Facebook

Ok, who else is addicted to Facebook? I find myself looking on that site way too much....ugh! Is there an intervention? LOL

How many of you LP families are on there? I posted a video on there, but still can't here...what is up with that?

Oh well, I digress, off to check my FB page!!!

dum dum dum da dum.....

The line from my title is from JD's favorite part of the Celtics Game minus the phrase "DEFENSE"!

We have good news!!!! We went to the ENT doctor and JD needs to replace his ear tubes, no big deal...>BUT no ADENOIDs removal.....a year ago, he had adenoids that were too big to breath and now he had an airway to his throat!!!!!! Thank god we didn't do surgery.... I can't tell you how happy I am...Go JD!!!

Just a little update on my little man, he is doing great with his speech 1/2 hour week for articulation and is just a great kid...dare I say...you know, now that I have jinxed this,...I am not even going to say...

Happy Thanksgiving everyone, we all can be thankful for the incredibly great kids that we have been blessed with...Happy Turkey Day!!!!!

Celtics Game!!!

JD went to his first NBA game (the Boston Celtics)last week with Daddy!! Doug said they had such a great time! My SIL's brother works at the Boston Garden so he made sure to get JD and Doug up on the Jumbo tron several times, I attached a picture of Doug taking a picture of them on the screen...he was waiting for them to be up there!(I think like 4 times!). One of the pictures of him on the big screen he was doing "peace out"...crazy kid...everyone was cheering!!!

My Uncle was at the game and told my Dad he saw them on the Jumbo Tron! A waitress at our favorite restaurant saw them too! JD is famous (ok, Doug too!) The ate M&M's, and a hot dog!!! JD was cheering for both sides, I guess every time someone got a basket, he would just cheer!!!

Doug bought them matching Celtics hats and JD was sporting his really cool Celtics sweatsuit (thanks Auntie Debi). So all in all, he had a blast and Doug really wants to take him again!!!!

Random thoughts

Just a couple of pictures from the last couple of weeks or so. I don't think I should post the pictures I took with JD and his friends at LPA...I didn't get permission. :( I did post a couple of random photos. My dog Cayman, who dresses as Batman each year, my brother, sister and I...and JD as a pirate...

We had a fun weekend, we took the kids to the park in our neighborhood and played hide and seek. Kids are so funny, there really is no place to hide yet they "found" poles to stand behind and slides to sit under...it was too funny.

On Saturday night, Doug and I went to my FIL's retirement party...it was a great time and Jack seemed to have a blast.

Tonight JD is going to his first official NBA basketball game with Daddy. The Boston Celtics!!!! Hopefully, he will enjoy the game and won't think it is too loud!!! I will have Doug take lots of pics of the night...

LPA Regional and misc stuff!

Happy Halloween everyone! I just wanted to post about our happenings. We attended District One's Regional Meeting. It was alot of fun. JD met a friend for the first time since going to 6 of them now!!! He and Owen played for 2 hours in the kid room and then we danced and had a great time. JD was telling all the girls to play with him...I attached a picture of his friends. It was a good time. I enjoy meeting new LP's and getting valuable information at the parents meetings. Tonight is Halloween and JD is a pirate and Anne is a cheerleader!!! I will post some pics soon.

The best words you can hear from your most favorite Neurosurgeon/....

NO SHUNT OR DECOMPRESSION SURGERY AT THIS TIME


I can't believe it...well yes I can, JD, JON, Jonathan, has done so many good things in the past year that I should not have been worried...but come on, he has achondroplasia...there is so much to worry about. Plus, I worry about everything, I think the worst, then when good stuff happens it seems so much better...not a trait I hope my children pick up.LOL

I am happy to report, that through my neurotic (is that a word?) medical behaviors, we are in the clear til next May or June (depending on an opening for an appointment) with Dr. H. He is the greatest, I trust him completely...

So, tonight I sit and laugh and play with my two great kids and hope that we have many happy times ahead...

God yesterday was tough, I was so scared and now I think "why"...but I know why, I don't want my son to be in this situation, but hey he is, and if you saw him lying on the bed to enter the MRI...you would be so proud, he turned to daddy and said "can I get a blue and red race car when I am done?" I cried my head off, if that is even normal to say, but I did. The anethesialogist (why can't I spell that?) just said to me "take a minute and kiss your son, we have time...."...ugh...what a tough day...but now SOOO WORTH IT.... no brain surgery..I can't even tell you how happy we are...

Good night to everyone and thanks for the prayers, they truly worked!! :)
