Last week Isaac's teacher was testing the kids on their reading abilities and comprehension. 92% and above is passing. Isaac got 100% on level 8, which is grade 2. So he fully reads and understands everything read at a second grade reading level. WoW! And this is coming from a child that has a speech delay. Amazing. Its crazy how far he has come from the begining of the year.
First Math and now Reading...Im one proud momma.

Isaac's Surgery
45 minutes, plus a couple hours of recovery. Its finally done and over with. Goodbye tonsils and adenoids and welcome better breathing and no throat issues. He is going to feel like a new boy. No more constant nose congestion and no more constant throat pain (like strep). The poor boys adenoids were so large that it blocked 3/4ths of his nasal passages and stuff. And his tonsils were big and ugly (touching like usual), same old same old.
The dr had been using something new, instead of doing it the usual electrical way. He is using a new knife the reduces the pain level, more better than the other. He was his 8th patient and so far so good.
His recovery was okay. A little nausea/vomiting, but was good to go afterwards. He has been sleepy with water and popsicles today. Foods start tomorrow and he cant wait. He sooooo wanted mashed potatoes and Rice Krispies. Pain level is good. Just a itty bitty bit he says (uses his fingers to show).
His is sleeping SOUNDLY (no snoring, yay) for the first time in years. The humidifier we got too is helping as well.
Meds...he is our lil druggie. A HUGE bottle, with a large bottle on the side (since they didn't have a big enough bottle for it all), of Tylenol w/Codeine and also Amox.
School...the earliest to go back is Monday. But NO Phy Ed or Recess for at least 2 weeks. One bummed out boy.

It all started back in 2004 (technically in 2003). First there was Isaac (Feb 2004). Then Ella, 10 months later (Dec 2004). Carson came a year after (Jan 2006). Then a couple years break til there was Kianna (May 2008). Then Owen, 5 months later (Oct 2008). And now after another 2 years break....soon-to-be #6!!! CONGRATULATIONS Brain and Jessica on expecting their #3 mid-October.
I keep on telling everyone, "3 the the new 2"...just go for it and you won't be disappointed ;) One for each arm, and one for the middle, to close, for a big huge family hug.
