Chandler's Surgery

Chandler has been having some issues with ear infections, diminished hearing, snoring, & speech problems. After seeing her pediatrician, speech therapist, & ENT, it was decided that the 1st step in correcting these problems were to take out her adeniods & put in ear tubes. So, this past week, that is what we did.

We checked in to the outpatient surgery area & they gave Chan some medicine to relax her.....she got so silly. She just kept giggling & laughing. Daddy & I were laughing so hard that we had tears in our eyes.

.
The surgery went fairly quick & she was soon back in recovery. She was not happy to have the IV in her hand.....but they did give her a monkey that had a surgical mask on. After a few tears, she went home & spent the day resting.


Next up: weekly sessions with a speech therapist.

These are the 3rd graders who made all A's. There were only 6.....one was absent for the assembly. It sure is nice that Cheney is part of this group. The other boy is Cheney's good friend, Rene.

After the honor roll assembly, the DI teams from Cheney's school were recognized. The 3rd grade team is on the left & the 4th grade team is on the right. Cheney's friend, Hayden, is on the 4th grade team. He is standing in the middle of the top row of 4th graders in the red shirt.

New Year's Eve Fun

It is a tradition that Pop usually makes us homemade sopapillas for New Year's Eve, but this year, we did something different because not very many people joined us so we didn't want Pop to work so hard. This year, we had chocolate fondue. It was a hit!!
