Piece of cake for a 5 year old! Ice Cream, Jello...... What more could they possibly want? Hang in there Becky and Micheal. Could I send you guys a bigger plate? :o)

Holly said...

He must get his adenoids from YOU! Good luck with all that! Why would you want to stay home for more than a couple weeks at a time anyway?

No popcorn for a few weeks after Carter's surgery, please! Um, we made that mistake and wound up back in the hospital. The mists of time have obscured my memory, but it seems that on the fifth day post-surgery the risk of the scab breaking loose and causing bleeding to occur is statistically more likely than on any other day. I picked that little tidbit of info up a long time ago though, so maybe it's outdated. But beside our Greg, I know of another boy it happened to.
I hope praying is allowed at your party/parties!

Oh man! Your insurance company's got to love you guys :) he, he!!! Well, at least you meet your deductible early then the sky's the limit, right?!?!

Glad his counts are better (?) They seem to jump around so much, I didn't realize that blood levels could change so quickly and drastically. Cute pic of the boys too...

WOW! You guys have definitely had your fill of hospitals! Praying for a successful surgery and lots of ice cream eating!

Jackson, keep chugging along! You are amazing!

What I love about Jax: Whenever anyone asks him how he is doing, his answer is always "Great!" What I love about Carter: That mischevious adorable smile-all the time. Party on...

I'm going to miss Carter's adenoids. They make him sound so cool.

Be gone with those nasty adenoids! Nathan hasn't had one sinus infection since we tossed them to the side.

It really is a great photo Bec. Good job!!

I had to google adenoids. It must be an Andersen thing.
