To Canton and Back

Saturday, we drove to Canton,TX to meet Josh's family.
Andrew napping on the way.

 

 Look what I found in Canton.  "I wonder if it's my old car?"

Storms in the area foiled our plans to spend some time at the park.
So it was Andrew time at Applebees instead!

The visit was extended with Jeanna, Dennis & Mary
following us back to Frisco for some spontaneous fun in Frisco!

 

A great time was had by all!!

ENT Follow-up Appt

Today was Andrew's 3 week check-up (status post ear tubes) with Dr Mehendale.

 

The report was good. Hearing is back at normal range.

The tubes are still in place and looking good.
Next check-up in 6 months.

Andrew's New Hat

Andrew got a new hat in his Easter basket.
Today he was playing in his room and came out wearing it.

 

Big Boy Bed

Last week, Josh removed the front crib rail of Andrew's crib and replaced it with the toddler bed rail.
Now Andrew can get in and out of bed on his own.

The Sweeper

Andrew loves to help do chores!

Keep up the good work Andrew!!

Enchiladas with Andrew

Since mom is still out of town, we called Dad and asked him if he wanted to come over for enchiladas on Sunday.  We enjoyed a great meal and a new tradition has begun "Sunday dinner with Andrew".

Myringotomy with PE tubes

Andrew has been having repeated ear infections since October 2012.
He had an ENT consultation with Dr Mehendale and it was found he was a good candidate for tubes in both of his ears. A myringotomy is an outpatient surgical procedure where an incision is made in the tympanic membrane (eardrum).

Ear tubes, or tympanostomy tubes, are small tubes open at both ends that are inserted into the incisions in the eardrums during a myringotomy. The tubes come in various shapes and sizes and are made of plastic, metal, or both. They are left in place until they fall out by themselves or until they are removed by a doctor. Ear tubes are also sometimes called ventilation tubes.

This is a photo of Andrew at his consultation appt with Dr. Neelesh Mehendale. Click here for a photo of Dr Mehendale - http://www.enttex.net/our-doctors/

Andrew had his procedure done on March 22nd. He was given only mild sedation, the whole procedure took less than 10 minutes. He is shown here a "little" loopy on his Tylenol/sedation mixture.

He was a very good patient and recovered very well.

His 3 week follow-up appt is scheduled for April 17th.
