Adenoids, Tonsils & Sugar, Oh My!

Well our little guy is almost back to his boisterous chipper self. On October, 9^th our little guy had his tonsils and adenoids removed. After two weeks of recovery he’s finally just starting to sleep through the night. Lisa has been amazing as she has waited on Austin hand and foot.

The surgery was a success and we are amazed at how quiet our little guy sleeps now! Poor Austin could literally peel the paint off when he snored and now we find him simply whispering to angels (ok, major cheesy hyperbole!)

Our special thanks go to our parents for their sacrifices in spending time with us and helping us tend our totally sugar high children! Austin could only have liquid and so we had a bunch of otter pops, juice, shakes and Jello. Of course, Allie got in on all the action without all the pain… I think for the first time in our married lives Lisa and I actually got tired of Arctic Circle shakes!

As you can imagine, with all the undivided attention its been hard to get back to normal at the Teichert house. The last week has been trying to wean ourselves from sugar, suddenly Allie is a two year old and has become very vocal about what she wants, Austin has a new sweet voice but has to have Little Einstein’s on constantly, Lisa is starting to catch up on sleep and I… well, I’ll think of how I am after this Otter Pop!
