And We're Sick

Well, seems to be the story lately. My Hunter Bunter is sick. He started vomiting yesterday and was pretty crabby. I don't blame him. He required quite a bit of O2 last night, but I think he was just exhausted for not feeling good. Today he hung out and took it easy. I told him if he really didn't want to go to school tomorrow he could have just told me. Hopefully this too will pass sooner than later.

Hayden is still adjusting to school. After Monday and Tuesday last week he asked if he could have Wednesday off. Dad said if he was good he could have Monday off... to bad he didn't quite get that deal. : ) Otherwise he is doing good.

Harrison is just being little Harrison and getting in to trouble as usual. I think he is enjoying the time at the babysitter without his brother. It is probably good for both of them. Now the question is... will they get along better when they are at home now? I guess we will just have to wait and see.

Hope this finds you all well. We will keep you updated. God Bless

School Time

Can you believe it is time for school already!

Yesterday was Hayden's first day of Kindergarten. Hard to believe he is already old enough for Kindergarten. Neil and I watched him get on the school bus in the morning. His bus driver is actually his soccer coach from Summer, Mr. Ron. We really like him, so that was nice. Funny enough, I got an email from one of the teachers that knows Hunter letting me know she checked in on him and he was doing wonderful. Too funny, she knows me way too well! I raced home to make sure I was there when Hayden got off the buss.... what a look of exhaustion. Hayden had that glazed over look. He played for a while with the neighbor, then he sat down to watch Ghostbusters and was down for the count. Hopefully he adjusts soon to being in school all day.

Hunter started school yesterday also. On Tuesday and Thursday's his teacher will be coming to work with him at home. This is the teacher he has had since he started early childhood when he was 3. On Wednesday's Hunter will go to school all day. We want to ease in to this and see how things go. He is finally healthy I do not want to repeat last year. As for how he did for the teacher yesterday, he was an absolute STAR yesterday! He wore his speaker valve for over 6 hours yesterday, and was very very attentive and visual. It is so wonderful to see him having a great day! I think he knows that now that he is in 2nd grade he has to kick it up a notch. Ok... just kidding. That was probably the hardest part of yesterday. I try not to think about the fact that Hunter is suppose to be in 2nd grade, and I continue to just focus on him, although some days like yesterday can be harder than others.

Yesterday was Mr. Harrison's first day at daycare with no brother by his side. Interesting new thing for him. All was fine, just as I expected. Maybe they will enjoy each others company more now in the evening....

Hope this finds everyone well. Have a fabulous day. God Bless

On A Roll

Well, we seem to be on a roll these last few weeks. We seem to have a regime down that may be working for the Huntman. Two days, no poop, we irrigate. That seems to help get him over the hump. Considering the alternatives right now, this works.

Hayden gets to go see an Orthopedic doctor regarding his tippie toe walking, which is continuing to get worse. We are going to take him to the same Orthopedic Dr. that Hunter sees, that is scheduled for next Friday. Then, depending on what he has to see we may need to take him to see a Neurologist. That stinks, since Hunter's neurologist is at Mayo for a year... this means to Madison we will go. So I ask myself, is this a test ????? Seriously... but then I remind myself it can always be worse. So, overall things have been good in the Woldt household, we really can't complain.

We went to Wisconsin Dells last weekend and had a great time. Hunter really seemed to enjoy it much more that he ever has when we went to Blue Harbor or Tundra Lodge. We are working on getting Hayden ready for Kindergarten, how exciting is this! It is hard to believe it is that time already... then again it is hard to believe Hair bear is going to be two.

Hope this finds everyone well. Have a great weekend. I will try to get some new photos posted of the boys.

God Bless

The Ride Continues....

Poop still seems to be an issue on this end of the world. We are starting our bowel irrigation's today. I know... great way to start out a post hey! Hopefully this does the trick... I guess we'll find out.

Hayden is home sick today.... 103 temp, so now we have to make sure he stays away from his brothers. I always say you know he is sick when he is actually in bed sleeping. He's a busy guy like his mom so this is very uncommon for him.

Harrison had a fever Friday and Saturday but that was about it. Not this high, and didn't seem to slow him down so hopefully this is what Hayden has and by tomorrow he feels better.

My mom has been in the hospital since Thursday. The Dr's thought she had a stroke, but it ended up being that her right inner ear is not working, and probably an infection. So, in the realm of things, some drugs and rest and she should be feeling better.

So as usual, never a dull moment. Hope this finds everyone well. Have a great day! God Bless

Just As Mom Thought

Do you ever ask yourself if you should just do what you think is right? I should have went with what my gut instinct was yesterday, because that is exactly what the Dr said today.

It seems like Hunter's bowels just slow down after 4 or 5 weeks. We seem to go good for a while and then after about 4 or 5 weeks we seem to hit a wall. The plan is to continue to do what we are doing now, but on the 3rd day if he has not stooled a lot we should start with 24 hours of rectal irrigation's. Thank goodness I am already a pro at this.

Hopefully this will do the trick and keep him from having another explosive day like he did yesterday. He is still not tolerating feeding well today, so we are going to do the wonderful pedialyte and ease him back in to feedings after his bowels calm down.

Poor little man. We continue to pray this gets him over the hump. Next thing will be to do a Valium enema and take a look and see if there is a narrowing or suture that are causing him issues. Hoping we don't have to travel that road, that comes with a whole new set of issues.

Thanks for checking in on Hunter. God Bless

And We Wait

Yep, that is the truth, and we wait. Hunter is having some GI issues, again. After talking with Pediatricians office and GI in Madison we went in to the Peds office and had an X-Ray to see what is going on. Now, we have to sit and try to be patient.... all of you that know me know that is not one of my finer qualities. I guess, I just want to get to the bottom of this. I feel so bad for the little man, seems like we put a bandaid on things, and before you know it we start having issues again.

Please pray that we get Hunter's GI issues under control once and for all. We'll keep you posted.

God Bless

So Big!

So Big! That is sort of an oxymoron when I am talking about my boys. Big, they are not. Vertically challenged, that is more like it. I always joke about how my boys are such little peanuts, must be because they all have such big hearts and so much love to give.

We recently had new pictures taken. As I look through all the pictures, it reminds me just how "big" our boys are getting. It reminds me just how lucky I really am and how different all their personalities are.

Here is a perfect example. We were trying so hard to get a new family picture.... leave it to Hayden to always make it interesting. The one you think would be posing for the camera, was but in the wrong way.

I do have to say he always keeps things interesting. But, the reality is this is our family. This is really the perfect picture that truly represents our family.

Then there is our precious Hunter. Can you say breathtaking? What a stud!

Then there is Mr. Hayden, who really is such a loving guy

And last but not least my little pistol!

All the joys of my life. How perfect!

God Bless
