Sprinkled with Chaos: Being MIA, Ainsley, and My Busy Self

Being MIA, Ainsley, and My Busy Self
To say we have been busy in the Morton household is an understatement. Since the beginning of the year life has become more crazy with the Twins getting older and into things, Danny starting his classes back up, Ethan being extremely sick and the last being Ainsley's surgery to get a second set of tubes.
Elayna and Kennedy are now 9 months old!!! (How on earth did that happen?) Mrs Elayna is now crawling and climbing. She is into everything, so much so that we bought a play pen or as we call it "The Cage" to keep her in one area of the house along with Kennedy. Meanwhile Kennedy has mastered sitting herself up and that's about it LOL. They both are still polar opposites and now love to fight each other. Yes I said fight! I cant believe how fast they are growing.
Ethan the poor guy ended up being sick most of the beginning of March. He started with a fever and had to be sent home early one day. Later in the week I realized his throat was swollen and sore, so off to the Dr. we went. The first verdict was tonsillitis but no strep, remedy was rest and time. We went 6 days with a fever even with Tylenol and Motrin which landed us in the ER on a Sunday to get
an answer of what was really going on. After IV fluids and blood work we had the answer: MONO!! How on Earth does a 7 year old get Mono? The ER Doctor told us that he likely picked up the virus while in public and got it that way. Rest and liquids were the remedies for him. He bounced back extremely fast besides the occasional tired/wore out spell if he plays to much. I learned some interesting facts about it as well in the crazy journey. But seriously MONO? Never a dull moment here.
At the same time we were dealing with Ethan be sick, Ainsley Ear surgery was upon us too. We were lucky and she didn't (nor did any of the other girls) get sick. My sister in law rode up to Children's hospital of Philadelphia with me so that Danny could stay home with all the other kids.
The surgery went well and Ainsley is finally able to hear so much better than before. It was really amazing to hear her point out certain sounds she couldn't hear before. I think my favorite memory will be riding in the van and Ethan asking for me to turn the radio up, something Ainsley always asked because she could never hear it. And Ainsley looking at him and saying "No Ethan, I can hear it now! The Doctor "fixeded" my ears REAL good". It was that moment I realized just how bad her hearing really was and thought what if we didn't have this type of procedure that helped her out.
With all of this behind us, Easter this weekend, and slowly getting the twins on a schedule I'm back at my keyboard ready to fill you with laughs, smiles, and occasionally some tears because that is what Life is all about :)
