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.

  6. Oh he is so precious, Jamie! Smiling like that after all he has been through. There is so much love shinning in those beautiful blue eyes! I wish I could give him a hug and a cuddle. Please give him some love from me. We are all praying for you guys every morning.

    Do you have a Moby? Would he let you carry him around in one of those? That would free up your hands and still give him lots of cuddles. It is hard at this age, but if you have one give it a try!

    Thank you so much for keeping us updated.
