It has been a week!

All is well with Wyatt....... Stitches have started falling out, and the bruising is almost gone. He did amazingly well, and I am glad it is all behind us. Funny story........ As you all know from seeing earlier posts Wyatt is in glasses for at least 4 hours a day. It has taken time, but now he will leave them alone for the most part. We had not been wearing them to church, before and after Church on Sundays is when we wear them. We did go to Worship only on Sunday( with strict instructions for no one in the nursery to change him, but page us if he needed to be changed) We are still using using certain changing procedures, and besides it would be hard on a new caregiver to see Wyatt's penis! Back to the story, we go to church and Justin asks if he should take Wyatt's glasses off and leave them in the truck? I said I think he will be okay with them on because he does not mess with them anymore. In we go, and I was stopped at his nursery by his teacher( she is an elder in our church). She out loud says to me, How are you? How is Wyatt feeling? And, then she whispers to me I thought he was circumcised, why the glasses? I got a laugh out of that, and explained we have been in glasses awhile, but it was more like glasses in training, and now that we leave them on we wear them more places!!!! I reassured her they did not operate on the wrong anatomy of his body........ Looking back I told Justin maybe that was the wrong Sunday to have him wear his glasses!!!!!

Wyatt's "Special Day"

We thought we would post these for a quick fix for all you bloggers. Lisa is currently feeding Wyatt at the moment so you are getting second string for now. I am sure you will get another update before the night is over.

First off Wyatt is doing fine, much better then I thought he would be (or than I would be) after a procedure like this.

The picture with Lisa is pre op just after the meds started kicking in. The gown was about three sizes to big and every time he moved in it his arm would come out and you have to find the right hole to put it back in.

The picture with me is post op, Wyatt just waking up. He was good for the most part, but got more upset the longer we stayed there. The nurse thought he might be in pain so we gave him something for it. Turned out that he was just hungry, as we found out in the car when he started eating Cheerios as fast as Lisa would give them to him.

When we got home Wyatt finally got to eat his first meal of the day. After lunch he was running around almost as if nothing had happened. Lisa kept letting him get away with stuff that he could never get away with on any other day. She said it was his "Special Day". I thought about that for a second and responded with there is nothing "Special" about today. In fact today would rank pretty high on the top ten worst days of his life.

The other pictures are of Wyatt on the floor playing with the trash can liner that just happened to be out because it was trash day. This is one of the big "No No's" in moms world. He was loving it, climbing in and out and riding it like a horse (which you would think would really hurt), and pushing it about the kitchen.

So that is all from me, like I said Lisa will edit or add to this post. Thank you for all your prayers.

Surgery Information

We will be at the hospital at 8:00am ,and surgery is scheduled for 9:30am. I expect that we should be home early afternoon resting...... I will let everyone know that we made it back, and that all is well with Wyatt.

Thanks again for lifting him up in prayer!

Prayer Request

On Tuesday Wyatt will have a circumcision done at St Francis Children's Hospital. This has been a hard discussion to have in our home. As parents we have not completely agreed on how to handle this, one of us was all for it, and the other one was not. Now, let me say that the reason one was not for it was because of the pain that we know he will have to go through. Since this is an elective surgery, it was difficult to make the decision to put him through the pain and discomfort. It did not help that our Urologist said it would look as if it had been gnawed on the next 10 days, and at pre op we were told he would wake up from the sedation, and be mad at the world for the rest of the day! In the long run this will be a good decision, but for this next week it will stink skunks......

Please pray for no complications during surgery, and a minimum amount of discomfort during recovery. Also, pray for a speedy recovery!

I also learned that moms and dads do not always see eye to eye on the way to handle their children. I want to respect and honor Justin because we all play for the same TEAM. I am looking into the future and think about when Justin wants to get Wyatt in to the midget sprint car, which he wants to do when Wyatt is 5, and if I can not get comfortable with this hobby I want him to respect me and my decisions. You see I am learning this is give and take.......

I will update with a surgery time Monday evening, we have to call tomorrow and get the time. They do surgeries youngest to oldest so they will not know until Monday how many surgeries are scheduled for Tuesday at the hospital.

Happy Valentine's Day

What a great morning I had.......... As most of you know I have a heart for Senior Adults, and so today I took my boys and we handed out Valentine candy at a local nursing home. I told Justin yesterday that the gift I wanted for the holiday was a gift of his time. So we packed up and went to share our love with others this morning!Also, the picture of Wyatt, the elder lady, and dog was a sweet moment. She was placed in the nursing home earlier in the week, and after having her dog for the past 5 years she could not take her along on the move. So we picked the dog up, and took her to the home for a visit( visits are allowed), and even worked it out where the dog got to stay for a total of 5 hours today. I think it is never to early to teach Wyatt about respect for our elders, and I do not want him to ever be scared of the wheelchairs, walkers, and scooters he sees in the facility. He enjoyed riding on this scooter a little to much. Maybe next visit Pops will feel like taking him up the hall in the scooter, Wyatt would get a big kick out of the ride! I could see it in the eye's of the people we visited with how much they loved our time together. Valentine's Day is all about love, and love happens in many different forms!

Did not know if I should laugh or cry?

Do you ever have one of those days where nothing goes right? Well today was one of those days, actually it has been one of those weeks. I took my eyes off of Wyatt for less than 5 minutes, and this is what I walked in to. Now, the reason I am not sure if I am suppose to laugh or cry is because this is the 2nd time this has happened in less than a week. Both times they were new rolls of toilet paper, and both times he cleared the roll! In fact last time it happened we had a discussion, he cried, and then I get a Kleenex to wipe his nose.( Why would I get a Kleenex when I have all this available toilet paper?) Before, anyone suggests I close the door to the bathroom, my dilemma with that is that Bailey( dog) sleeps in the closet, odd place I know but I think it is so she can get away from Wyatt. I am really going to have to rethink strategy here because obviously I do not want to create a bigger budget for toilet paper!

In exactly one month my little guy turns "2". Wow, how quickly the time has flown!
