Nick and I

Well, I know this is pretty much all about Blake, but I just thought I'd update you on 'us'. Not much to exciting. Nick has joined a golf league through work, and I am playing softball this summer. I am also teaching a sign language class one night a week. Blake and I went to Spring Hill for the weekend and while we were gone Nick and his brother finished staining our fence so that is more or less finished now!! Uhmm.. Not much else with us that doesn't involve Blake so I'd better stop there.

Potty Update!!!!!

Okay so today is day 4 and we had NO yes that's right NO accidents. I am probably cursing myself, but I am so proud of him (and me for making it through this). He is even telling me when he has to go he sais (Mommy my potty's coming). It's really cute. We've done number 2 on the pot twice!!! I am so proud at how quick he's picked it all up. We have not wet at nap, or bedtime either. I am completely setting myself up for a HORRIBLE day tomorrow, but I'm so proud and had to share!

Potty story

Okay well we've started the potty training progress... On day one we had 5 accidents before we had one sucess... then we woke up dry on day two and had one accident and then three successes and we went poop and pee on the pot!!!! then so far today we've had one accident and one success so we are getting there! I'll keep you updated.

Potty Training!

So here it is our latest hospital pictures. This one is more upbeat though... After he gave up at trying to pull out the oxygen cord he realized he could still play etc.. with it in. We went to a doctors appointment on Tuesday and we were then put in the hospital because his oxygen levels were at 86 to 88, after two breathing treatments. He was put on oxygen given and IV and had his oxygen levels monitored 24 hours a day. We finally met the doctors requirments to get out on Thursday night so we got out on Friday after lunch. We were still doing breathing treatments every 4 hours at home and we went back for a checkup on this Friday. We were 18 hours out from our last breathing treatment and he had oxygen levels of 96! So hopefully we'll be finished with all of this stuff. Thanks for all the prayers that were sent our way.

Back to the Hospital it is....

So we are back in the hospital. I'm a day or so late posting this but you know.... Here's the story. On Friday the 15th Blake started having a fever, which got pretty high on Friday. He still had a fever on Sat, and Sun. Monday he was fever free, but developed a cough. So Tuesday morning, since he had no fever yet, I took him to the sitters, and went to work, where I decided he needed to go to the doctor, I got him an appointment for after school that day. However he decided he wanted to see me sooner, and his fever returned. So I went to get him early and we went to the doctors. We spent a few hours at the doctors office, getting breathing treatments and what not, they ran 'the flu' test (negative) and then decided when the breathing treatments couldn't get his oxygen levels up that we had to go to the hospital for a 23 hour observation (well obviously we are over that now). The doctor wants him to be able to sleep for 2-3 hours without being on oxygen and keep his levels at 92. We are awake on .5 liters of oxygen holding at 93, so I'm thinking we might be here longer =( I know it's best for him though.

He is starting to liven back up though which is good! He was dancing last night which was so fun to watch, of course I do NOT have video of that because everytime we pulled out a camera he stopped dancing.

Thanks to everyone who has called, came up to see us, and sent prayers, they are all helping us get though this!

P.S. I will try to post some pictures once we get home ( don't have the cord here )

It's OFF!!!

Sorry this is a few days late... but he did get his cast off on Friday. They want us to come back in 6 months to make sure it is growing straight, but we are cleared to do whatever! It was so great to give him a real bath. His arm now is really dry, and breaking out in egzima, but it's just recovering from being casted for a month I guess?
