So my blog has been neglected for months now. There are many reasons for that but really they shouldn't be considered excuses. 1st - I lost my camera with a whole bunch of pictures on it, 2nd - My computer died and I kept hoping we could fix it so I went without a computer for a month before giving in and buying a new one, and 3rd - Addison has been sick CONSTANTLY!! I don't know how other mothers do it but sick children are hard. Period.
Well it is a new year and things are looking up for us. I have a new camera (yay for Christmas), I have a new computer, and Addison got tubes put in her ears!!!! I was so happy when her pediatrician finally recommended tubes. After one ear infection after another I thought I was going to scream. Between her molars coming in (which took FOREVER) and all of the colds/ear infections I thought I was a goner. I can only imagine how Addison felt.
We went to ENT and Addison failed all of the ear tests. Which meant she couldn't hear and she wasn't going to get better without tubes. So I signed her up for the first surgery date available.
Addison was a trooper. She only whined when they put the ID wrist band on her. She loved all the toys, (I love Primary Childrens), all the other kids to play with, and didn't seem to mind that she was fasting (my biggest worry).
The surgery went fabulously and she came out of it so well. Se was a little groggy but only had one minor incident. After they let us go we went down to PCMC's cafeteria to get Brighton and I a little something to eat and while we were waiting in line Addison threw up all over the nurse in front of us. It was traumatizing, for me. Addison didn't seem to mind at all. We quickly got someone to clean it up, apologized to the nurse (who took it very well), cleaned up all our clothes and went on our way.
I am very happy to have that surgery over, happy to have Addison feeling better, and excited to see what the New Year brings!

AWwwww look at little Addi's face after the surgery! I hope she gets feeling so much better--and that you as a result can feel better, too! I sometimes think that the #1 role of motherhood is sacrifice. You sacrifice comfort and your personal preferences and just do whatever it takes to take care of your kids, so I am sure these past few months have NOT been easy. You deserve some up time!
