Look what Collins can do

This afternoon Brian was reading to the big kids. I was picking up the upstairs when Brian called for me to come QUICK!

Look what my sweet girl did just before her 11 month birthday!!

Tubes

Back at the beginning of January at Collins' 9 month appointment we discovered that my sweet girl had an ear infection. After 6 antibiotics since then she got tubes this morning. There was so much fluid in her ears that she had moderate to severe hearing loss. By Gods good grace I'm positive that today my baby hears clearly for the first time in months. She was a champ this morning. We had the greatest nurse ever. (thank you Peggy!) the nurses in recovery wanted to keep her.

Today has been interesting. Everyday noises startle her. When we got home Brian started his truck and she nearly jumped out of my arms. I'm thankful. I've laughed today at her playing with toys that make sounds with an all new wonder. She's lived her life muted for months.

We go back to the doctor march 21 to retest her hearing. I'm looking forward to a positive visit.

Fun Day Saturday

Today we've had a fun day...and we are only half way done. We went to breakfast at Jakes. Then played at chickfila. Jennifer got stuck in the slide while rescuing a scared Addison from the top. Then we went to a sweet friends birthday party at the children's museum. Collins and daddy were busy joining a new pool while we were at the party. Now Collins is snug in her bed, daddy is doing school work and we are at the Y. The big kids love it. We may have to do this more often. I realized today we need to get a new swimsuit for ad....an a smaller one for Caden. He's so skinny that the 3T suit he has on may fall off.
