Sad Similarity

While Emerson and Braelyn are opposites on just about everything one sad similiarity is their trouble with ear infections!  Braelyn unfortunately started the struggle even earlier than Emerson with her first infection at just 4 months.  Over the last couple of months she had to be on antibiotics 4 times so Dr. Fershtman suggested that we go ahead and see Dr. Raney, the ENT, to see if she needed tubes.  He suggested that on a Wednesday, Dr. Raney acutally had an opening that Friday and before we left we were on the schedule for the following Wednesday!  We hope that the similiarities don't end with the infections because tubes did wonders for Emerson and we are hoping for the same result for Braelyn.  Her surgery was scheduled for 7:30 meaning we had to be at the surgery center by 6:30.  Thankfully Gransan was able to come down the day before so that Emerson did not have to get up at the crack of dawn with us.  Braelyn did great.  We were a little worried about not being able to feed her but when they ran behind, she just decided to go back to sleep and slept til they were ready for her.  Dr. Raney said that the surgery went great and sweet Braelyn was home playing with Emerson by around 8:30 like nothing had ever happened!

One of the Target purchases...water balloons!

Emerson loved the water balloons...if she was the one doing the throwing!

Better run faster next time Gransan!

I don't know if Gransan or Maggie was the target this time!

After water balloons the fun moved to the front yard to try horseshoes.

Who knew being the big sister of the patient could have such benefits!

The little trooper finally got up from her nap to see what she got out of the Target run!  She loved it!
