Last day of Work
I officially have 5 and a half working days left at my current job. It's scary and exciting all in the same breath. I know all signs have been pointing me this direction...but it doesn't make it any less major of a decision and a life change for me and my family!! God, I'm gonna need ya on this one!
Last week, Owen went to two follow-up appointments at Children's
First, the ENT:
Tuesday, June 11 he went to a follow-up with his ENT. This follow-up was a bit more concerning than I really would have liked...but as for all things with my kiddos, if it is for the best for them, then we shall do what the doctor recommends. Owen's appt began with a hearing test...which showed he had some fluid on his ears, making it show he had some minor hearing loss in one of his ears. The fluid isn't causing a problem right now, but there is a chance it will in the future. He also looked at his throat and tonsils (which were found to be larger than average for a kid his age) and he asked me if he snored. He does. And he also asked if there were pauses in his snores. There are. So, with that in mind, he ordered a sleep study. The thought being that he could be dealing with a number of sleep related issues that do not let him sleep well enough to give him the rest he needs.
We go to Children's for an overnight sleep study Monday, August 26th. I am not sure how this is going to go, but I'm going to go out on a limb and say not well...I could be completely wrong though. For now all we know is that we arrive at 7:30am...with PJ's, Owen's favorite night times comforts and one of his parents. We can certainly follow directions...so at the least we'll get that part right ;)
Second, the Children's Eye Center:
Since Owen's surgery, we go back yearly for follow-ups. These help ensure there are no problems, his vision hasn't changed etc. This appointment went well and other than an hour long wait for his appt...we are happy to report his eyes looked great. We go back next March for his next follow-up! This time we get to wait 9 months! Woohoo!!
Vacation:
And last but certainly not least...we officially have around 3 and a half weeks before we leave for the beautiful Gulf Coast on a family vacation. I cannot wait!! I went through the drive thru behind someone from way out of state and wondered what they were doing...thinking oh maybe a road trip! Fun! Then I felt that rush of ...YES!! we get to do this in a few weeks. I can't wait to pack our suitcases, hit the road and be the "out of towners" on a beautiful beach, get some sun on my shoulders and spend a full week with my family with nothing to do and no where to be! Woohoo!!
