He Looked Like This

It has been a L.O.N.G couple of days.   On Wednesday, our MOST FANTASTIC Otolaryngologist performed the stoma closure surgery and declared it a success.  Shortly after the surgery Bubs looked like this...

On Thursday, Bubs was pretty grumpy {all he wanted to do was go to the car and drive home} so we spent most of the day cuddling and watching Signing Time.  On Thursday night, Mr. Man looked like this...

By Friday, Mr. Man was still grumpy, still wanted to go home, and was only pacified by endless hours of Mickey Mouse Club.  Most of the day, he looked like this...

By Friday night, Bubs looked like this...

That's right...we were discharged and on our way home.  Our MOST FANTASTIC Otolaryngologist stopped by to see us after his last surgery and noticed how well Mr. Man was doing.  He asked us if we wanted felt comfortable taking Noah home.  

Are you kidding me?  

Somehow I couldn't get the words out fast enough so I just blew him a kiss.  One hour later we were in the car making the three hour drive home.

Bubs continues to do excellent post surgery.  He has started to babble quite a bit as he explores his voice.  It is still quite hoarse and breathy but is getting stronger every day.

Thank you so much for all your prayers!  I can't wait to share with you this new path that we are on.
