Week 4

Here are a few pictures of the week, then on to the NEW EAR!!! So, Brennan bowled for the first time!!! He LOVES it! The lightest bowling ball is 6 lbs. so B had to do the side swing with daddy helping him There it goes! He played a whole game and could have played all day... I think we might have to sign him up for a league :) Hanging out at the park... just walking around, no swings or slides allowed yet Our friends, the Nunez Family, came to hang out with us for a bit! B's friend from preschool was having his surgery today. Yesterday I sent this picture to his mommy! Fernando is having getting his new ear soon from the same doctor! He is getting the 'tissue expander' technique so this was the first stage surgery. We plan on visiting him at his home soon! Pnuts 2nd Birthday is tomorrow and we had a little birthday celebration for her in her class today! Isn't she the cutest princess! :) ............................................................................................................. Today's appointment pictures!!! The tourist shot Monkey getting his bandages taken of finally! B was so excited for monkey! B's turn, he is intently watching a movie on the TV in the office... makes it all so easy :) Outline of the cup, and a rash on his cheek Time to wash his hair and ears He loves this part! drying off His ear is quite swollen. It will go down and take a few months to show the definition in his ear. Dr. Lewin says it all looks great! He has a rash on his cheek and some rash on his ear, so we will be using a cream to help with that. It's all shiny from the cream on it. Now he is cup and hat free!!!

Dr. Lewin and B!!!

Things we had to buy:

-Ointment to use on his cheek and ear 2x a day (on his cheeks utill the rash goes away and on his ear for a month)

-Dandruff Shampoo to wash his hair every day (it's been a while since he has taken a regular bath, can't wait!)

-Antibacterial soap (I need to gently rub and wash his ear once a day)... yikes, I'm just a bit nervous about that)

He is so happy!!!

Me and my boy!!!

So now B is asleep, in his own bed. He has been in his bed for over a week. Now that the cup is off, I am slightly nervous. I had thought of having him sleep with us again but I am just trying not to let my nerves get in the way and relax a little and realize that he should be in his own bed. It doesn't mean I won't be checking on him a lot though with the video monitor :) Hopefully I'll get some sleep tonight :)
