Day 6 Post Surgery

Here's our smiling boy!!
(click on picture to see him better!)

His smiles these days are few and far between, 

but he's doing pretty good, healing nicely.

He had his post op appointment today and 

the doctor said he'll be clingy and sad for another week or two

One hard part post surgery is he's almost untrusting, 

he won't lay down for naps or bedtime, 

not being able to lay him down til at least 1am

and then only sleeping for an hour at a time or so.

He also needs to kind of re-learn how to use his new mouth, 

with eating baby food.

He's drinking his bottle great though.

SO

We are loving him, reassuring him, kissing him 

holding him, and blessing him

all the time.

We thank you again for all the prayers and sacrifices, 

meals, and help from friends,

with the other kiddos,

all such blessings to us.
