Appointment set for Perinatologist

Well I finally decided I am ready to make an appointment with a perinatologist.

Since Sean was a preemie, the stroke, the hole in his brain and everything else my OBGYN and I decided it would be best for Patrick and I to have a consult before we are pregnant.

So I have some questions to ask already but I have never been to the peri and I know I will not be able to think of all of the questions I should ask.

My main one is I wanted to make sure we have done everything and every test to make sure that this won't happen the second time around.

But please help and let me know which questions I should ask.

Thanks,

Erin

Cutting the lawn with daddy

So Patrick went outside this weekend to cut the grass and Sean said Mommy I want to go too.

We got dressed and he had to wear his fireman hat too. His grandma bought him a bubble blowing lawn more.

Sean told me he needed a lawn bag just like daddy..... luckily I had a brown paper bag from Jewel he could use to for it.

He helped daddy cut the grass and pick up sticks. Sean amazes me daily with all of things he can do and is learning.

He is amazing with how much he can do and everything he has overcome in his life this far. Here are to many many many more amazing things to come.

Happy 4th of July

We just wanted to wish everyone a happy and safe 4th of July. Have fun and be safe while celebrating a great day!

Sean was scared of the fireworks last night especially the loud booms and tonight looks like fireworks may be rained out and not sure if we will go again but some of neighbors may blow some off.

Sean is getting so big and way to quickly. Just wanted to make this short and sweet and share a few new pictures of Sean from this weekend. We had a huge BBQ yesterday at our house and we are all still worn out and some of us a little hung over. Hmmm.

Be safe and enjoy this time with your family and friends!

Year 3 in review

Year 2 in review of Sean

Here you go. I know you were all waiting for it:) Year 3 to date coming soon.
Here are a few of the thousands upon thousands of pictures I have.

The first year of Sean

Here are a few pictures of Sean's first year of life. I can not believe how much he has changed. Look for year 2 and part of 3 soon.

Sean fell and hit his head on the cement

So Sean has fallen a lot lately and it is starting to make me nervous.

On Monday we played at the pool with Amanda and Leah, which was LOTS of fun. Sean wanted to play on the park afterwards and was climbing up the mountain climber and fell off and hit the back of his head. He was fine, he acted fine all night and the next day,

On Tuesday at school I get a call from the nurse and I said uh oh what happened. Sean fell on the cement and has a bump on his head, arms, knees.

Tuesday afternoon he got home and we went and saw the doctor I just wanted to make sure everything was okay. He checked him out and all is fine just a few bumps and bruises.

Yesterday he kept grabbing on to me or other people to catch his balance. Well this morning I looked at him and his one leg is a little longer than the other. The doctor and therapists told me this could happen especially since the stroke sometimes the effected side could grow slower. So now we get to do the stretching he loves oh so much (I wish) even more times a day.

Here are a few pictures from yesterday you can only see the bump/bruise on his forehead. It is smaller than it was the day before, the day before it was protruding from his head. And we are also waiting for an SMO for his right foot the effected since the AFO is causing bruising around his leg:(.
