Late again!!

Here we are again, late in getting the posting done. This time I have an excuse...I have been sick this week. Its a nasty cold and unfortunately, I have shared it. Brayden hasn't been feeling real well either, but he doesn't seem to have it quite as bad as I have had it.

On Monday we went in for Brayden's flu shot booster, ( I haven't had a flu shot at all:-)), he did ok until the nurse came into the room with stuff in her hand, and it was the same nurse that gave the last shots. Daddy wasn't with me this time, so it was all up to me to help her contain him. He was NOT going to straighten his leg out for her to give the shot either, she said he was a strong little guy. He had tons of determination in holding his knee up!! We got the shot overwith finally and the tears stopped almost immediately. The doctor looked in his ears for me too, since we were there, I wanted to know if the drops were making any headway in clearing out the ears. Finally we can see the eardrum in the left ear. He said it was a little dull but we can see it. Now we can stop the drops and just do normal things. I ordered an otoscope for myself, ya know Dr. Mom, but its nice to see what I have to work with. I do want to take him back into our audiologist and have her look again to see if there is anything else that we need to work on. Brayden continues to try to talk a lot, he really is getting vocal. He isn't able to make things sound just like we say them, but he sure tries hard. It probably won't be long and he will be talking up a storm. For now though we still have to guess at what he wants and needs most of the time.

Want to take a moment to say congratulations to Noah and Becky on their new little boy. They will be bringing him home at the end of the month, end of the year. What an ending for them this year. We are sooo excited for them and know that the next trip over to Russia will be sooo much more fun than this first one was.
