Well, it's been two weeks and William is doing great! You would never know he even had surgery. He looks good and it progressing just fine. And one Friday he can start playing on straddle toys again!
Things have been crazy lately, with helping Will recoup, business pouring in, Dan still working full time for the state and Vinny becoming too smart for all our good we hardly have time for anything else.
Speaking of Vinny, he's started going to my sister-in-laws daycare, which is really more preschool than daycare, once a week. And he is loving it! He has such a blast playing with them all day, and it is giving him more socializing opportunities, which is wonderful for everyone.
Also, the 4 year old pain in the rear is almost potty trained. I know, I know, 4 and not potty trained! What the heck? This kid would not for the life of me use the dang toilet until recently. He is prefect with going potty, but #2 is still an issue. We are working on it and hoping the kid will get it together sooner than later.

Back on the blog
Hi to anyone who views this anymore. So... No one! :) I am trying to get this started back because there has been a lot going on in my family, my state and my country.
Family first. As anyone who knows me knows by now, my 10 month old son had surgery last week. Doernbecher's was amazing, the staff were absolutely fantastic. In particular there was Twila and Emma. Twila was "the numbers lady" who took his stats and all that prep. She could have just come in and taken the numbers. Instead she showed William everything that she was going to use and explained to HIM how they worked. Will was just mesmerized. She showed him the sounds the machine made, let him place with the toe sensor before putting it on him. She cooed and played him, he brightened up whenever she came in.
Emma was our other main nurse. She explained everything to us and even got Will his last drink before the deadline. She made us feel comfortable and at easy. Everything was just fantastic.
The wait was long, of course, but the waiting room was comfortable, the view was amazing. They had free wifi (Dan and I both had our laptops) so we got to check out e-mail and play some on-line games.
The whole time I felt calm and assured. Our Doctor, Aaron Bayne was simply wonderful from day one! I KNEW he would do everything he could for our little guy. And he did. After hours of waiting he came out and told us that it was 100% success. He said everything was now in the right place and that our little trooper was doing fantastic.
An hour later we got to go into the recovery room. Once he was waking up I got to hold him. Once he started he was wide awake and we got to leave the recovery room and move into our own little corner of the hospital. Within an hour we were able to take him home.
I have to say, while having a baby go under the knife is never ideal, things went swimmingly. I could not be more pleased with all involved.
