Crazy fun times

Weston had a hearing screening test yesterday and did great! He passed and didn't have fluid on his ears yeah. We don't have to go back for 6 months we have been going every 3 just to make sure he didn't suffer any hearing loss from being on ECMO. So we go back in February.

We are having many changes in the Rogers' house with two growing boys. Getting our house repaired from a hail storm that passed through Oklahoma in May. We are still waiting to get our windows replaced we had two broken out, which hopefully we'll have the new windows by the end of September beginning of October, yeah in Fall, could have used them during the summer months but oh well.

We are also getting ready for another big adjustment in our house, we are expecting a baby the end of February. This will be our third and we are so excited. I am secretly hoping for a girl but a healthy baby will be the biggest blessing. We go and see the doctor today for my 13/14 week check up. We go and see the high risk doctor the end of September for our ultrasound just to make sure everything is ok. We are excited about going and seeing him and for him to meet Weston.

Another big change in our house is that I am going to start homeschooling Quinton(4) the beginning of September pre-k. I am really looking forward to teaching him and I know Weston will learn a lot too.

I think that's it for now and the on going changes at the Rogers' crazy house :)

Where has the time gone

Wow, I am horrible on updating Weston's blog and letting everyone know how we are doing. We are doing great!! I can't believe that we celebrated Weston's 2nd birthday almost a month ago. We learned that you don't give him cards first because we never get to the presents. We gave him a Mickey Mouse clubhouse musical card and he did not want to put it down.
We had a great time in Colorado/New Mexico with our families. We learned something every important that Weston starts struggling with his O2 stats at about 8,000ft, he drops down into the low 80's. We are so thankful that our parents had a friend close by that used oxygen so she had a portable pulse ox with her so we could check his stating. Something I need to purchase in the future whenever we take trips out of our elevation, just to monitor Weston and it was something I hadn't even thought of. So just an FYI to all other CDH families out there that look at Weston's story.
When Weston turned 2 he hit the terrible 2's. He has been so rebellious. I mean he was before but now even more so, so stubborn. At the beginning of July we moved Weston into his toddler bed. He is really doing good, there are times he comes into our room and I take him right back to his bed and falls back to sleep.
Two weeks ago Weston got released from therapy so we are specialist and thearpist free. It is so exciting, if you would have asked last year if this is where we would be I would have not imagined it. Of course Weston was still on his feeding tube and our GI doctor was telling us he needed a G-tube I praise God that we knew Weston could do it and he has. Slow and steady.
We are so blessed. There are still nights when I lay him down to sleep I just sit there for a minute listening to him breath, it is such a wonderful sound.
