Tube Update

Just wanted to post a quick update on Bryson's surgery this morning. Our arrival time was set for 8:00 AM, which immediately concerned me considering Bryson was not to eat or drink from 12:00 AM on. In an effort to wear Bryson out last night, we took him out to eat and also kept him up until well after 9:00 PM. About 2:00 AM we heard him crying and much to our disappointment he had thrown up all over himself. Every now and then he does this in the middle of the night out of nowhere and is completely fine afterwards. Fortunately this was one of those instances. So we cleaned him up the best we could and put him back to bed. Thankfully he slept thru the rest of the night and was an angel this morning even without his cup of milk! The only tears we saw all morning were when the nurse was putting the little monitor thing on his foot which he did not like at all. He played and talked until it was time to take him back and then before we knew it the procedure was over and done with and we were on our way home! He has been playing and napping all morning. This is just such a 180 change from the last time and I'm sooo glad it has gone so smoothly and has not affected him the way it did previously. So hopefully this is the LAST time we will have to have this surgery done! I surely don't want to put him thru it again! Here are some pics:

A White February?

Hello All!
It has definitely been an interesting winter this year! Last weekend we experienced something that's very rare here in the south...snow! And lots of it! I'm not sure what the grand total was after everything was all said and done but I'm sure it was a good 5 inches and more in some areas! It was definitely the snow storm of the decade for us. The fun part is this was Bryson's first snow so watching him experience that was really awesome. He really didn't know what to think of everything but he enjoyed himself. I will say that while snow is fun for a little while, I am so glad it didn't stick around long! Here are some pics of the snow.

In other news, Bryson is having his second tube surgery this Friday on his R ear. For whatever reason the first tube decided to come back out so unfortunately we have to go thru the entire process again. I'm keeping my fingers crossed that this is the LAST time we will have to do this. I'm not quite as anxious this time around since I know what to expect. Still, it's no fun to have your child undergo surgery of any kind! I'm just keeping my fingers crossed that everything goes smoothly and he recovers quickly.
Other than that, there's not a whole lot going on in our world. We did get a new laptop and I can say that we are officially Macs now. I'm still learning how to use this thing but I'm hoping that by having this, I might update the blog more frequently. I wont make any promises though! We also got a nifty little video camera so I'm hoping that uploading videos will be a lot easier so I can post some soon. (again, no promises!) :)
Until next time!
