Our Day at Cedar Hill Farms Pumpkin Patch

October 24, 2009

Today the weather was PERFECT. The sun was shining with a nice breeze. I put Nicholas in his fall outfit and off we went. We met Meredith and her kids there and they had a BLAST. We got to ride the train, petting zoo, feed the animals, watch the chicken show, and of course the hayride to the pumpkin patch. Nicholas chose a small pumpkin that we will paint for halloween.

He had a great time with Hayden and Zaidee. Nicholas played so hard that we were not even out of the field and he was asleep in the car. Nicholas once again amazes me each day with his spiritual gifts. I love him so much. Chris and I are such happy parents and very lucky to have Nicholas.

Another Surgery

October 20, 2009

Nicholas is currently seeing a speech therapist once a week. We decided to have a hearing test done in which he failed. We saw an ENT doctor and both ears was full of fluid. That explains the speech problems and hearing test. We had surgery today to have tubes put in both ears and adnoids removed. Dr Thane Duncan, Midsouth Ear Nose and Throat, did the surgery. We were very pleased with Dr. Duncan and the results. The hardest part is seeing him wake up in recovery. They lay there looking so helpless and scared.

Nicholas is doin very well since his surgery. He was up playing and eating everything in sight that afternoon. Boy he is one strong kiddo. I would still be laid up in the bed lol....
The only thing I can say is giving him medicine twice a day is a chore. It takes me and Chris. Oh boy it is not fun but we are almost done. Thank god.

He is starting to let me know sounds he is hearing now. All these months I thought he heard everything. He did in a muffled sound. Poor baby. He is hearing everything now. Before we know it he will start speaking with no problems.

thank you to my family and friends for your prayers.

Children Museum with Mommy and Daddy

October 16, 2009

Today was all about being together. Just the 3 of us. We had lunch at Fresh Slices and went to the Children's Museum. Nicholas got to dressup like a fireman. He rung the sirens, played dentist, went fishing with daddy, and flew a plane. He had a great time.

We are so blessed. Nicholas has adjusted so well to us and his surroundings. God knew what he was doin long before we even had it figured out. Nicholas makes me so happy and proud to call him my son. Chris and I are amazed everyday with his spiritual growings being a child of God.
