follow up

we had aiden's follow up appt from his surgery - everything looks GREAT! aiden's ears are clear and tubes look good and his hearing is good! yay aiden!! we go back in 3 months to have the doctor check the tubes.

aiden is getting so big! is crusing between the couches and table - grammy bought him a pushing walker toy and he LOVES it - i'll have to get video of him "walking" he loves playing with his blocks (the dogs love them too) he is becoming so active! he's also finally wanting to eat solids. yeah - he would eat them before - but he wouldn't eat much. well ever since Thanksgiving he has been an eating machine! he is eating so much more! and not needing so much formula - which also means he is growing up!

i can't believe i'm going to have a 9 month old in 3 days!!

surgery day!

well aiden did GREAT today! i was so proud of him. he was so confused as to why we were waking him up so early this morning...

We got to the outpatient center at 5:45am - we needed to be there at 6am - we got everything paid and signed some papers and then we got to go back - sign some more papers and then get aiden dressed in his little hospital gown.... isn't he cute!


Finally around 6:30am they gave him medicine to make him loopy.... it took a little - but it finally started to take affect...


he LOVED his hospital bracelet on his foot - he kept trying to grab it!

he was out of surgery around 7:30am - we talked to the doctor and he said everything was great - he had a LOT of junk that had to get suctioned out and he had some inflammation - so he said he would have some drainage for the next couple days. aiden was crying by the time we got back to see him - and we fed him and were out of the hospital by 8am and we had him home and asleep by 8:25am.... he slept for 4 hours! (while mommy went to a meeting for work)

he's been in very good spirits today - a little fussy... but nothing that we didn't expect. i'm exhausted - i've been up since about 4:30-5am... time to go to bed!
