Ear Tube Time

The time has come that Jalinn needed to get ear tubes.  She had it done on 12-30-10 just before the New Year.  The reason she mainly needed to get the tubes was due to the fact that she has fluid in her left ear all the time and with the fluid always there, there is a cause it could have caused damage to her ear.  When we were waiting for Jalinn to go back to surgery she was so happy she even found the oxygen tube to chew on and have fun with.  The surgery was to take about 20 minutes but of course Jalinn has to be different...it took 40 minutes.  There was alot of infection and fluid in her left ear that they has to get out before they could place the tube.  She did great through the whole thing.  She is our little trooper. 

We noticed a difference with her with in 24 hours, her eyes stopped draining green coup and she seemed more happy.  It always helps to know you did the right thing when there is a good change after surgery.  Now we just hope these tubes stay in and there will be no more surgeries. 

Jalinn's 1st Birthday

Yes, I am a little late getting this blog out but better late then never. 

We had Jalinn's first birthday party on 12-12-10 and it was great.  We also celebrated by sister's birthday that day too.  It was a fun filled day all around.  Jalinn was not sure to thinking about all the present and even the whole family singing to her but she LOVED the cake. 

I can't believe it has already been a year.  We are so thankful to have Jalinn in our lives.  She has opened the door for us to meet so many new people that I am happy to say that they our friends.  People say that Jalinn is lucky to have us as parents but I believe we are lucky ones.  I would not change a thing about her in any way.  She is my sweet baby girl!!!  I love you so much Jalinn!!!
