Hello Fall!

My mom and I went to the farm in Fort Collins this week. It was so awesome! Jakey loved it. He really, really, really loved it-or maybe that was just us.... :) The day was beautiful and the animals were hilarious. He loves pumpkins but couldn't stop putting hay in his mouth when we were getting the photo ops-when in Rome, I guess. Life was great and beautiful and simple that day. The farm just makes you happy. Not sure why. You know the workers do more work on a farm than we do in a week but on a farm I have always felt so simple and down-to-earth. Maybe that's how they want visitors to feel! I'm glad we don't have to do the work! :) Anyway, there wasn't an animal that didn't crack J up. The cow kept rubbing against his foot and Jake wasn't too sure what to think about it. The turkey shook his feathers in front of Jake and freaked him out so much that he cried! It was a prefect day to spend with my mom. 

Today he has his ENT appointment and the long of the short of it is that he is getting tubes put back in and his adnoids removed. Not a biggie-we have done this before and it isn't a big deal-but it is time of of work and the worst part...Jake coming out of anesthesia. It makes me a little anxious already. He isn't hearing well. He didn't do well on his hearing test even with his old tube and TONS of wax taken out. He is inconsistently responding-which we see at home. With speech therapy starting we want to make sure that he has the support and medical intervention he needs. Honestly, I know he doesn't respond consistently to sounds and his name, etc. but I was in denial I guess. He should be getting more sounds by now and he is not. Period. I am not sure when the surgery will be-like a said, I am not worried about the surgery, I just hate (with my whole heart) how inconsolable he is when he comes out of anesthesia. :( 

He is getting a follow up (and hopefully end) sleep study at Children's soon as well. The best news I got about that was that they finally offer sleep studies during the weekend so it will be easier for me. I am PRAYING that he is able to pass so that we don't have to do some "alternative" source of O2. I am not sure what she has in mind....

Anyway, Bobby and I have a wonderful trip planned and Nana and Poppy are going to hang out and love on Jake while we are off having some fun! Jake is so spoiled my his grandparents and all the people who love him!
