Surgery Day!!

We are so thankful that Camden's ear surgery went so well! He went back with the nurse, a little upset of course because he was leaving Mommy and Daddy. But, Dr. Salley said that once he was back there he was better. It only lasted about ten minutes and he was out to tell us that Camden came through just fine and his ears had no damage. We were thankful to hear that! We were able to go back and be with him right away. He was trying to wake up and was very confused, so he was scared and upset. It took him about 45 minutes calm down and relax and realize that we had him and everything was going to be ok! By the time we got home, he was asleep and slept for about three hours. Kaylee and Gee brought him balloons and woke him up when they were walking down the hallway, he was pretty disoriented when he woke up but quickly became very excited about seeing his sissy and the big cars balloons =) Thank you everyone for your prayers and support! We love each and every one of you!

A smile and a scream for Santa.....

You can see who the screamer is and who

was happy to see Santa =)

Tonight, we went to visit Santa at the mall. Kaylee has been talking about it for days, so we figured we better dress up and get to see him so she could tell him what she would like to have for Christmas! She absolutely loved him, she say on his lap for about five minutes telling him what she'd like to have. Of course this was just Kaylee and Santa time so I have no idea what she told him! (Should've been listening!!!! Haha) Then, we added Camden to Santa's lap...he was terrified. Screamed the WHOLE time! Bless his heart, he wasn't so fond of Santa! We had a whole night of fun, after we saw Santa we went to have Happy meals and then went to Swaders for games and bowling. The kids had a blast! =) The holiday season is so much fun!

Yay for Kaylee!

We are so proud of our Kaylee bug! She is going on two weeks of sleeping in her bed EVERY night and not getting up to come to Mommy and Daddy's bed! Everyone that knows anything about our family knows that this has been a struggle for her, bless her heart. But, we are finally overcoming fear and gaining confidence that she can do it and is such a big girl! We have had to reward her every morning with a prize when she wakes up, Daddy puts it on her pillow beside her and she is just thrilled over that! Luckily, she is still very happy with dollar store prizes, this could get costly! haha! But I just had to tell everyone how excited I am! She is such a good little girl, shes sweet too. She'll wake up and say "Did I sleep in my bed all night long" ~ hehe, and then she gets sooooo excited that she did! Continue to pray for us, we're praying hard that we've crossed the hump and that she'll continue to do this!

Poor Daddy =/

Daddy went to the Dr. today, he has been having very bad back pain for about 5 weeks. He hurt his back at work, so he has had to do a lot of waiting approval to see different dr's. We finally got an answer today, after the MRI yesterday. He has a herniated disc... =/ He has to have an epidural steriod injection in just a few weeks so help the pain. Hopefully it does because we dont want him to have surgery =/ Please keep him in your prayers!

Camden's precious lil' listeners...

Camden has to have surgery on his little ears, he has had so many ear infections in the past year that the pediatrician referred us to an ear, nose and throat Dr. We saw Dr. Salley this week and he was wonderful! Camden was a champ at the appointment, he just sat there just as still as can be. He had to do a hearing test and Camden did a great job. He is borderline normal with his hearing, which the Dr. expected him to have a little trouble. But he assured us that once he has the surgery that the fluid will drain properly and his hearing test should be excellent! So, keep our family and our little guy in your prayers. Everyone I talk to promises me that their children have had this surgery and it has been just fine, but when you're the Mom and Dad and its your baby's turn its sparks a little anxiety. We know that God is in control and He'll hold him in the palm of His hand all the way through the surgery! Camden should have a great winter with no ear infections, no trips to the Dr. and no more antibiotics! Pray for us!

Daddy can work miracles!!!!!!

First, it was the transition from the crib to the toddler bed, now its no more paci! Camden made it through his very first night without a paci and it was all thanks to Daddy! Can you believe there wasn't even a single tear? He didn't wake up for it all night!!!!! Yay for Camden! He is turning into a big boy so fast! =)
