And we are off to see the wizard...

Ok not really. But we are off again. Off to Billings, MT. The Dr.'s have been watching Ethan's eyes for ROP. We knew he had it but once it gets to a certain stage they need to have laser therapy. They don't do it in G.F. anymore so that means they have to fly us off to Billings. The Dr. doesn't know even if he will need surgery for sure. We could be staying in Billings for a little while as they will be able to keep a closer eye on it if he is there. So tonight they are flying him to Billings and Mark and I are driving there. We are doing it this way because they don't wont know if Mark is allowed to fly until 7pm because of his weight (ya know since he is so big and all!) and I don't want Mark to drive since he worked last night til this morning at 10am so he is in need of some sleep. So we are putting Ethan in the hands of the flight team while we drive to meet him there. The Dr. will do an exam first thing tomorrow morning and we will see what happens from there. Have I mentioned that I am exhausted! He sure is cute though and so worth it all ;)

About Me

This blog started as a hobby for many reasons. It later became a way to keep the family up to date on our micro preemie baby, Ethan. Now as Ethan is nearing the 8 year mark with a little sister of 5 years I am finding a new reason to document on this blog.

Last year we were told by the school that Ethan had cerebral palsy, a blindspot and dyslexia. That is what started it all. I started taking him to doctors to find out what was going on and why this hasn't been discovered before now. In April 2017 we were told that he has executive functioning disorder. What the heck is EFD I thought?!?! After the doctor explaining it to us he basically said that if we don't start making changes now he could fall into the ADHD or possibly the autism category. Ok... so now what? What can we do?!? Well this blog is my way of documenting it all not only for me but also to help others find their way thru similar situations.
