Summer Travel Recap

In the words of Mommy Fran: "Our vacations were great. Good quality time for Jeremy with Papa and Grannie, Mimi and Tate (the godparents) in CA. Then we had a lot of fun in Albuquerque staying with our friends. While Anna was at her conference, Jeremy, I, my friend and her son who is Jeremy's age went to the children's museum, gymboree, on a bike ride, swimming, to the botanic gardens, rode a train, went up the tram to the top of Sandia Mountain (the part Jeremy keeps talking about)."

Jeremy's nasal passages

Alright, not a great title for a blog entry, especially considering that we haven't blogged for a while, but I thought I'd get back into the habit, with just some short notes about what we are up to. The biggest news currently is that Jeremy just had his head x-rayed to help us figure out why he continues to have bad congestion. Our suspicions were confirmed that he has very large adenoids. These make his breathing passage quite narrow, causing him to snore, mouth-breathe, etc. There are two courses of action: surgery, or nasal steroid. For the time being, we are going to up his dose of nasal steroid but will discuss with the ENT specialist. Current medical research is very promising for the nasal steroid; a recent study showed significant improvement in 80% of young children tested using the same steroid we are using. Wish us luck in our quest to get this figured out!

Great Video of Jeremy with Bubbe

Check out this video from Bubbe's recent visit from Cincinnati. Too cute!
