OUR LITTLE TROOPER

Well I must say that I have not been to good at catching my blog up. Please forgive me! Last Monday we brought Averi back to the doctor for a recheck from being in the After Hours Clinic on Sunday. Dr. Guidroz made the statement to us that we really needed to make a decision about putting tubes in Averi's ears. We told her that we needed to do what was best her Averi. So an appointment was schedule, well I say scheduled, we headed straight there after leaving Dr. Guidroz's office. Dr. Clement, ENT, saw us and told us that she needed to put tubes in asap and that we should consider taking her adenoids out also. Surgery was scheduled for Wednesday March 11 at 9:00a.m. All went very well. Dr. Clement told Brad, Poppie and I that her adenoids were posible causing some of her wheezing problems because of there size. So our lives continued after that........... Fever started Friday afternoon when I picked Averi up from her nap. She had fever 102.5 and all moms know what you would have started thinking....infection. Phone calls were made and Brad and I brought her in Saturday morning...please keep in mind that Baton Rouge Clinic electricity bill has been paid by us, being that we had been in there nine time in three weeks.....Dr. Bombet stated that her tubes looked well and that she has a fever virus. OMG!!!! are you kidding me was my first thought. Poor child can not stop catching virus. She has basically lived in a bubble for the last four months. NO MOTHERS DAY OUT! Dr. Bombet stated that I needed to bring her in Monday for a recheck and see how things were going. Brought her back in Monday after a weekend of fever arranging from 101.2 to 103.5, her fever started coming down Sunday, but still brought her in by doctors orders. All is well now, please please please continue to pray for healing in Averi's body. We are giving her whatever she wants to eat, being that she has lost weight again, all in all her spirits have remained good thru all the trails and errors that have been coming her way. I must say that she is a true trooper. I am very proud of her and I count my blessing being she has such a positive attitude thru everything.



I went to the doctor on Tuesday and everything looks well, adding on some pounds......we got to hear the heart beat and on our way for another month.

ANY ONE WANT TO JOIN......

a roller coaster ride..... Well that is what I fell like I have been on since November 2008. Lets just make this short and sweet....Averi started the wheezing on Thursday February 26. By Friday afternoon it was terrible, she was breathing really hard and just not being herself. Took her in Saturday morning and she had double ear infections and bronchitis.....she received a shot and a prescription. Well things did not get any better for our little trooper, called Doctor on Tuesday and a steroid was called out and told to call again on Thursday if not any better. Who can guess......went into the doctors office today and received a steroid shot and more breathing steroid treatments. Dr. Guidroz stated today that she has never seen a child so happy and with breathing so bad. I just keep thanking God for the angel that he has given to Brad and I because she has such a positive attitude through all that she has been through. Right now God is the one that can do the miracles that we need, if we take for off of the steroid breathing treatments then her breathing and her trying to breath would be a lot hard, but one of the side effects of being on the treatments is there is a possibility that it could lower her immune system. As far as the medications that she receives we have to watch what she receives because of the UTI infections with the stronger antibiotics. Please pray for Gods healing hands over Averi.



I have been to the Doctor for myself and found out that our due date is September 24, 2009. I am 11 weeks today. Feeling great, little tired at times but nothing to complain about......
