The doctor had to clean out his ears so that he could see Everett's eardrum, and that made little man very, very unhappy. We got real tears and everything. Then, came the vaccinations. He got stuck 3 times and had an oral vaccination. Booo.
The doctor is working on getting us into the pulmonologist's office sooner than the end of next month, so that is a plus. Everett will also be getting RSV antibody treatment from the pulmonologist. Since his airway is already constricted, anything that would constrict it further is cause for concern, so we just have to be a little bit more careful with him.
We also got a referral for a physical therapist. It seems that Everett's right neck muscle is tight because he favors that side so much. So, we are supposed to work with him for about 2 weeks, and if we don't see marked improvement, then we have to call the physical therapist.
Ba-chan left yesterday and is now safely at home where she gets to sleep in her own bed. ;) And she gets to read an actual newspaper and drink her tea in peace. :) We, on the other hand, are experiencing our first day ever of it just being the three of us. It should be interesting this week.
Also, the caregiver shuffle begins this week. Everyone brace yourself, it should be an interesting week. :) Hopefully we will remember to pack everything, and we will bring Everett to the right house!
We went and visited the pumpkin patch last week. Here are some pictures from that. And, a few other enjoyables from our growing little boy.
Hanging out with the scarecrow.
Mom and Dad tried to make a little extra money while we were there.
One of these things is not like the others.
The pumpkins will come to me...
Ahhh...relaxing with my pals. :)
Whew. That was hard work!
Then we went home and had a bath.
Roar...grrr....tough lion.The End.

HAHA! The pumpkin pictures are SOOOOOO cute! I'm envious that I'm gonna have to wait a WHOLE year to dress Sydnee in ANY costumes b/c we'll miss Halloween & Christmas this year...it's so weird that you went to the pediatrician yesterday because I woke up this morning with intentions of asking you who your pediatrician is...There are a TON of them to choose from at Presby & I figured I'd start with pediatricians that I knew people were already using...any suggestions?
ReplyDeleteMargot, Dylan and Everett
ReplyDeleteI am speechless....if that is possible. The pictures are priceless. Thank God everyday for the Everett. Hold each other close and your family will get through anything. I am so happy the grandparents are getting to help out with Everett. That will only make for a stronger family for Everett.
May God continue to work miracles in the lives of Dylan, Margot and Everett Alexander.
Love, Aunt Katanna
How come that that dandy lion aint spitin' punkin seeds all over the place.....i'm just glad he did not make a gourd of himself
