In April we took a little camping trip with the girls. It was fun. The girls had a blast playing in the lake, chasing ducks and throwing rocks into the river. I was super prego so I didn't sleep at all because the air mattress kept going flat in the night and Sienna was snoring SOOOOOO loud!
We had Easter at mom and dads this year. We had an easter egg hunt and went swimming
On April 23rd Sienna had her tonsils and adenoids out.
She used to snore soooo loud. It got really bad. She would stop breathing every few minutes in the night. It was really scary. We were referred to the specialist and he looked at her for about 2 seconds and said "Those need to come out" They rate them on a 1-5 scale and hers were a 4. They were taking up the whole back of her throat. He also said her adenoids were blocking off her nose.
We took her in that morning and she was pretty nervous.
Then they gave her a little drink of something to calm her down and it was the funniest thing. She immediately started acting loopy. She was watching a movie and she just kept smiling this big goofy smile. Dusky and I would laugh and she would start giggling and say "Why are you laughing?" Then she would get a blank stare, then start giggling again. It was so funny.
They let Dusky go back with her while they sedated her and it was pretty traumatizing. I wanted to go, but I'm kind of glad I couldn't.
The surgery took about 20 minutes and then they kept her back in the recovery room until she came out of sedation. By the time they brought her into us she was pretty upset. She woke up hurting, and not knowing anyone. They gave her morphine and then brought her to us. It was really sad.
They let us go not long after that and she threw up the whole ride home.
The next few days were kind of rough. She HATED her pain medication because it was disgusting. It took us so long to get her to drink it. But if she wouldn't she would start hurting really bad.
They say you usually don't notice when the scabs come off, but one night she came and got in bed with us. A few minutes later she started coughing and it sounded like she was gurgling. I looked over and there was blood everywhere. It was all over her, the pillow, the blankets, and me. Her whole scab had come off but it was still connected at the top and she was choking on it. She just kept gagging and then spitting up blood. It was scary. I thought we were going to have to take her back in to the hospital, but the bleeding finally stopped. I stayed awake all night thinking she was going to choke on her scab. Pretty nasty.
We took her to her two week check up and the doctor looked at her ears and throat and said everything looked good.
Later that day she kept saying she was cold and she wouldn't eat anything. That afternoon she had a really bad fever. I called the on call physician and they said they would just refer us back to our pediatrician anyways, but it was after hours.
By the next morning she was wheezing really bad. I took her into the doctor and they sent us straight over to the hospital for xrays. Turns out she had pneumonia.
Poor little girl couldn't catch a break.
We had to do breathing treatments every 3 hours and take antibiotics. for 2 weeks.

Zach and Tasha found a HUGE nasty snake in their driveway. So they killed it and then Kaia and Sienna went to check it out. Of Course.
