat as it goes down and it must make it feel good or something…She is eating soft food like soups and veggies..but stuff where she has to swallow she wont do like yogurt which is shocking bc this girl LOVES yogurt!! I know it doesn't really make any sense does it :~)  I was getting a little worried yesterday about her intake of liquids bc her diapers were dry so I  gave her a bath..tell me a kid who will not drink the water in the  bathtub..I know its kind of gross but I guess desperate circumstances demand desperate measures..and guess what I was right…She did drink a lot in the bath tub!!!  So she played for quite a while in the bathtub..  We also  Jared hog ties her down and gets out the dropper and starts slowly squirting water into her. This is how we have to get her medicine in her too….She rarely will take a drink from her cup..remember how i told you she was particular about her cups..Yeap she has a cup for every kind of liquid..haha!!! and she likes to carry around all of them even though she really isn't drinking anything from them..Silly Girl!!!!

This was yesterday morning when I couldn't get her to do anything but lay on the couch with her two best buddies..sheep-sheep and pig-pig!!  This girl has to sleep with both of these animals and sheep-sheep has to be curled up in her right  arm  and pig-pig has to be curled up in her left arm..and her small blankey that grandma made her has to be on top then her big soft blanket on top of that and don't forget to uncover her feet bc this girl hates her feet covered up!!!  and don't think to try to switch the two animals around bc she will let you know otherwise..every night same routine!!:)

Hopefully a couple more days and she will snap out of it a little..and be kind of back to her old self again:)


Can you believe the twins are already five months old already..I know I am a little late posting this picture but I guess I've been a little busy:D  don't mind the slant on the picture..Jianna almost jumped of the couch so I kind of took the picture while I was running to catch her..haha!!  (I didn't have time to fix it  so I guess you will just have to turn your head to the left a little..lol) They are becoming quite vocal it is really cute.. Jayla is a screeching one though!!  Jianna is the spitter..Jayla is on the left and Jianna is on the right!!

They have both found there feet now:)  Jayla on the left, Jianna on the right..

Jayla likes to eat her piggy's:)

Jayla, on the left she loves her tummy…and Jianna on the right..she can only tolerate her tummy for so long!!

We have added another station..lol…first time putting them in the walkers..I think they are trying to figure out what in the world is going on with the other baby..lol!!! They would not stop staring at each other…it was too funny!! Boy am I going to need to have a massive baby garage sale when I'm done!!!

Quick Update

Just a quick update on Miss Avery…We got to come home tonight around supper time..We had to stay all day bc she was refusing to eat or drink anything..So they decreased her IV fluids some to see if she would drink more but nope she still didn’t. I really don't know how she got to come home but I guess. They weighed her wet diapers and then put in how much fluid she had taken in from the IV then the look at the difference and apparently it was enough to send us home.  I think they wanted us to stay again..but I kind of wanted to get out of there..They did say to watch her closely for dehydration.  So we will have to do that..bc when we got home she still refused to drink or eat anything and started to run a fever a little which is normal I guess....It is going to be a long two weeks of recovery..Its not very easy trying to pump liquids in a clench tight mouth. I have a VERY stubborn little girl!!!
How is her sleep apnea now??  Well I wont know that for a while..She will have to have another sleep study done in two months.  Then we will be able to tell if it helped or not!!  Its really hard to tell right now if it improved at all bc she is so congested..kind of croupy from getting her tonsils out. In fact they almost gave her a neb treatment last night bc she was sounding so croupy and looked like she was struggling a little breathing….but I guess we didn't  need it..

Oohhhh..I almost forgot.....guess who was waiting for us to come home tonight...Mr. Snakey!!!  He came back for another visit..but this time Jared was home and well lets just say...Off with his head..he is now dead now..Wheeeww!!  What a big sigh of relief!!  But before Jared killed him he OF COURSE  had to hold him straight up ( of course he wasnt holding on to him with his own hands) He was the length of my outside door from top to bottom..and he apparantly was only a baby. Huh??!! .Lets just say that Im just glad he is dead now!!!

Surgery went good

The surgery went really good and fast!!  Her adenoids did grow back a little so they did take them out again too..She did really good in the recovery room and about an hour later they had her in here room.. I feel pretty bad bc of course I brought her sippy cup with me but of course it was a straw one and of course she cant drink from a straw..duh??? Why didn't I think of that..good thing they had an extra one in the recovery room..but it wasn't really the right one..It was a hard spout and not a soft one..She is pretty picky when it comes to her cups. She drinks her milk out of a certain cup and her juice and water out of another one...So once when we got her back in the room and she fell asleep while Jared was still here I snuck out and went to the store and to try to find her a new one so we can keep her hydrated..But the whole thing is just  pretty frustrating and could of been avoided if only I would of known. We should be able to get out tomorrow..if everything goes ok..At the beginning she was doing wonderful..drinking alot but now she kind of took a turn for the worse I cant get her to drink anything..she’s sleeping right now..they just got done giving her some Tylenol with codeine for the pain and it made her sleepy.The nurse just told me that the night is usually worse so I might be in for a LONG night!!! Here’s a few pictures from today!!
This was in the pre-opt room before they took her back…

This was while we were waiting for them to take her back..Jared was on the phone and so Avery picked up my phone and was pretending to talk too:))

These are after the surgery in her room!!

Dolly’s Surgery

Just wanted to let you all know that Avery is having her surgery tomorrow..They are taking out her tonsils and if her adenoids grew back they will take them out too..She is going in at 8am and her surgery is 1030am..Will try to let you all know how it goes later tomorrow..Please say a prayer for Dolly that everything goes ok tomorrow and pray that this works for her sleep apnea so we don't have to have the CPAP machine..
