Weston Surgery!!!

This is what happens when your 1 year old has to feed himself.... Thank heavens for sinks with sprayers and bath tubs!!

Landen was sitting on the couch then Madi then Weston wanted to join so here they all are sitting on the top of the couch loving it! Silly kids!!

Brett was taking pictures of Madi and Weston decided he wanted his taken so he would scream and yell until Brett would take a picture of Weston then turn around to snap a couple more of Madi then Weston would scream and yell again until Brett would take another picture of him! I was laughing so hard this little boy is a goof ball!

Apparently pudding goatees are the new in thing!!

Playing in the snow outback of our house! Weston stood pretty much the whole time until Brett had him sit down on his lap! Madi actually got down all by herself and was throwing snow with Landen and made snow angels and everything!

This was the day of Weston's surgery. The hospital had this little window so I put Weston in it so he could look out over the stairs and stuff. He liked it for a few minutes then he wanted out!!

West in his cute little hospital outfit!! The poor baby didn't eat all day. His surgery was supposed to be at 11 but it ended up being between 12 and 1pm. He actually did really well Brett and I were both surprised!!

He loved this little car! He would flirt with all the nurses and they all absolutely fell in love with him!! We chased him around and he would giggle so hard it was so cute! The nurses said they haven't heard that much laughter from a little kid in the longest time there in the hospital!

Playing a little piano thing.

After the surgery I went back with Wes until he was stabilized more and then they moved us to a different little room where Brett was waiting for us. He looks so puffy and stuff in this picture but it went away really fast.

See not so puffy anymore!! He drank so much apple juice and ate a ton of graham crackers the nurses were scared he was going to throw it all up but he held it all down!
Over all the surgery went really well. He gave us a scare when he was coming out of anesthesia he wouldn't breath on his own and when he was first coming out of it he had a severe asthma attack, and they could not get him to start breathing on his own. They had to breath for him off and on for a little while and then they gave him a few breathing treatments and a bunch of steroids and eventually he started shallow breathing by himself and after more breathing treatments he started to breath a lot better. The anesthesiologist said she would not be surprised if he has asthma and stuff when he gets older which doesn't surprise me because my dad and brothers have bad asthma and Brett did when he was little and sometimes now. We will see though. Anyway he is doing so good. A little fussy but overall really good!! Its like he never had surgery the day he came home he was going crazy walking around and trying to tackle his sister and everything! But then he has down time where he wants to be cuddled and held and loved. I love those moments. On top of the surgery he is teething like crazy and his molars refuse to poke through so he is just extra fussy! Life has been crazy though because Madi has been super fussy and cranky and clingy also so its been pretty rough go but things are calming down a little bit now. Thank heavens I have help with Renee living here and Brett was home for a couple days to help out. My mom was awesome though and made us dinner that night and cleaned my kitchen and Renee picked up my front room and everything so we didn't come home to a disaster. My cousin Amber watched Madi all day and I think our little girls had so much fun together! They actually play really nice together it surprises me! Anyway back to running after my kids and feeding them! I swear Wes is going to eat us out of house and home when he gets older!! hahaha!
