Recovery, not always easy..

I hope everyone had a very Merry Christmas and preparing for a Happy New Year!

The winter colds have come upon us so we have stayed homebound for majority of the week. Everyone seems to be on the mend but Jax is more fatigued than usual and eyelids look slightly swollen. We took a trip to the pediatrician's today, he said the left ear is red & eyes watery from cold/sinus, which could explain the fatigue but we should still discuss w/ neuro. Unfortunately, right now any little irritation can really affect him. Doc prescribed antiobiotics for the ear. Made a call to Children's and they have set tentative scans for Tues. just in case things don't improve. We will see how he feels over the weekend. I'm not exactly sure why he isn't opening his eyes fully, swelling from surgery?  I may need to call eye doc as well. Of course first thought is neuro related but I don't want to miss something else that could be going on. Praying this resolves sooner than later!

Jax is scheduled to start school next week, I really hope he is still able to. He will be upset if he has to wait any longer. He also resumes his therapy schedule next week which he definitely benefits from.

We go to get the new afo's/night splints tomorrow at Children's. Jax will be excited to see his new Bronco designed boots. 

Brendan is enjoying winter break and gets to go bird hunting with dad & cousins tomorrow. He is really excited and hopes to shoot a coyote. Oh great!
