Busy, Busy

So things, have been busy around here. Yesterday my Granny and PawPaw arrived from Alabama. They are staying for a week to visit. My Granny is an awesome cook and we will be eating so good for the next week. lol We are so glad to have them here for a visit. Addie has already taken to them. This morning they stayed with Addie because we had to take Connor in for "surgery". PawPaw took a little nap this morning and from what I hear from Granny, he woke up with a stash of toys on top of him from Addie. My sweet girl is sharing. lol
So about Connor's "surgery". I dunno what I should really call it. It's not really surgery but it was something important and he was put to sleep..... He was put to sleep for a hearing test, to take out the tube in his ear, and clean his ears. Don't go thinking I am a bad mom bc he needed his ears cleaned. He has abnormally small canals that cause a wax problem for him and this will be an ongoing problem for him. It is nothing we can help. Connor was in a great mood for being woken up at 5:45....until they gave him Versed(spelling, sorry mom the anesthesia lady but I am just guessing) 3 of us were restraining him and he spit just about all of it out. Luckily it was only to relax him and not the real thing. lol He had just enough to make him cranky instead of relaxed. They took him back and about 45 min-1 hour later he was done. I dunno whether to call our news good or bad. The good news is the hearing test was normal but the bad news is that we have no answers for Connor's EXTREME issues with noise. Now we must further evaluate and investigate to look into the sensory type stuff. As the doctor put it, we now know that his hardwiring is normal so it seems his perceptions of sounds is the problem. So it is good that his hearing is normal but it still leaves us with no answers about his noise issues. Everything else went good too. He removed the tube that was left and cleaned his ears. We will be seeing the ENT again soon to see how much wax has accumulated to see how often this will be a problem as well as discuss further evaluations for Connor's noise issues. When we got to see Connor he was still unaware and kinda upset. He was fine when he got to come to me though. He took his Teddy with him to surgery and they bandaged Teddy's ear up. They also gave Connor his mask to bring home and his stuff that held his IV on his arm(gauze and board). When we were leaving we quickly realized how loopy Doodles was. He was jabbering crazy talk and could not even stand up. He was quite hilarious. Wes and I laughed all the way to the car and all the way home. When we got home he still couldn't stand well. About an hour later though he was back to his wild self. You would never even know he was put to sleep or anything. So all is well and Connor is back to normal.
I am really tired so sorry if this post is all over the place. I am going to post some pics and go to bed.

Doodles giving Teddy the gas. lol


Addie loves to swing and wanted another turn.

Addie and Granny having a good time.


Addie loves sliding. She was laughing and snorting the whole time.


Addie gave it her best shot to get to the top.....


And then she pouted and got mad when she couldn't do it.


Bracing himself for the bottom going down face first!
