The Verdict is....

Bridgette is going to be getting tubes in her ears on april 9th. Regan on the other hand is NOT getting tubes right now. The dr decided to wait and see if the fluid in his ears will clear on its own. Both kids are on a new diet for reflux. So now I have to go get more groceries after I just went shopping on Friday. Hopefully the diet will help Regan's ears so that he doesn't need surgery.

Other than that we aren't doing to much else this week. On Saturday the kids and I are going to see Sesame Street Live with my mom. Regan is looking forward to that. Bridgette even gets excited now when Elmo comes on t.v. She never really watches t.v. unless Elmo is on. That is the best 20 min I have during the day.

I hope everyone is enjoying their week! My computer is going to get fixed for about a week, so I will try and stay informed through other people.

terrible week

Where do I start? Let's see, well on Monday, Sean and I ended up with the flu. Luckily, my mom was able to take the kids so that they wouldn't get sick. Then on Wednsday, I took Regan to the doctors because he is complaining that he can not hear very well. The pediatrician is saying that he will probly need tubes in his ears again because there is so much fluid behind the eardrum that it is not draining right. So now both kids have an appointment with the Ear, nose and Throat doctor. I really don't want them to have to have tubes, but if it helps then I am okay with it. Maybe they will schedule their surgery's on the same day. We will see. I just hope that this fluid in regan's ear hasn't affected his hearing at all. Then on Thursday night, I am sure everyone has heard about the terrible plane crash. I just wish that there was something that I could do. They are not letting anyone near the crash site and there is plenty of people taking care of the families.

Some good news is that the Rascall Flatts concert is tonight and since my brother and Verna gave me a ticket for Christmas, I actually get to go tonight. Maybe I will be able to get my mind off of things for a couple hours.

Well I hope everyone else has had a better week than we have!

SuperBowl

On Sunday, we had friends over for the game. We also had a friendly argument over who was going to win the game. Regan, Bridgette and I wore our good ole Steeler's jersey. I let Regan stay up for the whole game. He didn't have school on Monday so he was excited to stay up for the entire game. By the end of the game, Regan and I were the only ones still awake. Of course, then we woke Sean up when we were jumping up and down after teh Steeler's scored their final touchdown! Bridgette slept through the entire game and then woke up at 10:30 p.m. and was up until about 12 midnight. I was exhausted on Monday and Regan refused to take a nap. I am still trying to catch up on my sleep.

I called the Ear, Nose and Throat dr on Monday and Bridgette has an app't on February 23rd. I am kind of expecting the dr to schedule surgery for tubes. I really don't want her to have surgery, but I also don't want her to go through anymore infections. She has had 5 infections in 6 mos. I will let everyone know what happens, after her app't.

Hope everyone else enjoyed the game as much as we did!!!
