Take A Number

It is official. Aug 19 I am going in for a full upper-body work up. This was originally the date that Dr. Mertes, my dentist, scheduled to fix my teeth. Then the ENT got involved, and she is going to remove my adenoids and put tubes in my ears. (Note: tonsils are remaining attached to my body.) Then Dr. Kraynack, from CF, got wind of the impending procedures. He wants to do a throat/air way culture since I'll be under. Hopefully, I will be able to breathe easier after this is all done.

Pictures From Calico School

Every couple months, a progress report comes home to show the family how I am doing in school. Along with it comes pictures of activities in school. Enjoy!

ENT Update

My day today:
8-9am PT with Katie

9:15am Appt with Dr. Crow. He said, "See ya in 6 months!" Yippee!

9:30-10:30am Morning break and ate

10:45 Appt with ENT, Dr. Griffin. She said that I would probably keep the tonsils and that their size would not keep me from coughing up my crud. She ordered an Xray to look at the adenoids. We are also going to wait until my antibiotic course is over to see if the fluid in my ears goes away. So, in early August, we will return to talk about the adenoids and peek into the ears.

11:45 Lunch

12:15 Xray of my face

1-5pm Nap

Got Crud?

What is crud you might ask? It's the icky sticky germies that hang out in my body.
Friday was a 2 1/2yr well visit with the pediatrician. She says that I am growing at the rate of a 2yr old, which is slow. My body says, "Hey! I'm just two, what's the hurry to do all this growin' ????" We also discussed my monster-sized tonsils and my nose issues. The wallpaper paste thick boogies are gone thanks to the nasal spray, and now I sound too dry. ...and the fluid in my ears and how the adenoids are not letting the ears dry out. Got some meds from her...and a consult to an ENT. So, the newest member of the Timmy's People is going to be Dr. Janet Griffin, an ears, nose, and throat specialist at Childrens. My "people" want me to have my tonsils and adnoids out before winter so that my cough can actually be coughed up and my snot can go in the right directions. Geez.
Need to rest up tonight...Thursday is regular PT with Katie, a visit to Dr. Crow (haven't seen him in months!), and the ENT appt. Wish me luck. I'll keep you posted.

For the Fourth

With the big brother at Grandma and Grandpa's house for the week, things were pretty quiet around here. We didn't go to any fireworks...they just aren't my thing...plus they are past my bedtime. Except I didn't go to bed until after midnight last night. My parents were not too happy. During the afternoon of the fourth, we packed a picnic lunch and went to Waterworks Park. We hung out, fed the ducks and geese, and went for a stroller ride.


On Sunday, we went to Canton to do some shopping and so Mom and Dad could eat at Quaker Steak. Here is a picture of me next to a truck at their car show. Dad noticed the sign right away and thought that this had to be a photo moment.
