A little update on the Little Man


Skyler's biggest worry isn't that he hurts, or that he can't play rough like he's used to. No it's really terrible, he's not allowed to have cookies, "dr. says so"
He's doing great! We have had no issues "KNOCK ON WOOD" this far. Our first dr appt post op is tomorrow at 9am. I am not sure if they will take any sorts of xrays, and if they did if it would show us any great moves, so we will see.

I think the hardest part is keeping it looking clean. It can get so grody so quick and then it gets red around the sites, and I am so affraid of infection. I swear Mike is irritated by my questions if it looks bad or not, I think I am a natual worrier.

Still managing to keep him entertained with the processed food. The boy even asks for 2nd and 3rds!! I can imagine if they weigh him tomorrow they won't see a drop in numbers. OINK OINK.
Seth is doing fine with all this. He got to go to Gramma Ali's the past few days, he thought that was a real treat! I guess he played in Grampa Day's tack and trailer all day long. What a rug rat. There's been a few times where he's swatted at Skyler's Jaw, not sure why, maybe Skyler's been in his face but we have had to get after him and boy you would think we took his birthday away, poor thing isn't used to being told "no".
But all is well, we are venturing out today to go play at the Children's Museum with some friends. Hoping to settle Skyler down, I thought he was stir crazy in the ICU...HA!
Here are some pics of him from before (i have posted them before but wanted to show you a before and after) surgery and then the ones from today.
