And baby makes three...: May 2011

Hi everyone. It's been awhile. Life has gotten VERY busy since starting my new job. It's going great though!! I have never worked this hard. I am working 8:30-5:30ish. Everyone I work with is so positive and dedicated to the credit union. It's very refreshing and makes you want to work harder.

Now on to the Ella update... she got another double ear infection Monday!! :( Poor girl just can't catch a break! :( This is her 5th ear infection in 6 weeks. Her doctor is sending us to an ENT (ear nose & throat) specialist to discuss tubes. Her doctor said getting that many ear infections can be dangerous as it can effect their long term hearing. The surgery to add tubes into her ears would be a quick day surgery, they would sedate Ella, cut a small incision into her ear drums and insert the (invisible to the naked eye) tube. The tube would allow any fluid that collects in the ear to drain freely. Ear infections are caused when the fluid cannot drain. Tubes are very common these days, the risks are extremely minimal and the results are great!! Cody and I want to do anything we can to improve her quality of life. These ear infections are painful and usually stick around for a week. We will keep you all updated after the appointment on the 26th.

Cody leaves for Boston early this coming Tuesday morning. He is going for work. He will be back late Friday night. Ella and I will sure miss him! Especially since I have my new job! It's going to be a crazy week and I am sure it will fly by.

Enjoy pictures from the last couple weeks! :)
