Ava's Surgery

Ava had her third set of tubes put in her ears this morning. Hopefully it will be her last but knowing her luck it won't. Her appointment was at 9:45 but they didn't call her back until almost 11:00. One of the primary teachers in our ward was there with her son to get his tonsils out. I also saw my friend coming out of the hospital as we were going in. Her son had his wisdom teeth out and they got really infected. He will be there for a few days. So it was like a Marysvale reunion there. Anyway, the surgery went well. The doctor said both ears were infected. The right ear worse than the left. She did pretty well in recovery. She was thirsty and didn't want to be messed with by the nurse. I think she knows hospitals now. She didn't like getting dressed in the gown and hat but she sure looked cute in it. She goes back to the dr in 2 weeks to have the tubes checked to make sure they're in place still. Hopefully this will help her equilibrium and she will be able to learn to walk. That would help so much.

It's getting warm here...finally! I don't want it to be hot but it has been so cold for so long it's just nice to be able to go out without a jacket. My kids can even wear shorts now. It still cools off nice at night. The ranch is looking nice. Nathan and his crew got the rest of the sod down in front of the cabins. His crew consists of one of his scouts, Dominic, and my nephew Jeremy that is going to stay with us for the summer. They picked up the whiskey barrels with flowers we ordered last fall for the front of each cabin. He also mowed the meadow below them. It looks so good. We need to get more pictures for the website. It really is a beautiful place. We are so blessed to be able to live here. We have a few reservations for the cabins this month. Also we have the first trail ride booked for the 16th of this month. Exciting! I guess that's all for now. Until next time.....
