Tubes and such...

 Man this poor little guy.... He has been blessed with not so awesome genetics. Blake and I both had problems with our ears, resulting in tubes for me... so naturally all of our children have struggled when it comes to ears. We went in on a monday to have his ears check since i found blood on his blanket which came from his ear. A ruptured ear drum.The doc said he needed tubes and we could wait or just get it done. Well we waited with bently and it really affected his speech so i wasn't about to do this to ry. So we got it done that thursday.

 Wow was he pissed. He was starving and i woke him from his peaceful slumber. Not happy. This is us at the hospital. Check out that gown. so cute.

 Here he is trying to eat the camera. The surgery went well and super fast. He has been doing great. Thank goodness he is such a happy camper. Thank goodness for me really. :)

And then this picture i just had to share mainly for my blog journal. When ry was 6 weeks old he was laying on my bed while i brushed my teeth. i looked over to him after hearing a wierd noise. Riley was blue. I ran to him and did pediatric hymlic thrusts on his back and he took a breath. ( i never dreamed i would ever have to do that. Thank goodness for CPR) Then about 10 minutes later He was blue again. I called a neighbor (it was 11:30pm) and asked her if she would come lay on the couch at my house. And we headed to the ER. They were very concerned and took xrays and such. Then they told me he needed to be admitted. Blake was in Oregon, and i was all alone with my neighbors juggling my kids. We were there for two nights and three days. Multiple tests were preformed and the conclusion that Riley had severe reflux and had a whey protein allergy. So basically he was allergic to me too. His esophogus was so swollen due to the reflux and my milk that it blocked his airway and caused him to stop breathing. He had to wear a oximetry jacket that measured his o2 and did an alarm if he stopped breathing. NOT FUN. He is now on medication, soy formula and doing fine. I just found these pics on my phone and thought i would write this event down.

Our little Riley has been through so much. But is such a blessing. He is so content and makes me laugh. He has the best little attitude and is so happy. And unlike any of my children sleeps through the night at 3 months old!!! we love him.

As of now he weighs

18.5 lbs

is 15% in height

and has an enormous shaped head that has decided to grow outwards.

He is so stinking cute and we love him so much.
