The nerdery

Years ago when Ron was living in the "frat" house on paulina, he and a few of the other guys would sit on their lap tops working (or whatever) and it got nick named "the nerdery"

Well the nerdery has made its way over to winchester:

Ramey got not only one but TWO baby laptops for Christmas...

Tubes

ARE IN!!!!!

Everything went very well... she went off with the anesthesiologist and 20 minutes later she was finished. A little groggy and cranky but once she came out of her fog she was back at being her cute little self!!

We go back in a few weeks for a follow up and a follow up hearing test in 2 months. She is already "talking" more

ENT update

Today was the day we were supposed to get tubes... someone decided she didn't want them and got a 6th ear infection, thinking that would stop it... ha on her... it was the fever and vomiting that postponed the procedure.

Over the weekend she had a cough and runny nose, which turned into a fever. Headed to the ped on Tuesday as she was going on day 3 of a fever... turns out its another ear infection, surprise surprise. (not really since the ent saw fluid 2 weeks ago) Ped thought we should be able to go ahead with the procedure as long as the fever went away...

Fever went away but the vomiting and diarrhea started. Ron and I decided it would be best to wait till she was feeling better to put her under anesthesia. So the tubes will be placed De 28th

She is feeling a little better today, enjoying some Little Bear and The Wiggles!! (and licking the peanut butter off the bagel, then leaving peanut butter prints throughout my house which Lefty is so generously cleaning up for me) (ped said it was ok to give peanut butter to help with weight gain and since we do not have food allergies in our families we could)

My Little Indian

Ok, so it's not pc...

A while back Uncle Bruce taught Ramey a new trick:




She has also learned how to do the same thing with her finger

New Friends

Ramey loves making new friends, even if its with herself



don't worry the mirror has been secured

thanks to Rebekah for the link to the snow effects!! (too lazy to find a holiday background, so the snow will have to do)

ENT update

Last weekend we had our follow up appointment with the ent about Rameys ears and adenoids.

At Ramey's last ped appointment, she was all clear... no fluid no infection... Well on saturday, he saw fluid, I wasn't all that surprised as she had a cold early in the week and anytime she gets a cold, she gets an ear infection (so will be watching her closely) Dr R suggested we get a hearing test to see if the fluid is affecting her hearing... The results (on the only test she would allow) showed her hearing is being affected, she was able to verify that she does in fact have fluid... Knowing that we are just entering cold season and the hearing results, we opted to go ahead a schedule for her to get tubes (Dec 17th) All those that I've talked to said the procedure was quick with a fast recovery... hope that is our case as well.

As for the adenoids... we are to continue to watch her while she is sleeping looking for mouth breathing and snoring... plus she is a restless sleeper (all over the crib) Knowing that she has a 50% blockage, she is on the cusp as to have them removed or not... again we'll watch and report then may do a sleep study if things do not improve or change.
