J E L L O and Cool Whip

Parker loves jello and cool whip he could eat them all day if i would let him.

Moms Scary Scary Day

So on the 1st Parker had an appointment to go get his ear tubes in so we could finally beat these stupid ear infections. I had to be at the hospital at 6:45 am because Parker was supposed to be the first surgery of the day. After i told them that he had been up with a fever in the night they decided to push him to the end of the line so they could make sure he wouldn't have any problems which was 9 am. Ha Ha is all i have to say to their theory of no problems. they came and took him back and what was supposed to be ten minutes seemed like 30 and then they finally came and got me to come back and see him. When I got back there he was just coming out of anaesthesia and was not happy which is normal except that his heart rate was out of control going back and forth from 210 to the 160's (a baby's heart rate should be 120ish). so all the doctors and nurses were standing around staring at us. they called down the top pediatrician who is a neonatal specialist because they thought he might have malignant hypothermia which effects about 1 in 200 kids after anaesthesia. I was so scared and of course i was alone cause it was only supposed to be a 30 minute thing. by this time it was almost noon and the doctor decoded he was having an allergic reaction to the anaesthesia and he needed to be admitted. at this point he had a fever and needed an I.V. it took 5 nurses and phlebotomists and hour to find a vein on my poor baby. David was out of town and I finally broke down and called my mom in tears and told her to come to the hospital, I was so scared. She got there and preceded to yell at me for not eating all day and she knew cause i was shaking a ton and didn't even know it.

Over the next 2 days his fevers went up and down so high that they were uncomfortable letting him go home. Dr. Qwak thinks because his ears were so infected some other bacteria just moved in and made itself at home so they blasted him with antibiotics for the next 2 days and by about 5 pm on the 3rd they finally discharged us with no real answers except that he is probably allergic to anaesthesia. but he was his usual charming self and made friends with all the doctors and nurses. he is my happy buy but it was a very scary few days.

Pickles and other things

Parker is starting more and more to want whatever you are eating and the other day it was a pickle that david was eating. At first it was so funny cause his facial expression was total shocked but then he surprised us by not wanting to give it back. He had a hay day until he dropped it on the floor and then he was pissed. So we immediatley got him a new one and took a few bites out of it so he could suck the juice.

Parker is also getting his 3rd tooth on the top. I can see that it is right there wanting to pop through and i wish it would cause he is so cranky. I know everyone says he should be crawling by now (he will be 9 months on the 14th) but he just dosent even seem to care about it just like his mommy didn't when she was a baby. Don't get me wrong he sits up and scoots backward so he is mobile but he gets so mad when he is trying to get something and he goes backwards instead of forwards. It is so funny. But all in all he is doing great, he feels so much better since he got his ear tubes in and he is finally sleeping again. YAY for mommy. here are some pickle pics
