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.

Averi, Averi..... she just can't get well. Maybe now that the cold weather is over with she will get better. She has such high spirits for not feeling well. Hope she feels better soon. She is going to be a big sister soon!!! (well later in the year, but soon enough)LOL
