Our new Boomer fan

[PBMAX]

I've been away from a decent connection for a long while so I've not kept up.
But while I was gone the wife and I adopted a lilltle one from Guatamala.
We call him Joey. He was 7 1/2 month old when we brought him home in Sept of 2002. He's had his ups and downs with the changes,the worst was something killed off the good digestive bacteria in his digestive system and we had to give him more (he ate but got little out of the food)but he is doing great now.
He just got tubes in his ears last week for the cronic ear in fections. His been home with us 8mnths and running and had 8 ear infections. So we went for the tubes over pumping him with more and more antibiotics till he "out grows them".
He is a very laid back and mild mannered kid so far.His haritage is Myan (<-?
spelling)and Spanish decent. He has a smile and dimples thay would met iron....

People have asked some of the funniest questions since we brought him home.
"Will he speak with an accent?" /forums/images/graemlins/tongue.gif (These when he was 8mnths.)
"does he speak english or spanish?" /forums/images/graemlins/tongue.gif
At 15 + mnths so far we have: hey,DA DA, Ma Ma and DI DI <- this is for both the dog and the 3cats and of course Ba ba for both his bottle and any ball he can grab.

Now that the boy can actually hear he should start talking even more. /forums/images/graemlins/cool.gif

Paul,
Thats great to hear. The ear tubes will help him a great deal.

GOOD FOR YOU!!! /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif
Don't sweat the tubes, I know three people at work who's kids have had them. We have had a few ear infections with our kids but not too many. I have had to take (sp?) occydopholus when I sepend a few months in different regions of south and central america. forgot all about it until now. I'm sure things will work out great for you all. God Bless the little one! /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

OK Paul, that was a great excuse for not being around for awhile. I think we will let you by this time but stop in more often with up dates on the new family member. Congratulations to both you and your wife.

Congratulations!!!

Both my daughters had tubes in their ears. Both came out fine. They still had infections, but they cleard up in a matter of a day or two, not weeks. It really worked out well.

Papa,

Are you getting any sleep? /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

I'm happy to hear you have a baby. Lots of work but worth
every second.

Ear infections stinketh. My daughter has had one or two but
nothing major. A coworkers kids have chronic infections
even with tubes and antibiotics. Go figure.

Have Fun With The New Tractor Driver To Be!!!! /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

Later,
Dan
