Our Sunshine Boys: What do YOU do while you wait to see the doctor?

What do YOU do while you wait to see the doctor?

What do YOU do while you wait in the doc's office?

Of course....I played with my camera.

Jack colored a picture.

Evan layed on the bed not knowing he was getting ready to see a urologist.

"Mommy won't put her camera down will she?"

And Ryan was at his buddy's house having a goodtime. Thanks gooddog!

We went to a pediatric urologist for a consultation on Tuesday for Evan. He has very mild hypospadius so he has to have his circumcision done by a specialist. His hypospadius will also be taken care when the circumcision takes place at a day surgery clinic at Brenner's.

The nutritionist came out to see Evan on Wednesday and he is up to 11 lbs 6 ounces now.

When I'm at the doctor with my kiddos, I lay them down on the white throw-away paper and trace their bodies. Then they pass the time giving themselves faces, jewelry and clothes!; August 3, 2008 at 7:11 PM

About the boys

As of 3/31/08

Ryan is 4 1/2 years old. He is in preschool and loves every minute of it. He loves to color and he loves Larry Boy, the superhero from Veggie Tales.

Jack is almost 3 and he is the aggressive one. He likes to pick on his older brother. Even though he picks on Ryan, he likes to do whatever his big brother does.

Evan is 4 months old but is the size of an average newborn. He was born 9 weeks early. He was only 1 lb 15 ounces and 12 1/2 inches long at birth.

All of the boys have had their medical issues.

Ryan was diagnosed at birth with hydrocephalus. He was shunted at 3 days old. That shunt failed at about a year old. That is when the docs performed a third ventriculostomy. That failed one month later and was redone. His last surgery was January 2009 when he was 5. He has MRI's annually to make sure the hydrocephalus is under control.

Jack was diagnosed at 3 months old with hydrocephalus. He was shunted immediately but that shunt failed at 7 months old. They performed a third ventriculostomy and he has not had another surgery since. He has MRI's once a year.

Evan was born Intrauterine Growth Restricted(IUGR). He was born at 31 weeks 3 days gestational age. He was only 1 lb 15 ounces and he spent almost 2 months in the NICU.
