How has it been a month since I've written you a letter?!? We've covered alot of ground in the past month.
You are grabbing for toys and putting everything in your mouth! You try to suck both thumbs at the same time. You love to chew on your Ikea bunny. I think it's almost time for him to take a trip through the washing machine. He's getting pretty yellow!
We bought you an exersaucer and you love it. You can already make some of the toys light up! You are still little miss sunshine. You have a smile for everyone that catches your eye.
Speaking of eyes your blocked tear duct has caused you to have an eye infection and so we are back to glasses for a couple days. You are not a fan of glasses anymore and after having the contacts I'm not either! You are constantly pulling them off and slobbering on them and they also have a giant scratch down the middle. I have no idea how it got there but I'm pretty sure there is a certain 2 year old we both know that could tell me.
We added a new Dr to the list this month. She's a GI Dr. It turns out your liver enzymes have gone down so that's one less thing to worry about! Yay!!
We are also talking about adding a Pulmonologist because with the slightest cold you get you end up wheezing like crazy and sometimes the breathing treatments don't help.
You also have your 4th ear infection right now so you might be headed in the direction of your sisters to get tubes. Hopefully if that's the case it can be scheduled along with your quarterly glaucoma checks so you won't have to go under anesthesia any more than necessary .
For some reason these days have been really difficult . In reality I think they should be feeling easier but I think I'm just worn out from the endlessness of the past few months. I feel like my emotions are right below the surface just waiting for someone to say the wrong thing or even sometimes for someone to say the right thing. I just dissolve in a puddle of tears. I think the crying is helping though. It's gotta come out sometime I guess. Spending every evening relaxing at the pool is definitely helping me rejuvenate. You and your sisters are the best medicine!
Crystal,
ReplyDeleteYou are such a wonderful mother, I wish that I had the patience that you have! As mothers we often handle the majority of the load and all of a sudden all the emotions will come thru the floodgate, and your wondering why the littlest thing triggers you. It sounds like you need a little respite from it ALL...maybe a girls day out? Give me a call anytime!
