I cant believe how much everything has changed in about 11 days! On my drive home this afternoon I couldnt help but gawk at how green things are. Coming into town I noticed a few buildings being torn down also. I havent had time to catch my breath since I've been home. I have been taking care of a few bills and had to take time out to visit my newest nephew! He does my heart wonders! I also had to get a few things together to finish our dreaded taxes and a few parework stuff that the hospital needed.
C is holding his own, and doing as good as can be expected. I miss him and I feel like I'm neglecting him by coming home, but on the other hand its a break that I've needed. Staring at the same four walls day in and day out can make one go stir-crazy. Not to mention the same cafeteria food can become barfish. C has another surgery scheduled for friday and the doc wants to concentrate on his jawline, his one thumb, and the backs of his arms. Granted that he can get enough donor skin from C's head to do all that. If not some of his arms will have to wait until the next time. Some aspects of this would fascinate me if it werent for it being my son having to go through this. Praise God, the doc said that C wont need surgery on his hands just a lot of therapy and he's happy with the way they are healing!!!! :)
A few people have been asking for piks while C is in the hospital and I will just mention that I will not be posting any for this time. I myself dont want any memeories of how he looked in the hospital, I am afraid that will be forever etched in my memory the way it is. As C progresses I may post a few but for right now I will not. I will chat back later!

Good idea on not posting any pictures. I cry when I think back to Sunday when I saw him. I am glad that you stopped in and snuggled our little guy. If things go well on Monday at the dr. we will spend a day with you next week. Take it easy and I will pray that things go well on Friday!

AMY, I think its prob not a good idea to share pics right now, but I wanted to tell you,2 years ago when my Mom had breast cancer, and then had to have emergency open heart surgery, I took a picture of her "fresh" out of surgery- she looked awful... I look at it occasionally now, to remember just how bad it was, and how much better she is now.. We also have pics of her when her hair was falling out- it was really sad and stressful, but again, looking back, it makes us appreciate having her now.. I'd be happy to email those pics to you, if it would be any encouragement to you. OK, just really wanted to share that with you. I hope you're holding up ok, I've been praying for you
