The Beffa Family: March Update

Sorry for the delay in posts. It seems like the last month has gone by in the blink of an eye. We've battled a few sicknesses around here. At last count we are at 6 ear infections and 2 strep throats in the last 6 weeks between both kids. Jacob accounts for 4 of those ear infections so we made a trip to the ENT. They ended up taking out the tubes that were put in when he was 9 months old because they were no longer in the right place. Given that he has had repeated ear infections in the last 8 weeks they believe he will likely need a second set of tubes. The dr is also recommending they take out his tonsils. Apparently our little man has abnormally large tonsils. We are waiting to see how he does over the next few months but will likely have them taken out prior to another winter.

I would love to say I think he's doing better but he came home sick again today with a slight fever .. hoping that it's not his throat! Brenna is doing better though - she recently had 2 ear infections and strep and just finished her medicine. We took her back to the doctor last week and other than her cough (which the dr said would likely not go away until Spring) she is doing great. Here are some pics from the last month...
