OLIVIA'S NEW BEDROOM DESIGN

Olivia has been begging me for months to paint her bedroom blue. Blue and purple are her favorite colors. We redesigned her room and got her a new butterfly comforter, purple curtains and turquoise wall color. My cousin and I painted it this weekend and we surprised Olivia with the completed room. She loves it! I was a little nervous about painting her room at first because her walls are paneling that has never been painted before. I thought it was going to be really hard, but it wasn't as bad as I thought. The most challenging part was getting the paint it the groves between each strip of panelling. It wasn't hard at all to get the paint to stick to the wall. With the new Kiltz paint, it is a much easier process than before. I didn't even have to sand the panelling. I just put on a thin coat of Kiltz water-based primer and then it only took one coat of Kiltz color paint. Here are some pictures of the finished room.

DOCTOR'S REPORT - 2 WEEK FOLLOW UP VISIT AFTER SURGERY

We went for Isaac's two week check up with the urologist after his double surgery. We don't have to go back to the pediatric dentist for another 6 months and that is just to get his teeth cleaned. We had to have a 2 week follow up visit with the urologist though for the circumcision. The doctor said that Isaac is doing great. He said that everything looks and is healing better than he could have every hoped. He even teased us a little and said, "Wow! That is as great looking circumcision! Someone did a great job on that. It looks perfect!" He then said that in all seriousness, it did turn out to great. He said that sometimes you don't know exactly how it is going to look until after all of the bruising and swelling is gone. Isaac's turned out perfect. There was just the right amount of skin cut back. If not enough is cut back, it looks like a half circumcision. It also doesn't look right if too much is cut. He did just the right amount. We are so happy with the doctor. He has great bedside manner and he was great with Isaac. He made us feel at ease and he made himself available at any time if we had any concerns or questions. He is also a great surgeon.

UPDATE ON ISAAC'S RECOVERY

Isaac is recovering very well from his surgery. He hurt very little from the surgery on his mouth. The little pain that he had was eased with Children's Tylenol. Within 3 days he was eating just about everything. The circumcision took a little longer for him to recover from, but he is doing great now from that too. We had to use a little bit stronger pain medicine for that but only for about 3 days. He is doing great now. We go back for our two week check up with the urologist on Wednesday. He just wants to make sure he is healing well. Please pray that we get a good report.

I posted a few pictures below. One is of my husband Eddie and Isaac. They were walking on one of the walking trails at a local park. The other picture is of Isaac and Olivia with Eddie's dad. They call him Poppy.
