Zoey Goes to the Doctor

Ok so for those of you who do actually still follow this post even though I have been much less than diligent about the posting and updating of such Blog hooray for you. We have revised revamped and have now trained a second poster for it. Karalee has vowed to be better about it than I have been. Good luck to her and to all of you. As for actching you up on what you have all missed I must say that it will be unfortunate that you will not be able view all that has happened here on our Blog. That's what visits to our home are for. (hint, hint). However Karalee has said she will choose some of the highlights to share with you so it doesn't seem like we went from pumpkin eater to the present so drastically.

As for this post, the title does say it all. Our sweet little angel has had her fair share of issues with ear infections in her short life so far. Recently she has had a double ear infection that has been on going for six weeks. Well the Doctors finally all got together and decided there where no other options. Zoey gets tubes. Despite her pain and annoyance from her infections she has still been just a sweet heart, loving both mommy and daddy, and especially her Great Grandfather Walker. She has melted that man's heart. Following are some of the pictures from her outing.

Zoey was just loving all the attention from the nurses. She didn't even seem to mind all the fun new clothes and accesories. As you can see by her willingness to model her new fashion.

Isn't she just adorable. She even took her blankie in with her so she would feel more at home. I am so proud of my little trooper. All smiles.

Yes she is laughing. Zoey loves to laugh and smile and melt hearts, and I must admit that she is getting pretty darn good at it as well. The staff just adored her and couldn't help coming around to see her any chance they got.

Like we said, she loves to laugh

During surgery Zoey's Doctor said he found so much fluid built up in her ears that he was surprised that she could even hear anything at all. Also apparently infants have a devil of a time coming out of the anesthesia. Zoey struggled with it all day, she mainly slept and would awaken every so often to cry histerically for a few moments before finding comfor in mommy or daddy's shoulder. However now she is fully recoverd and you would have never guessed anything was wrong. She is ever more so talkative now though we still can't get her to say Mama. It will come soon enough. Also she is so close to crawling it's scary. We are not nearly ready for it yet, but we are getting excited. I'll have to see about getting a short video up for you to see.

Well we love all of you and wish you the best.

Talk to you soon
