Brandon Surgery! Gavin and the great outdoors!

Brandon Had surgery on Tues. He did really great! He had two pins put in his ankle. It only took about 45 min. He came out and was joking around about bungee jumping ( much to my not liking this) and went home about 45 min after surgery. He had a nerve block so he didn't feel his foot for the first 24 hrs so other then the big cast on his leg you would have never guessed he had surgery. He is doing well now but is bored out of his mind and hates crutches. Gavin had the fun part of surgery he got to go to the Children's Museum with Ben and emma! Thanks again you guys!

Gavin for his birthday got a sand box and we finally got sand for it! He has been having a great time in it. He loves the new back yard and all the running around he can do. He is doing great in therapy for the most part. He is getting a speech therapist on Tues.. He is saying a few words now.. Up, Car, Ball, Cat, outside. We are working on more everyday!! He has a swallow study comingup in Aug. so that we can see if his swallowing has changed since the tonsils came out. So we are just praying that maybe he can eat big boy food!!!

We also went to Haley's 2nd birthday today! We had a lot of fun! HAPPY BIRTHDAY HALEY!!!

Dr apt's Birthdays and surgery

I really have sucked at up udateing this. Sorry

SO anyways Gavin had his surgery on the 10th of june. It went well for the most part. We found out that codeine makes him hyper so we had a night of no sleep and nurses waking him for breathing treatments. yeah fun!!! WE got home and he had good days and bad days but over all we have seen an improvement in him. He is making out more words witch may me that his adenoids were to big so he didn't hear himself talking other then like a muffled sound. So that could have improved it. Other wise we haven't really found much else out. It is kind of a waiting game to see how he improves and then to decide what the next step is.

Gavin had his Second Birthday! It was a great party. We had a lot of his little friends come and i think that they all had a great time. It was fun to see him with all the little kids running around!! He was scared of his cake so we sang to him with no cake. And Amber ( brandon's ex student) Gave him a little Einstein's ball and he found it before we started opening presents and well he was done after that. He just wanted the ball. It was funny!! Thanks to everyone who could make it!!!

Brandon has surgery next week on his ankle. So we are in scramble mode to try to get anything left that is big to do done on the house so that he can just sit and relax and get better after surgery! Keep him in your thoughts!!
