Surgery, Ear Infection, Teething. What's next?

It's been a while since I've posted, but i have a good excuse. Many good excuses actually:
January - lots of family issues
February - eye surgery for Carter
March - teething and ear infection for Carter

Life events have been keeping us pretty busy. Carter's eye surgery was on Feb 14 (Happy Valentiness day to us). It was to correct his crossing eyes. It was a fairly easy outpatient surgery. He was pretty uncomfortable for a few days, but he recovered quickly and is doing great now. So far it looks like the surgery was successful but we won't know the final outcome for another month or so. If it wasn't completely successful, we may have to wear the glasses again. So I'm really praying that it worked and we can discontinue those dreaded things. There's also a chance that he may need additional surgeries, but that could be years down the line.

Once he started feeling better after surgery, his body decided it was time for some more molars. Fun, fun. Then a couple days later, the teething and a minor cold turned into an ear infection. He was completely miserable for a couple days so we took him in to the doctor. We were at first worried it was an issue with the shunt. But it was just an infection. So we're on a antibiotic regimen which seems to be doing the trick.

Other than dealing with Carter's surgeries and sickness, Brad and I are both busy with work, trying to refinance the house and thinking about moving once the refinance is complete. So the business is likely to continue for the new few months.
