I thought I might want to update before so much has happened that I can't cover it all!! Luke got his glasses on Tuesday, July 28. He was so excited! He looks adorable!! He is doing awesome so far. He doesn't really complain about them. He remembers to go get them without being told first thing when he wakes up, and he takes them off when he starts winding down for the night. He loves the "rule" GranDee made up.....On your face or in the case! Let's pray that the glasses are enough to help and we don't have to patch!
Zeke had his surgery Wednesday, July 29, to correct his hypospadias and circumcise him. The surgery went really well and wasn't as in depth as the surgeon thought it might be. It turned out to be more of a skin problem than an anatomy problem. He did not recover from the anesethia and pain meds so well. He really gave us a good scare. His pulse and respirations were high and his oxygen was low. He also began to run a fever. They gave him a breathing treatment with Albuterol and Tylenol and Motrin and eventually everything was fine, but only after Mommy and Daddo almost had nervous breakdowns!! We were at Children's about 12 hours, but did get to come home that night. He is now recovering well. He isn't fond of diaper changes and baths aren't the greatest, but he is getting better. He crawls and plays like nothing is wrong. He hasn't had Tylenol or Motrin in 2 days and tonight he took a bath without screaming!! Yay!!
Friday, Ian had his checkup at the ENT. His ears still did not look good and his sinuses are infected. We decided to go ahead with surgery. Antibiotics every month or so is not good. Dr. Simmons will put in the third set of tubes, remove the adenoids, and irrigate his sinuses on Tuesday, August 4. We also discovered that he has a slight functional heart murmur. According to 2 doctors(Dr. Simmons & Dr. Jud), a good friend who is a nurse, and the Internet this is not a big deal at all. We decided to go ahead with the surgery so quickly because Chad and I have to go back to work on Wednsday, August 5th and Ian starts PreK the next week. I didn't want him to miss the first days of school. It will be a one day surgery, and the recovery shouldn't be that bad. It shouldn't be anywhere near as bad as tonsils and younger kids usually bounce back quickly. Dr. Simmons said he should be fine to start school the next week.
Chad is trying to get everyhting he can done before he goes back to work. He is constantly busy cutting grass, working around the house, etc. He is going to have an extra full load this year and will be at one new school. He will still be at Cordova, but he will now be at Oakman instead of Parrish.
I am staying put as far as work, but we will be getting a new principal so that will be a huge change. I have no idea what is to come. I do know that God will work out everything just as it should be!!
I will update after Ina's surgery and we start back to work. Obviously the Tuggles are crazy busy, so keep us in your prayers!!
