Wordless Wednesday - The Surgery Edition

June 4th, 2008

We’ve been deep into surgery and recovery this last week, so here are a few photos of the journey.

His last day - hopefully - of standing on his toes.

He’d be appalled if he knew I was posting this picture, but he did have shorts on under the gown, and I thought the animal tables at the Children’s Hospital were so cool.

At home and more than a little strung out the first night.

I have a love/hate with this photo. I’m so proud of him for working so hard, but it also breaks my mama heart to see the struggle on his face. Eliza insisted on decorating his walker, and sweet big brother that he is, he let her. (Ignore the half-a-Mike in the background.)

But I love this one… if he’s figured out how to lay across the recliner on his tummy in order to play dominoes with Eliza, he must be feeling better.

    Oooh, the poor boy!! I’m glad to see he’s on the mend. The one where he’s walking just breaks my heart - his expression … poor little guy.

    Bless his heart! It looks like he’s making the best of it. You should be very proud!

    What a brave trooper! I agree the look on his face in the therapy shot is tough, but I am glad to see he is getting it done. It would be too easy to flop in front of the video games and not work at it.

    What a little trooper! So glad he’s feeling better.

    Kids are so amazingly resilient! So glad to see the Griff is up and running! Well, almost!

    That picture of him with the walker is heart breaking! You can tell on his face how hard he is working. I bet a week or two you’ll have to force him to slow down!

    Thanks for the update!
