Merry Christmas!

So clearly I fell off the blog-updating wagon! So sorry! Things got so crazy! Thankfully, we are finally in our new house and getting into somewhat of a routine, although it's busy!
Noah got himself kicked out of preschool by having one too many accidents. He is doing great now, but we are going to wait until next year to send him to preschool. Just don't want to go through that ordeal again!
Eli is doing great with his therapy appointments, but our ENT discovered his trachea is 50% smaller than it should be and is the reason he has had so much trouble with feeding, gasping breaths, and speech. We are in the process of scheduling this surgery, which will take 4 hours and 2 surgeons! Eli will have a tracheotomy, where he will have a hole in his throat and a device attached to help him breathe and will be in the hospital for 2 weeks. For 4-6 months after that, he will need constant trachea care at home and we will have a home health nurse at times, too. Not sure what life will be like for us then, but we know that Eli's life will be sso much better long-term because of this surgery!
We were able to go back to Kansas City for Christmas this year for a week! It was great to spend time with family and friends who we dearly miss! The boys got fun toys from both sets of grandparent, who clearly outdid themselves! Noah has an exercise video game AND a V-Tech video game system. Eli has an airplane riding toy and the Little People House! And we all now have new KU gear, thanks to Jason's parents. Rock Chalk Jayhawk!
Hope you all had a fabulous Christmas and here's to a great new year!! We love you!
