Dr. Finn

-




Well, for the past few days I have felt pretty lousy, and Finn, being the sweet and precious boy that he is (sometimes) has done his best to nurse his mother back to health. You may ask, "how is this possible - Finn is only 11 weeks old!" You know the old saying "laughter is the best medicine?" Well, Finn certainly kept his ol' Mama laughing for the past few days. Has it helped my symptoms? NO, in this case laughter has done nothing to knock out the ear infection. But, has it made me feel warm and cozy in my heart ? YES. It is definitely more fun to be sick when you can laugh at a sweet baby making ridiculous faces. I love you Finn, even though it sounds like I am heckling you.

Good news - my ENT diagnosed Finn's noisy breathing as Laryngomalacia. According to Wikipedia (which is an extremely reliable source - just ask Michael Scott) laryngomalacia is a very common condition of infancy, in which the soft immature cartilage of the upper larynx collapses inward during inhalation, causing airway obstruction. Dr. Lee assured me that this will clear up with time and we have nothing to worry about.

Today we woke up at 6:30 to prepare for our big day at Universal Studios Islands of Adventure. The shuttle from the hotel left for the park at 8:00 meaning that we had to be downstairs and ready to go at 7:45. At 7:30 we realized that we had to book our spot on the shuttle the night before. Oops. For two people with jobs requiring close attention to detail we completely fall apart in our personal life. Fortunately we were able to purchase a ticket and catch the 8:00 shuttle anyway. The shuttle ride was interesting; we ended up sitting behind a young couple that could have left about 90% of their PDA in their hotel room and it still would have been too much for my taste. When we got to the park we noticed our ticket required that we show I.D. Well, I didn't bring my purse with me. Oops. After reading and rereading the fine print, we lawyerly types figured out an interpretation that would allow me to get into the park without producing photo i.d. We geared up for the fight

Wednesday night I got a strange phone call from Michael; he asked if I could get an ice pack and a couple ibuprofen ready for him.  Check it out . . .   He went to the doctor Thursday morning and came home with a boot, a pressure sock and a pair of crutches.  Looks like he will be out of commission for approximately two months.

On Sunday morning we slept until 9:30!  Finn was up with the sun, of course, but Sam slept until a little after 9:00. When we got up the sun was shining so we decided to hang the boys gourd bird house from Mr. Gene.  So far we have really enjoyed going to church on Sunday night.  Finn specifically told me that he likes night church better because he can get up and play.  The boys had a pajama party at school today.  It was in honor of Ms. Jenn's last day before maternity leave.  Finn was very excited to show his friends his godzilla feet. Big morning for Finn.  Last night was the first night that we have not put a nighttime pull-up on Finn.  He woke up with a dry bed!
