Ear Tubes, Crash, Graduation, Parties, & Fever

Camden had tubes put in his ears last Monday on the 11th. It was SUPER fast!! We were told to be there at 6:50am. Checked in, did some paperwork, they sent us back to the room to talk to the doctors and nurses, more paperwork...this took approximately 40 minutes. Then the nurse took him back and they told me to wait in the waiting room and they would call me back the minute he was brought back to the room. I read a page and a half in my book and they called me back!!! SO FAST! Then it took another 15-20 minutes for him to come out of his drugged up stuper and we were on our way! In and out in like an hour and 20 minutes! CRAZY! He was completely back to his normal self after he took his afternoon nap! AMAZING! He has been doing well ever since...haven't had any drainage or him grabbing at his ears or anything!! Keeping our fingers crossed!!

So our computer crashed last week and it still isn't up and running fully... Internet access only and only to safe websites until virus protection is uploaded. Lost all my photos (will have to order them from KodakGallery if I want them here at the house) and all my videos. Whatever I didn't get around to uploading on UTube is gone...*SOB*

So I have learned my lesson and will start backing up EVERYTHING at least weekly if not every other day! Grrrrrr! Please do not lecture me mother. :-)

Next Subject: This past weekend was graduation central on Bob's side of the family. It started with Friday night. Elizabeth, his littlest sister, graduated from Johnson County Community College during a hail storm and pouring down rains! We all sat SOAKED throughout the ceremony...BRRRRRR!!!!! Then Saturday Decovin woke up with a fever and so we missed Bob's cousin Brad's high school graduation in the morning and his graduation party in the afternoon. It was looking like I was going to miss his other cousin Austin's high school graduation that evening but lucky for me I have the greatest family in the world and my Aunt Melodie and her two boys came over to watch them for me so I could go! Yay!

Decovin's fever was off and on all day Saturday and when he woke up Sunday it was back to normal...so I decide we can make the trek to the park for Elizabeth's graduation party. It was fun and a BEAUTIFUL day for it and we stayed for a couple of hours then I left as both the boys were EXHAUSTED! So the trip home was QUIET! YAY! Then after a few hours of being home I checked D's temp again and BAM, it is back up through the roof...more motrin was administered and then I put him to bed. I checked on him again at 5:30am and it was back up again so I gave him another shot of motrin and he slept til 8:30 and it has been normal since...I did call the doctor's office this morning to see about talking to a nurse to see if it was necessary to come in or not. He is acting fine otherwise and Amanda said that as long as he is "normal" then a fever is not going to hurt him. So I am waiting for the nurse to call back. We'll see.

So I am exhausted from this weekends festivities but it was a fun weekend and now I am looking forward to my MaryKay party this weekend...everyone is invited. I am having two parties...one at 2pm and one at 3pm so that everyone can get a color makeover! :-) Let me know what time works best for you so I can start tallying my lists!

Oh and the last weekend in May thru June 6 we are headed to the Lake of the Ozarks for our family vacation! It is our only opportunity to do something this year as Bob will be in training for the better part of the summer. So I am SO looking forward to this! Just have to get some ear plugs for Camden so he doesn't get lake water in his ears...that is IF we decide to go in the water...it may be too cold yet...but we do plan on taking out my father-in-laws new/used boat they just bought!!! YES!!!
