Catching Up

It has been awhile and a lot has happened since my last post. Owen got his red cast on and then we had Westernfest Trunk-or-Treat. It was a no brainer what to dress the kids up as. Brynn has been playing doctor the past month and with Owen in a cast he would be her patient. So Dr. Brynn wore her scrubs and Owen was the injured football player (wearing Uncle Jared's football jersey).

November 2nd, Owen had tubes put in both of his ears, which was definately needed after having 10 ear infections since birth. He had a little bit of a hard time coming out of anesthesia and was very fussy/cranky the 3 hours following. As of today he is a healthy boy and no more ear infections! Hooray!

November 15th, he had the cast taken off. Those 2 weeks of not getting his cast wet or dirty was the longest 2 weeks ever! But we made it and Brynn was a great big sister/doctor:) It didn't take Owen long before he was moving and using his arm. He even had the guts to jump on my bed that night (almost gave me a heart attack!) Should I be surprised? Nope, he is all boy! But we all made it through the first broken bones and pray there are no more.

November 19th, Owen ran a high fever of 102-103 that wouldn't go down even with Motrin and Tylenol in his system. I was a wreck all night worried about him. Finally I took him in the lukewarm shower with me and it brought his body temperature down. The next morning we see the white of his bottom right molar at the surface of his gums. It was a long week of no sleep and whiny neediness. It is now November 29th and it still hasn't cut through. At least he is in a better mood with a few painful cries in the middle of the night.
