Keeping cool....

What's a family to do on a lazy hot Saturday afternoon? A bored 2 yr old needs some fun you know... Well I dont know what you do but we go to the park and play in the water fountain. Yea !

Water and summertime just go together ....

You cant keep a good fairy down...

You would never know Reese had surgery on Monday. Now granted I know it wasnt anything major or life threating but it was still surgery. She had to be put to sleep and there were alot of potential complications . A mama still worrys about her baby.

But mama's little fairy was flying high around our house last night ....well riding high actually... cause you know fairy's in the 21st century ride of course. It's so good to see her feeling like her old playful self again. Mama loves it when her baby's feeling good.


Well, mama just plain loves her baby.

After the tubes.....

Reese is up and going strong again after her second set of ear tubes & conservative adenoid removal. Thank you all for your prayers.

The Lord really answered all our prayers . We were very concerned about having Reese's adenoids removed since they help her controlling her air flow through her nose. This is very important for a cleft affected child. She's still learning how to talk and breathe properly. Without those adenoids, she would have a much harder time. And we didnt want her to have any set backs.

And then the ENT was thinking about putting in bigger ear tubes so they would last longer if the fluid behind her ear drums was thick and cloudy like the first time. We are praising God because the fluid wasnt and he decided to put back the small one. This means less damage to the ear drum and it reduces the possiblity of hearing loss later as a result of tubes. Isnt the Lord awesome?

Brand New Look

Hey everybody....what do you think about our new look?

I wanted to give our blog a fresh update on our one year anniversary of Gotcha Day 7/13/10 but couldnt get everything lined up. But hey I only missed it by a couple of weeks. That isnt too bad... at least for me.

We have three new header bar for the top so each time you view or refresh you should be able to see a new look.

I hope everyone enjoys the new look and the new pictures of Reese and our family. She's growing up so fast. One year is already gone and it seems like yesterday she was placed in my arms...

God is so wonderful and has blessed us so much over the last year. I cant thank Him or praise Him enough....

ENT update

We had to go to Reese's ENT doctor yesterday for a routine checkup on her ear tubes.

Guess what? Both tubes were out and fluid has backup behind her ear drums again. Her ENT wants to put the tubes back and remove her adenoids.

Please pray for my baby girl .... her surgery is scheduled for Monday Aug 2nd.

Monday blahs....

It's been a tough weekend at the Denton household. My baby girl has been sick all weekend and me since yesterday afternoon. I guess we've got ourselves a killer stomach bug traveling through the family. Lookout Mark it's coming your way cause us girls dont want this anymore...
