Update on life

The shoulder is doing great.  I saw Dr. DeJong today and I got to remove part of the sling.  I am able to go back to work, but I will need computer work or something I can wear a sling and do for at least 3 weeks.  I am not going to PT yet, he wants me to slowly work the stiffness out and if I am having trouble with that then he will send me to PT early.  He said I will go to PT for strengthening.  My mom will stay at least one more week.  We will see how things are going next week.  Dr. DeJong says the incision is looking great, but I had a reaction to the steri strips so it is red and has some bumps. 
Joey went for his 5 year old check-up and he weighs 33 pounds and is 42 1/2 inches.  He had an ear infection, we had no clue.  They thought it was allergy related and gave him some allergy medicine.  He had taken that medicine when he was little and he would wake up and had bad dreams.  Well I thought maybe it was a different medicine or that he would do better.  Last night, he woke up screaming.  He didn't know anything or where he was.  He was really scared.  This morning he just had trouble waking up.  We won't give that to him again and I have a call out to Dr. Grier to see if we can change that.  His antibiotic is fine.
Luke is talking up a storm.  Something new everyday.  He has been play with a baby a lot.  He gives his baby a snack and puts them down and tells them "Night Night baby!"  He just seems to enjoy playing and pretending with them.  He talks about them being "Hurt!"  My mom says he is going to be a nurse.
