Behind the scenes....

Oh, so you thought the past 6 weeks have been all sunshines and rainbows?? I guess I did leave out the fact that we have visited some form of medical facility 11 (that's right, ELEVEN) times in the first 6 weeks of Aven being home. Honestly, I have just been so happy to have our daughter home that I guess I didn't even realize all of the less than happy things going on around me:) Let's recap.....

Week 1

 >Avens first doctors visit= double ear infection and antibiotics 

 >Full Blood work-up for Aven at Rex

Week 2

>Boys to urgent care ON CHRISTMAS DAY for pink eye and ear infections (2 sets of eye drops and antibiotics)

>Aven back for round 2 of blood work

Week 3

>Aven to the doctor for ear check and vaccines--round 2 of antibiotics for double ear infection

Week 4

>Levi to the doctor-- left with breathing treatments and oral steroids

>Levi to the doctor for a second time for a breathing check

Week 5-

>Aven to the doctor for ear check and vaccines (ears are clear!!) Levi went to get his breathing checked one last time. (Brody was there too---all 3 at the dr. was so much fun:)

Week 6- 

>Aven went to Rex for one last blood draw

>Brody went to the doctor for headaches and high fever. Ended up having 2 antibiotic shots and a blood culture done  because they could not figure out what in the world he had!

>Brody back to the doctor for a follow up check and 2 more antibiotic shots and was put on Tamiflu in case he had the flu (test was negative) 

I feel like I should sing, "On the 6th week of Aven home my kiddos gave to meeeee....11 doctor visits, 4 rounds of antibiotics, 2 sets of eye drops, 4 full blood work ups, 4 antibiotic shots, 1 week of tamiflu, 1 week of oral steroids,  a lot of breathing treatments, and some vaccines thrown in there toooooo."  
Welcome to the family, Aven!
