The Higgins Family: The House of Higgins: February 7

Jacob Cancer Update

This week we had an appointment with Jacob's oncologist, Dr. Savin, at Texas Oncology. He had his bi-annual PET scan a few weeks ago and we found out that it was all clear. We're bummed that his doctor is moving to Portland, but he set us up with his partner and Jacob will be seeing him in the future. Also, we are moving to annual PET scans and blood work, so we won't be back until early 2017.

From February 2014 to 2016, the progression of Jacob's oncology appointments! (He could only get in on a school day for Embry so she wasn't there with us)

Todd Urology Update

Right after Jacob's oncology appointment we had Todd's follow up with his pediatric urology, Dr. Nosnik. He said Todd is healing really well from both surgeries. We have an appointment in 3 months for one final check up. He said he's still swollen from the hydrocele (hernia) surgery, but I certainly can't tell since his testicles were so swollen from the hernias beforehand. The swelling is expected for six months post surgery, so totally normal.

Worn out from a morning of doctor's appointments!

It was World Cancer Day (Feb 4) so we were wearing our purple to support! Had to snap a pic in front of the purple wall!

Happy Swinging Boy

We tried Todder boy in the front yard swing for the first time this week and to say he loved it would be an understatement!

Another fun day of gymnastics

Little stinker rolling machine...this seems to help most of the time, but he can still roll to his back (and then flip out) some. OYEEEEEEE

A baby in overalls...is anything cuter?

Poor second child. He stayed the whole hour and a half or more that we were there on a blanket alone...happy as a clam.....haha

T likes Teen Mom too ;)

E&E tea party

So I said it for 7 months straight before Embry got teeth...but I swear he's teething!!!!!!!!!! Drooling machine and hands in his mouth at all times.

Doesn't everyone need a monogram for their highchair?

Toddy went to the childcare at MOPS on Friday for the first time. 3 hours away from Mommy and the childcare workers in his room said he did fantastic and was "sooooooo sweet". Yes, he has a super cute fox backpack of course!
