Julia's New Do

Just a quick update on Julia and Aaron.  Julia had surgery last Monday to put in her permanent GI tube.  She came home last Thursday and is healing and doing very well.  It is wonderful to not have that NG tube taped to her face all the time and I am sure she is more comfortable not having a tube down her nose and throat!   Her hair is slowly getting longer.  It's hard to decide what to do with it.  She is still most comfortable and happy laying down.  Unfortunately, this is conducive to messy, matted hair!  I guess this picture below shows my first attempt at keeping her growing bangs out of her face without having to cut them.  We'll see how it goes......

Aaron and I are taking a trip up to Philadelphia this coming Monday afternoon.  We will stay over up there and his evaluation by the pediatric orthopedic center at Shriner's is on Tuesday, August 23.   The following Monday he has outpatient surgery to straighten his eyes.

On top of all of this, I am in the process of getting everything ready for this next school year.  Kacey and I started 7th grade as of today and Ethan will be starting 2nd grade as soon as I can get his curriculum organized and ready to go.  As I have mentioned before,  Aaron and Regan are going to attend 4 year old preschool at our church, which thankfully doesn't start until after Labor Day weekend.  This will be three (MWF) mornings a week......we are sure they are both going to enjoy this!

  10. We are overflowing with Zevex bags and Mic-key extension tubings here. Most insurance only pays for thirty bags and three tubes per month. Do you need extra? We are happy to share.

  11. About two weeks ago I had out-patient surgery on my eyes for strabismus (they changed the length of my eye muscles so my eyes would both look at the same spot and I wouldn't see double anymore.) From what you wrote about the surgery being to straighten his eyes, it sounded like it could be a similar surgery. I just wanted to say that the recover for me went well and was a relatively painless surgery. My eyes were sore and sensitive to light for about 3 to 4 days and then were just annoying/itchy for about 3 to 4 more days. I hope and pray that Aarons surgery goes well and that the doctors appointments are productive as well!
