Surgery is Set

By BK -
Well his first surgery is officially set now. He'll be heading into Children's @ Scottish Rite at 9am on September 10, 2008 for his first cranio-facial surgery we described a couple posts ago.

He's getting real big and eating tons lately. Rachel and I noticed yesterday night how plump his cheeks are getting and that the little ripple rolls are gone under his chin and replaced with one giant double chin. He's still cute as can be and all this growing hopefully will help him be better suited for the surgery.

The only thing we're worried about is all the growing may mean his brain is trying to grow at the same rate with no where to go which could explain his extreme crabbiness lately (even moreso than it was before my Mom was in town) Hopefully we and he can make it through the next 2 weeks with some semblance of sanity.

Happy Thanksgiving!

By BK -
We've got so much to be Thankful for this year! especially all of the help and well wishes we've received from all of you. We've got a healthy baby boy, with a couple of major issues, but all things that can be dealt with in time. We're so happy and lucky to have him. We're finding out fast that there are some great people down here that have offered their ears, their arms, and their wallets to us. We've got great support almost nationwide too! So as a quick little sign of thanks we've got this little video for you all to see the little guy in action.

Surgery Update Numero Tres

By BK -
We're in his room with him right now! He's rather puffy right now and his bandages come down to the tip of his nose, but he's here with us. Everyone says he's done very well. His bandages almost make it look like he's just got a big white winter cap on pulled low on his head. He's pretty quiet right now since he's still sleeping off some of the anesthesia. He's got an IV going to give him some extra fluids and he's on oxygen for the time being. Both of us are rather hungry since we could barely eat anything this morning and now that its all over we're realizing we haven't really eaten much of anything since 6:30 this morning and its just past 2pm now. We're still trying to figure out the lay of the land here in the PCA section of the hospital, but it sounds like one of us should be here at all times to watch over him, which puts a little monkey wrench into our plan of getting Rachel out to the RPA 15th anniversary party on Friday
