Reese's post-op appt.

Today Reese had his post-op appointment.  It was pretty much what we expected.  The right tube did come out, but the duct seems to be draining well.  The left tube is still in and the eye is still tearing quite a bit.  Dr. Khammar said that it does sometimes continue to tear until the tube is removed.  After the tube is removed the opening is bigger and the duct can drain more effectively.  We'll take a wait and see approach as long as the eye doesn't seem to get worse.  It has been a tiny bit "goopy" looking, so I have to watch it carefully to make sure it doesn't get infected.  Other than that we discussed the study that they want to enroll him in for far-sighted kids.  They are still waiting on approval, which they know they will get.  They asked if we would enroll all 3 boys in the study.  I happily accepted the offer!  We will get paid for the visits and if they get glasses they will be paid for as well.  Why not?!  To me the best part is that they get followed the next 3 years to see how their eyes are doing.  We scheduled a 1 1/2 hour block of time to get Reese's tubes out and do the initial evaluation of all of their eyes for the study.  We know Reese qualifies and Noah was at very least on the borderline, so the only question is Aiden.  We'll see.  I scheduled the appointment while we were there.  They gave us July 8.  Being that my due date is June 30 it's a tentative appointment based on when this little one decides to make an appearnce.

After I posted about Aiden having a fever last week Noah came down with a fever.  The spent the day falling asleep on the couch and me.  Aiden had the fever Tuesday afternoon and Wednesday.  It went away Wednesday afternoon and came back Thursday.  Noah only had it Wednesday.  Neither of them really had other symptoms though.  Strange.  Aiden has still been tired and crabby.  He has been messing with his ears too, so we'll see if that turns into anything.  I don't want to take him in unless I know he needs to go in and I don't want him on an antibiotic for his ears unless it's absolutely necessary.  We're just trying to wait it out and see how it goes. 

I have a dr. appointment on Wednesday. The time is flying by!  We have 11 weeks, at most, before this baby comes.  We are so unprepared!  :)  So what if she comes and has no name...right?
