Birthday pics.

Hey guys... I know you've been wondering how Tripp's birthday party was.  Well, the party was great... but Tripp- not so great.  On Friday (his actual birthday) he was great, we stayed around the house with my mom and sis and Randy's mom and PawPaw Carey.  But then Saturday morning, the day of his party, he woke up with another abrasion.  UGH.  I was SO upset.  He was miserable and barely opening his eyes.  I gave him some Tylenol with Codeine, but that didn't do much.  SO we brought our rocker to the party and that's pretty much where he stayed the whole time.  He opened his eyes for about 15 minutes to take a few pics with the big Mickey and that was about it.  I just know that if he hadn't been in so much pain, that he would have had SUCH a great time!!  We even sang Happy Birthday to him with his eyes closed.  I know..... I was crying.  Anyway, I am not going to do his "Party Post" yet because I am waiting for pictures from my aunt, who was kind enough to take pictures for us!  So when I get those, I will post about his party and everyone who helped make it AWESOME!

Right now, I want to post some pictures from his Birthday on Friday.  These are before the abrasion... and are SO cute :)




Cute... but didn't go over well.
Takes after his Momma... loooooves icing!










Ok, so here is just a preview of Tripp at his party... 
Post coming when I get the pics :)





He suffered the rest of the weekend with his eye until we could get him in to the doctor this morning to get another contact and now he is feeling a lot better- except that he had to get 3 shots today!! ugh.  
But he's a trooper!  I think from now on, maybe the doctors will believe me that he needs them in PREVENTATIVE.  They just hate putting the contacts in as much as I hate watching them put them in! O well... all is good for now.  Too bad he missed his party. He was a day late and a dollar short!  

Love,

  10. Hey Courtney,

    I found your blog the other day by accident. I am amazed by the strength that your family has when dealing with this horrible disease. My son is 6 months old and I couldn't imagine having to watch him in that much pain or discomfort. Tripp is an amazing and handsome gift that you have. I can tell that watching him in pain was extremely difficult for you, but remember he proved those doctors that said he wouldn't make a year wrong the other day. Even thought he couldn't see some of the party, I am sure he could hear it and feel the love all around him. In the end, that is the best gift you can give him: love and support. I hope that is eye is doing much better, and that the next year will come with fewer set backs. Happy Birthday Tripp! You are one tough little kid!

    Love from Jenison Michigan

  11. That is a mama speaking. The little man didn't miss his party. He was there and he loved it. We all got to visit with him and he opened his eyes long enough to get icing and take a few pictures. "he was just playing opossum".
    We love you guys.
