Asher's Tonsils and Eye Surgery

Ever since we got Asher, he's snored like an old man.  His poor sleep as caused other issues, and after meeting with several specialists, it was determined that his airway is small (part of his genetic disorder) and his tonsils are huge- so they needed to come out. His eyes also were ready for surgery #2- he will  need probably 1 more, but time will tell....
Waiting at the pre-op appointment
Gifts from his sweet teachers!
A Fart Gun- something that he has wanted for FOREVER

5am, he is happy since he has a fart gun and Woody!
Waiting to be called back- happy as a clam! 

Such a good patient!

All ready to go!
All done!  The nurses all said he was their favorite- he didn't flip out, he obeyed, he drank like a champ!  So proud!
Ready to go home!
Happy to be home- excited to watch movies cllllll day!
Miss Julie stopped by with milkshakes for all the kiddos- and got a few snuggles in!  We love her!
This is his reaction to being told he can't jump on the trampoline ...  Poor kiddo!
Already, a week out, his sleep is drastically better- no more snoring!  His eyes are working together more!  We are hopeful that this will all continue!

Zillinger Visit!!!

The Zillingers came to visit!!  We LOVE them more than words can express!  The kids loved getting to spend time with their cousin Daniel as well as his parents- Aunty Becca and Uncle Thomas!  We had fun living the every-day stuff, eked in a visit to the aquarium, dinner at The Varsity and even met up with Mom and Jim in Chattanooga!  It was a great week!
