Take me out to the ball game...Take me out to the crowd...

So VERY appropriate for Skyler, I think we are going to teach him that song before we head to the game tomorrow and have him belt it through out the hall ways on our way out :P

He is pretty excited, tonight when I showed up with Seth he told me "Mom we are going to the baseball game tomorrow!!" Half of me really thinks he knows what that means! This little man has become quite knowledgable over the past few weeks, it's cool but a little weird, pretty soon spelling out letters won't W-O-R-K

He is doing very well. Last night before I left for home, Dr Egbert came in and turned the pins (This was the first time we have seen him since Monday) and decided that the Left side (june 1 operation) should start to be turned 2 times in the morning and 1 time at night. It is getting very tough to turn, like literally cranking it...so he is saying the bone is healing nicely and so we have to get ahead of it again. The Right side (June 12 operation) is still doing well. The sight is still oozing a bit, but we guaze it up during day so it doesn't get to yucky. Turning that is going ok still. Skyler hollared tonight, but mike was sure it was because there was a scab...?? who knows anymore! His weight is great, he has had plenty of visitors (We thank you all!!!) and every time he blinks an eye someone is handing him a toy car, sticker, beanie baby or chocolate milk!! Honestly...that is the life.

And get this, those of you who really know Skyler and know how "busy" he can be. He has not one bruise on his knees!! No joke, his little chicken legs have had a much needed break from falling, bumping scuffing you name it they saw the rath of it... And here I thought he just needed more iron and all he needed was 9 going on 10 days in the hospital!!

Seth has enjoyed his stay with Gramma. He has started talking so much. I hadn't seen him since Tuesday and that was mostly a short visit and he wasn't talkin much. But wow!! We have words and even 2 words put together!! Makes me teary, he's almost 2.

As for mike and I. We are managing. He has been working his lil tushy off (like always) and visiting us for an hour or so each day. He stayed at the hospital last night and tonight which is nice I get to have a night or two in my bed! But I also finally got to work today. It was nice to have a change in scenary. I sure miss having my family all under OUR roof, tonight we all were but it was at Childrens, and both boys sitting in Skyler's bed and us on the sleeper couch doesn't count.

But I hope to get some good pics tomorrow with my boys and Parker (who invited us to the game in the first place!) It will be fun to get to leave for a while, tho I know those drs are very nervous...I got a "please please please PLEASE" be careful the other day. So we know they are doing a huge favor for us, so we better not mess it up right?

Hope all those Fathers in everyones lives have a great day tomorrow!
All our love
