Same old...

Don't have much to report...my recovery of my wrist surgery is taking longer than planned. I had physical therapy on Tuesday and thought that would be my last one but I still can't bend my wrist as far as prior to surgery so have to go 2x per week for the next 2 weeks and then hopefully will be done. But at least I am done with the big bandage and the splint!

Gavin is doing well...he is such a sweet boy. Lately he has been so nice to his sister. When she throws a tantrum about something he will get her whatever she wants or even give up what he has to make her happy (or maybe he just wants her to stop screaming...)

Abby is also doing well. She has been doing really well at daycare wearing her big girl undies and staying dry. Now if she can just figure out how to do that at home we will be well on our way to being potty trained! She is enjoying dance class and also has a new talent! She curls her toes under and and then walks on them. I am in pain just watching her but doesn't seem to bother her at all. I will try to post a picture to show what I am talking about...hard to explain!

Back to work!

I am finally back to work!! I got approval from my doctor around 10:30 yesterday!! I am still typing with one hand so am pretty slow getting things done but it beats sitting home!

Abby had her first dance class last night. She did great and had lots of fun. At the beginning of class she didn't want to go in and started crying saying she needed Gavin...I guess maybe we need to split them up once in awhile!

While Abby was at class Pat took Gavin by the river to see the ducks and geese. He thought that was great!

What's new with the Kennedy's

Last Wednesday I had a ganglion cyst removed from my left wrist. I thought I would be back to work on Friday but my doctor has me off until May 19th. I am trying to get him to release me early but so far no luck. I should be making good use of my time off and be studying for the CPA exam but I always seem to find better things to do!!

Abby has a follow up appointment on Friday for her ear infection. She has been on 2 antibiotics and it still isn't completely cleared up...hopefully soon!

Gavin went to the allergist and they didn't anything he is allergic to but he did have a slight reaction to cats and since we have 2 cats we have to keep an eye on him! So I guess all his health problems are related to his tonsils/adenoids.

Abby starts dance class tonight...I hope she has fun. I am still looking for an event for Gavin to do!

The illnesses continue!

We met with the ENT doctor last week and he thinks Gavin is on the path to having his adenoids and tonsils removed...but thinks he is too young to do it now. So his advice was to try and get him through the summer and re-evaluate in the fall. He did not think it was allergy related so I cancelled the allergist appointment!

Gavin is still miserable so I called our regular doctor and he thinks we should see the allergist so we are back on for Tuesday!

Abby went back to the doctor last Thursday...her ears were still draining and they stink! So we found out the antibiotic she was on did not work and she is on a new antibiotic that she hates so medicine time has become a real challenge...thank goodness for M & Ms!

The kids did get to play outside quite a bit this weekend...Gavin has a new motorcycle that he LOVES and rides it all the time. Abby sometimes rides with him or she rides her little 4 wheeler but gets really mad when the battery drains (which is quite quickly when they ride in the grass!)

I will post pictures of them riding together tonight or tomorrow and will keep everyone updated on our illnesses!
