Michael is now six days post-op and is starting to feel much better. He had some problems with a lot of neck swelling, which has made rather difficult for him to get comfy and fall asleep. But with the aide of his nifty bell, Michael is well on the road to recovery. Michael and I were fortunate enough to have his mom Judy here to help nurse him back and to look after Madelyn. Madelyn really liked having her "Ninny" here to spoil her. The constant attention of having a playmate at her beck and call for an entire week has left her starved for attention, now that Ninny has gone home. So now we affectionately keep hearing the same question over and over again, "Where did Ninny go?", "I want Ninny to read to me", "I want Ninny to hold me!" Its going to take Madelyn a while to get back into her normal routine.
Michael's miraculous recovery came the night his mom left to head back to Abilene and all of the sudden that night he felt so much better and just wanted to be up and doing things around the but house. He is feeling better, but you can just tell his energy level have a way to go before I would consider him normal again (all in relative terms).
Thank you all for calling to check up on us and for your many prayers!
