Jabber Mouth

Case's ENT appointment went well. His ears were all better and there is no need for tubes at this point. Since his ears have cleared up he's started "talking" non-stop and very loudly. He talks so much he doesn't even want to sleep. Yesterday I was so ready for a little peace and quiet that I put him in the car and drove to the bookstore. I knew the car ride would finally put him to sleep. It worked until we strolled into the bookstore. Then he started squealing, screeching and screaming at the top of his lungs. The silent bookstore was not appreciative.

Words that he now says:
dad
daddy
daddad
doo doo
bye bye
dog
hey
hush
love you (once)

Update

Case is starting to run low fever again. We had a few days where he was normal, but he's up to 99.6 with the Motrin. The doctor won't do anything until we get to 100.4. I guess the shots and latest antibiotic are not doing the trick. Please pray that he gets feeling better soon, that the fevers go away and that the ENT will fix him. That appointment is Friday at 10am.

Tribute to a Dear Friend...

It's a sad day for Mom and Dad's beloved pet, Case's Uncle Austin and the thorn in my side (just kidding). In all honesty, I really love that dog but don't tell him. It will seriously go to his head. Today we learned that Austin's herding days will be no more. After a few weeks of leg trouble, yesterday Austin blew out his knee and I mean totally blew it out. He completely tore his ACL in two. He will soon be undergoing surgery and extensive rehabilitation. Our thoughts are with him during this difficult time.

We love you, TT Dog!

Ear Infection Part 50

Case's ears are slightly better. Last week the doctor said we could expect drastic improvement. We are continuing the Suprax and have an appointment with the ENT Friday morning. We'll see where we go from there. He was running low temp in the doctor's office.

Grandma Josie Comes to Town

Case is glad his Grandma came to see him before she had to go back to Pennsylvania. We miss you already and we love you Grandma Josie.

Where we are today

Exhausted. Tired of multiple trips to the doctor in a week. Even multiple trips in a day in some cases. I had an appointment this morning and have a sinus infection. I'm taking Case back this afternoon at 1:45. He has actually been fussier if that is possible the last 2 days. Holding his ear in his sleep and sounds like some congestion may be building back up. I know it seems crazy that I keep taking him in and not letting him run a full course of antibiotics, but I did try an 8 day stretch and he was worse when I took him in. I know that something is still wrong and after 3 weeks of this he needs a break. We need to get this fixed. If he needs tubes in his ears lets just get it done. How many more things are we going to try? The child is miserable. His parents are miserable.

We are also excited to just find out that Josie is coming! She sounds so excited and so are we. I hope she has a nice relaxing weekend enjoying watching Case. I hope he will perk up and be in a great mood for her.
