Happy Easter (A few days Late)!!

For being healthy most of the winter we got hit the past 2 weeks. Jakob was recovering from Croup, slowly. Another trip to the doctor and additional phones calls to the on call doctors, he finally recovered. It took through Easter before he was 100%. So well over a week. Of course I had to come down with it while he was sick. I had a cold all last week. After a few calls to the doctors I ended up in ER on Sunday night. Their comment was a Severe ear infection. After taking the medication throwing up all Sunday night and all day Monday I then had blood draining out of my ear. Usually not a good sign. For those of you that don't know I have had a few ear surgery's in the past and it on this ear. I already can't hear so no big deal really. A trip to the doctor on Monday afternoon sent us to the ENT yesterday. My doctor that I worked with in the past is no longer in practice so I have a new doctor. After meeting this doctor I now have an MRI scheduled on Friday. Should be routine, he just wants to compare to the last ones and see how things look. He definately says my ear doesn't look normal, which we already knew, but what is it suppose to look like - who knows. Today after almost 2 full weeks I am back to work a full day. It feels good to be back, but tiring as well. We are hopefully on the up swing. No results from the MRI until April 29, so don't expect anything on that.

For EASTER - Happy Easter Everyone!
It was both of the boys 1st Easter. We kept pretty low key. However they both had styling new outfits. Enjoy the pics.




Looking forward to our normal routine again for a few weeks anyway. We have Dutch Costume pictures coming in the next few weeks. Also Ethan has turned 3 months old yesterday, so I will be sure to get some good 3 month photos of him for everyone. I can't believe he is 3 months already. He is holding his head up well. He can also hold his body straight when you hold him. A huge relief to me, as it frees up a hand to attend to Jakob. Overall doing well and loving this warm weather.
Lots of Love,
Rick, Mandi, Jakob & Ethan
