Drew update

Man where does the time go! I can't believe it's been so long since I last posted! We have been so busy around here, I can't hardly believe it's even summer. (Except for the heat that reminds me every time I open the door!) The biggest thing happening around here is that Drew had surgery on the 15th to take out his tonsils & adenoids! He is doing so good now, & I know he will feel so much better in the long run. We are still on a ice cream, Popsicle, banana diet. But he is loving it! These are a few pictures we snapped on the cell phone the day of surgery...

This was as soon as we got there & he got in a gown!


This one is so cute, my favorite of the day! We waited a good 2 hrs before he finally went back to surgery & he started getting really tired of waiting. So a sweet nurse walking by noticed & made a hat for Cowie to match Drew! How cute it he!
This last one will break your heart! :( This was right after surgery when we finally got to see him! How pitiful does he look! This is pretty much how he looked all of Tuesday & Wednesday. PITIFUL!!!!!!I am so glad it's behind us & I am sooooo proud of how brave Drew has been! Overall the recovery so far hasn't been bad at all! Praying that continues!

Summer has begun!

It's June 1st & school has been out for 5 days. I have one question...how long til school starts back?!?! My kids are driving me crazy & it's only been 5 days! The constant fighting & bickering. Not to mention the tattle tallying & beating up on each other! Oh man, I hope they make it til August! Something that is really not helping is the fact that we are having rain every day. And we never know when it might "pop" up. Normally I can take them next door to my in-laws & they will swim for hours! It's divine because they never typically don't fight & are such good swimmers that I can lay on a float relaxing while still keeping a close eye on them! But no...summer showers are not helping the Momma out!!! I do see some light at the end of this week though. Knowing the GD will be home Thursday night & then we will be having VBS all next week! Yippee things to do!!!!!!!

The only other exciting thing going on here is Drew will be having surgery on the 15th to have his tonsils & adenoids taken out. We have been battling a severe case of strep for 5 months now. He has been on 5 antibiotics since January & finally I had enough & took him to an ENT. Our pediatrician didn't want to send him until he had 10 cases but after 5, this Momma was D-O-N-E! So I made an appt with the ENT who did Sam's surgery 3 yrs ago, so I completely trust him. He agreed 10 was excessive & he's the one who feels like it's actually been 1 case of strep we can't get rid of rather than 5 separate cases. It makes a Momma feel good to know she is doing the right thing for her kids! So come June 15th we will be headed in & praying this will make all the difference in the world for Drew-Drew! I know it did for Sam, so we are praying for the same! I am sure I will update between now & then but we would definitely love the prayers! Thanks ladies!
