Update

Here is a quick update on the Parker family. Gavin is going in for surgery this coming Tuesday June 2nd at 8:00 am and staying the night. He is having his tonsils and adenoids removed. The reason is that he has sleep apnea. We had a little stress this past week. First Gavin got his first ear infection in Washington we put him on amoxicillin to fix that. He had to be over the ear infection or he could not have surgery. That gave us 14 days to get him better. He was only supposed to need the amoxicillin for 10 days so I thought we were good. On day 8 he broke out in a rash all over his body. Not sure if you can see it in the picture, but it is sad.
I figured it was from the amoxicillin and we took him to the doctor. The doctor agreed he still had the ear infection so we took him off the amoxicillin and they gave him a shot for the ear infection. Gavin was not happy about the shot and never wanted to go to the doctor again. Two days later, he had to have a physical to make sure he was ready for surgery. Gavin didn’t want to go to the doctor again because he didn’t want a shot. I assured him he was not getting a shot today. Little did I know they had to take blood. He screamed and pulled away making it hard for the nurse to get the blood. Next, he had to get a shot for a skin test. The nurse and I had to hold him down so she was able to give him the shot. As far as I know, he is healthy and ready for surgery, but not wanting to see a doctor again as he puts it. The closer I get the more nervous I get. I am sure he will be fine, but I worry about the after math of dealing with a sick whiney child. They said some kids feel better after a couple of days and some take two weeks. I am planning on him being a pain for at least two weeks. We are not supposed to leave the house for a week and not have him be physically active for two weeks. It will be really fun at my house if you want to come and play.

I have so many pictures and more posts to do but don’t have the time. I am in this horrible U.S. Constitution class, which I hate and complain about every day. On a happy note Brody is so adorable and my lovable, huggable baby. It’s kind of funny he says so many words but will not say mom or dad. If you ask him to say it he will look at the person you say but will not actually say the word; however, he will say Grandpa. I will post more when I find time. We have been camping with the Plastow’s, swimming, and planning a swimming party for Monday at Mike and Amy’s. Trying to get everything fun in before the surgery, so if I ever find the time I will post more.
