Yo Gabba Gabba

Bentley still has hives...so we had to postpone his tubes. We are going on 2 and a half weeks of hives. He looks much better but still has a few hives each day. We have done some allergy testing and are awaiting the results but I am wondering now if it is unexplainable hives...ugh. The hives are pretty harmless compared to what he could be dealing with...so we will just remain positive that someday they will go away!

In the middle of the illness we have found a new love....you guessed it. Yo Gabba Gabba....and it just isn't Bentley, we all three like it. Give it a chance, the first time you see it, you will think it is crazy and bizarre, but it is actually quite entertaining :)

I will keep you posted on the hives....we pray they go away soon!

My poor baby......

Bentley has been sick the last week and a half. Bad double ear infections, severe hives (doctors believe a medicine reaction or a virus) and toss in a day of puking and there you have it. We have been busy with-- 2 doctor visits, an ENT consultation, Pediatric Express, the ER and a Pre-Op appointment....and Thursday he is getting tubes in his ears. We hope this makes for a healthier little boy. This last ear infection has been a bad one. I know it is a routine and fairly easy surgery but nothing will prepare me for the moment I have to hand him over to the nurses in his little gown....he is just a baby!

While I realize and have told myself and others over the past two weeks....people have it way worse and some people have health issues that don't go away unlike our ear infections and hives. I realize we have been so lucky to have him as healthy as he is, but it sure does stink to have him not feeling well for weeks at a time.

This too shall pass.....

Once we get tubes maybe I can update with how much fun we will be having because we will be able to go outside and not have the hives flare up, or because his ears aren't killing him....so here's to brighter days ahead!
