A little update on the garden..
These are morning glory flowers.
I LOVE SUNFLOWERS! Here are a few shots I took earlier today of my GIANT sunflowers. :)
There is a bee on this one but it is hard to see....
Zack had his checkup this week and he is definately growing! He is 5 months now and weighs 16lbs 10oz and is 27 inches long!
The Doctor called back on Friday and he said it looks like Zoey is going to have surgery on her mastoid bone. So till her next appt which is the 31st of July we are supposed to keep cleaing her ear with vinegar and water and give her the steriod ear drops.
So Zoey got a tube in the left ear about 3 weeks ago for the third time. The doctor said it looked good after he put it in and he cleaned out all the green goop/pus. Plus no sign of the cholesteatoma that he thought might be there. So sounds wonderful, right? Well about a week ago guess what??? Oh yes, you guessed it more green pus! So I saw the doctor yesterday and he said to use half vinegar and half water and shoot it in her ear with a bulb syringe. We have done this before and it does help since vinegar is a natural antibiotic but it takes both Corey and I holding her down while she is screaming so loud the neighbors can hear, and we get the joy of doing this twice a day! Plus he tells me he thinks that it could possibly be her mastoid bone that is infected (which I thought all along) and it may be time for surgery since we have exhausted all out options. We have tried everything else because the surgery is very painful and they basically cut the ear from the back and peel it back to operate and most likely she will go deaf in that ear. And here is the kicker... it usually reoccurs!! GRRR! I get to go back in another two weeks so he can look in her ear for 30 seconds after driving an hour and waiting an hour! YEAH!
To make things more interesting Zoey woke up from her nap today and her hair was stuck to her face from the green goop and I happened to look in her ear to see how much was coming out and there it was.....her tube! It freakin fell out! So now what??? I am waiting for the good ole doctor to call me back. Of course he will take his sweet time as all doctors do!
Todd's new obsession is Army stuff! He loves little Army men and camo everything. These are some jammies I found at Wal-Mart and some crocs at Target. He is also having an Army birthday this year!
Showing his buffness....
On the 4th of July we had a great day! My parents came over and we watched a movie and had a BBQ! My parents brought over a pool and the kids just love it. Thanks for leaving it here for them!
Dad giving Zack a little taste of popsicle!!
Mom is making a pot holder with Tessa. My mom used to make these with my sister and I when we were younger. It was nice to see my mom making them with my daughter now.
The kids enjoying the feast! YUMMY!!
Relaxing in the pool!
