His favorite meal....pancakes.....on his birthday.
Playing with his new "farm".
Discovering the wonders of a flower with his beloved Grams.
Third day after surgery........looking good!! I just adore that smile.Sorry I've been gone so long......it seems as if my life has just been a whirlwind of activity! But I have to ask myself......"if you've been so busy, why haven't you got anything DONE?" LOL. I'm finding out that the older I get, the faster time flies, and the slower I get. And the two just don't mix well! I am still thrilled to be keeping my little lovebug during the week, and by the time he goes home in the evening, I am just whooped, which does NOTHING for my "to do" list. But I don't stress over it so much anymore......I am learning to accept it, and not beat myself up over it. As fast as his Mommy grew up, I think he is growing up ten times faster! We celebrated his second birthday this last week, and was such a double edged sword for me. I am in such awe of his milestones and accomplishments, and eagerly anticipate his daily discoveries, and yet, I find myself longing for the "baby days". To sit and hold him and rock and sing to him for hours while he looks at me with wonder......those days are long gone. He is perpetual motion at all times now, unless he is sleeping. ALL boy, this one! And at the same time, so sweet and tender-hearted.
(reminds me of my Daddy that way). His vocabulary has blossomed the past few weeks, and is quite the little "repeater". Which gives me a daily lesson to watch my tongue AND my attitude with which I speak! He continues to be consumed with anything with wheels, be it a truck, a car, a train, it doesn't matter.....if it has wheels, it's COOL! And he LOVES the farm......farm animals, farm pictures, farm books, but being ON the farm is by far the greatest. Today while we were at Mom's, he just took off up the driveway......on his own......(with his Mother not far behind him, of course) and walked all the way up to the neighbors to see the cows, and the barn with the hay,
and then all the way back again. And then ran all over the yard to boot. He was still going strong, but his Mother was pooped, and alas, we had to go inside to keep him from taking off again. His curiosity of the world fascinates me, and I hope and pray he never looses it.
My precious little Momma had eyelid surgery this past Tuesday, to remove the "droopy" that has been hindering her vision. Let's just say that I'm thankful it's over, and I pray she NEVER has to go through it again! The surgery itself wasn't TOO bad, although they had a slight problem getting her to stay deadened enough to be absolutely pain free. The mere thought of my Momma being in any pain just sickens me to the core, and she assures me it wasn't that bad.
(But I STILL hate it!) Then afterwards, we were in the post-op room, getting our instructions on home care, and she had a "vagus" episode that scared the goose liver right out of us! It looked like a cross between a stroke and a seizure.......and come to find out they are somewhat
frequent in these situations, but we had never heard of it. She came right out of it as quickly as she went into it, but it still haunts me at times. I called her primary doctor before we took her home just to double check with him about it, and we have stayed in touch the rest of the week.
I did some research on it, and these "episodes" have a varying range of degree from very mild, (like Mom's) to,......well......let's just thank God that hers was so mild, and leave it at that. I then stayed with her until Sat. evening, and she is doing remarkably well. She never bruised as badly as I had expected, and the swelling has gone down extremely. She itches something awful, though, which we were told to expect. All in all, I guess I can say it went well......and once again she amazes me with her strength and fortitude. What a blessing she is, and I am the luckiest daughter in the world to have her for my Momma!!
Oh, my! It's getting late, and I need my rest to be able to keep up with my little toddler tornado in the morning, so I will sign off for now. Thank you for checking in on me, and I will be back soon to do some more catching up. God Bless You!
