I can't stand blogging out of order, but sometimes stuff happens where you just have to. I thank everyone for your prayers for Kye's Surgery and didn't want to leave you hanging for like a month to find out what all happened. Kye had surgery on Monday April 2nd. We got home from Casey's wedding weekend Sunday morning then had our neighborhood Easter Egg Hunt that afternoon (many posts to come on both, I promise!). It was nice to stay busy. It helped me keep my mind off things. Sunday night I started preparing for Monday. We made sure Kye had a LOT to drink right before bed since he wouldn't be allowed to eat or drink anything after midnight (not that he has ever had anything to drink or eat after bedtime anyway!). We also put him to sleep in his favorite Woody pjs so we could just grab him and go the next morning. To prepare for surgery I read this blog post from The Babywise Mom. I always trust Val's advice on anything parenting related and again s...
Just writing the title of this post gives me a stomach ache. I'm a little hesitant to write this after what happened the last time I requested for personal prayers for my own little family but I know that so many of you want to pray for Kye and I know those prayers will help him in this so I'm writing it anyway! I wrote awhile back about Kye's situation (you can get caught up here ). After writing that post I got in touch with Kye's pediatrician to see about going for a second opinion somewhere locally. Turns out they sent us to Tifton because it's the closest place where a urologist will actually see children. They told me that if Dr. Peters recommend the surgery then he needs to have it. I called back to Dr. Peters office and explained to them that the first visit I was so nervous that I totally spaced out and didn't ask enough questions to really understand. She told me that if we didn't do the surgery that he would start having more problems so w...
Soon after Brittlynn was born Kye started having potty issues. Honestly, Zach and I both thought it was for attention and that he was doing the typical regression thing we'd heard about when children welcome in a new sibling. Kye has been using the potty since he was 18 months old. He's been completely potty trained, night and day, since around two years old. In January he started going to the bathroom more frequently and started having occasional accidents. We dealt with it the best we could, we didn't punish him. We took him to the potty whenever he asked to go (including the MANY times at naps and night) and just changed his clothes whenever an accident occurred. It seemed to get more and more frequent and I began to notice that he wasn't only doing it at times where he might be wanting attention. We were watching a movie and he got up and went potty, on his own, four times in less than an hour. That doesn't make sense. My first thought was UTI. Zach took him ...
