Wysdom is keeping us really busy. If I had a camera and took a video of the last couple of days....I am positive I could win money from somewhere. Julian is usually out and then Wysdom has a big accident in his diaper. It is not really an accident as he is not potty trained yet. The accident part is that it is a mess. I am home alone with Wysdom. Then I hear Julian and Blyss outside getting ready to come in and I scream...Come Help me. Then it becomes a whole family affair. Blyss gets the bags, Julian holds his hands and legs sometimes. I try to clean him up and then we just run out of hands.....
That's how bad it is? Do your little ones have any accidents. Love to hear some of your funny moments with your little ones.

It's Echo Time Again
Well I am not going to lie. I am a little bit nervous about our appointment this week. We are heading out of town to get an echo done for Wysdom. We will leave at 7am to make it there for a 9:OOam appointment.
I am hoping for some good results. I feel like Wysdom is doing well. There was some concern at our last cardio meeting. Nothing urgent but just something to think about in the future. So we are going for the echo to make sure all is well. They will put him to sleep which is usually fine. We usually go to a smaller hospital, however they will not do an echo on Wysdom without putting him totally under with a breathing tube. He is seen as such a risk that they don't want to do it any other way.
So off we go to a larger hospital where they use a liquid to sedate him. This is much easier as it is just put in his g tube and therefore no tubes in his mouth. They did ask if I thought he would tolerate a different drug that would keep him awake, but just more relaxed. My answer was "Nope..he won't go for that" Really Wysdom has had a lot done and I think he would not allow anyone to touch him even if he was made more relaxed. Ideally this would be the better way. So we will see how it goes.
I did learn that after the age of 3 they do not put children to sleep so he will eventually have to get used to being touched as after 3 years of age he will have to be awake. For all of you that have never seen an echo done it is a painless procedure that is like an ultrasound but over the heart. It doesn't take very long...but to my little man it is awful. He doesn't tolerate a lot of things, and I can't blame him.
Then on Tuesday we go to make casts for his feet for orthotics. I am excited to get this done as I hope it will help Wysdom out. Oh yes and the good news is that he seems to like the Pony Walker. He has figured out how to move forward and is enjoying it so far. He does go on his tippy toes though. He is just so THRILLED to be able to move around. So we are really excited about this.
I will have to post a video of him in it as he dances to Hannah Montana or Justin Bieber. These happen to be my daughter's favorites, so Wysdom has no choice but to love them too.
Ps. Stay tuned for a contest on my food blog this week. If you want to get healthy or try some new recipes you will have a chance to win a great book.
