New Life

I love this time of year..

We planted some tulips in our front garden in October not knowing what would happen this April. But look what we found today.

Lots and lots of beautiful tulips coming our way!

Getting Bigger

...Is it not?

Soonest doctor visit we can get at the Denver Children's ENT center is on April 15th. Will it explode by then?

Please no.

Dear Nathan

You have no idea how hard this time has been for your mama. But then again, I'm sure this time has been very hard for you too. 8 weeks ago, none of this ever existed and you were a happy boy, so carefree. Amazing how time can change things..

Can't wait til we get back to that time of carefree-ness and living life as a 2 year old should, but until then, we'll keep testing, poking, and proding until we find out how you can be fixed.

Pediatrician, ear nose throat specialist, cat scan, shots, allergic reactions, more cat scans, surgery..when will it end?

But we are bound and determined to get you better.

And that we will. Might take a while, but we will.

We love you, little buddy.

Nathan's first cat scan March 19, 2010

Next one scheduled March 30, 2010

Is There a Stronger Word than Hate?

My emotions got the best of me last week when my little Nathan went through this:


It's hard to say that you might actually hate something. But yes, I think I do. Last week I developed a strong hatred towards all of those nasty 'in' medicines. I'm talking about you, augmentin. And clindomyacin. And amoxicillin. And penicillin. All of you. You're not invited into our home anymore. Even though you were trying to help, you ended up making things worse. What a friend you were.


Poor Nathan. He tried hard to be happy despite how badly he was itchin and scratchin. I'm so glad that's all over.

Now off to combat the initial problem...
