My Sweet Tyler

Last Monday, Tyler picked up a flat iron and recieved 2nd and 3rd degree burns on his palm and four fingers on his left land. It has been a nightmare to watch him struggle with the pain. We are going to the burn clinic in Lubbock again on Thursday and should have a better idea then about if/when he will need skin grafting and surgery. We have also been in contact with Shriners in Galveston (the closest Shriners to us that treats burns) about possibly transferring his care there. Please keep our sweet baby in your prayers.

Day #1 about 2 hours after it happened. Finally passed out at the ER once the pain meds kicked in



Day #3


Day #7-white=bad unless it's dead skin and none of the white in this pic is dead skin.

A little over a month ago, I dropped my laptop and the screen shattered on the inside. We finally have it up and working again....yay!

We've had lots of things happening at our house the last month. The biggest news is that Erick got a new job and is now home every day! We haven't all lived under the same roof full time for two years. It is really nice not feeling like a single mother anymore.

Other good news......I got my acceptance letter to NMSU today! I am so excited to be going back to school. I took a break just before Caden was diagnosed with autism. And then a few months later, Cierra was diagnosed with epilepsy and then we moved to Roswell and then I got pregnant with Tyler and had the pregnancy from hell and here we are 2 1/2 years later and I am finally getting back to it. Hopefully, we have a mellow few years so that I can finally get my degree. Ha! Funny joke. But, hopefully I can juggle it all.

We have our tree up and are excited for Christmas. Erick is working 6am-6pm on the 24th, 25th, and 26th so Christmas is going to be a little different this year, but we will make it work.

Tyler is just as naughty as can be. He is such a rambunctious little boy. He is so strong-willed and isn't shy about it. He throws tantrum after tantrum all day long because he is constantly being told "no" or "don't touch" or "no biting" and so on. He is perfectly content however if we just let him wander around the house in his diaper, doing as he pleases. I have never had a baby bite as much as Tyler does. He bites everything he can get his little teeth close to. Thankfully, that's not me so much anymore because he is FINALLY weaned! It was such a battle, but we have been done for about three weeks now :) Tyler has also recently discovered his nostrils and his belly button and he can usually be found with his finger in one or the other or both.
