Our sweet little Paxton had ear surgery the other day! He had a hole in his ear that needed to be fixed. The only way to fix this is to cut off the whole back of the ear (which was a two and a half hour surgery) and sew it back on. Poor kid was not very happy that he had to wear this head dressing for just a little over 2 days. He cried and cried over this head wrap for the first day. He also had a bit of a few rough days. It seemed that every time he ate he would throw up. It took us a bit to figure out that it was the pain meds doing this to him. As always with any surgery he was tired and slept a ton. After two day of wearing the head wrap we where able to take it off. Lets just say, its not very pleasant to look at and his poor ear stick out quite a bit. The doc has reassured me that it will go back in and look normal. He now still has packing in his ear and every week we go into the dr. they will take a bit out at a time. The only kicker is he has told us that he can not get hit in the ear for at least a month. No rough housing and contact sports. I kinda laughed when he told us this. Does he not realize that we have 5 kids and they are all boys. We don't need sports to have lots of contact in our house. This is going to be a very fun month.

Poor pax! I hope his ear feels better soon. That is no fun. It looks like you guys have been busy. Beckett is getting so big! Man we miss you guys. Rilyn was looking over my shoulder while I was reading and said mom look there's my friend Carter! Good luck on your move back to az. The kids and I will be down there all of November and the whole family will be there in feb. too. We should try to get together and catch up.
