(Backup) So long tonsils and adenoids

Beau had his tonsils and adenoids out on May 12, 2017. It was a scary experience for us but it was needed. It took him about 12 days to recoop and recover 100%. It was difficult to keep food and drink in him and he got tired of taking medicine too. But we made it through and he is back to our old Beau but now has a nasal/squeaky voice. I've been told the voice will go back to normal, I look forward to that. 

The only thing he wanted after surgery was "my daddy". So that's what he got. 

 

(The nurse told him that if he ate two popsicles then he could go home-and that he did!)

The reason we decided to have the surgery done are below. He has never had strep or any other throat infection. 

-snoring when sleeping

-whistled when breathing

-always had puffy bags under his eyes from not sleeping well. 

-choked on food

-drooled

-mouth breather

-chugged drinks and then gasped for air 

     

 

     

Finally going home! (On daddy's lap!)

3 year old well check

Henry's 3 year old we'll check proved once again that he is bigger than his big brother at thus age. This has been a constant for Henry since he was born. 

His stats today, weight 40 pounds. That's 97.5%. Height, 39.76 inches. That's 93%. He is over 3 pounds heavier and a inch and a half taller than Luke at this age. 

He was excited because he didn't have to get any shots today however we did do a diabetes test today because he stays so thirsty. I wanted to make sure there wasn't an underlying issue we weren't aware of. His results were great, 90 was his score. Not sure what that means but the doctor said it was great. She thinks his thirst could be from his sodium intake. At 3 years of age Henry still struggles with food choices and variety and is occasionally affected by texture. His newest addition to his diet is corned beef brisket! Who knew!!

Henry is 3!

Woo Hoo. Our Henry is 3! He got a bike from us for his birthday and has already mastered spin outs (in the house). So proud of himself! Thanks for all the birthday calls, texts and face times! He enjoyed them. 

And he is potty trained now!!!!!

Henry's 3rd Birthday Party

 Rachael, aka RaRa, and her sweet kids.

 Pretty sure this is his favorite gift. (and Luke's too!)

 His ice cream cake with sprinkles of course. The #3 candle is the same one we used for Luke's 3rd birthday. :) Wonder if it will make it to Beau's 3rd birthday...

 Waiting patiently for his cake.

 Anny and Yoo Hoo helping Henry get started rolling with his precious cargo.

 He wanted a tractor with a trailer so bad! He got what he wanted! The girls loved riding in the back!
