Brians cast is off!

Well, its finally off.
Brian got his cast off on Thursday. If it was up to him, it would still be on. It will be awhile before we can really tell if it worked or not. He needs to regain his strength in that foot.
Moooommmm, why cant I have ice cream? I ate all my breakfast!
Brian and Alex went to a bowling birthday party today.
They both had alot of fun.

Alex turned 4!

Saturday was Alexs birthday. I bought him a donut when he got up and he was so excited that it was his birthday donut.



He played all day and then in the afternoon we got him a small cake and some presents. He was very happy. He is very proud of himself because he gave Miss Sara all his sippy cups to give to baby Sadie. He is supposed to give her all his binks but we did not push the issue. He tried to go to bed without it last nite. He didnt even ask. Afyer an hour of him calling me for random things, I gave it to him and he fell asleep within 5 minutes.


Here are some fun randam pics that we have taken.
Alex blueberry picking, Brian riding a pony and the
boys just loving each other.


On another good note, Brian will get his cast off this Thursday. I will be sure to post those for you all to see.

Fun in July

We recently went to a 4th of July/B-day party. C and the kids played Guitar Hero for the first time.

Here is Alex being silly in the garage today.

We went to see Brians orthopedic and neurologist last week. His cast will come off August 7th. Brian can put alittle pressure on it so he has used the walker all weekend. No more wheelchair for him.

As far as neurology, he is doing great. There was nothing in the MRI that the Dr didn't already know. We were told symptoms to watch out for as far as the Chairi. He does not want to see him again in a year unless he has any complications.

Enjoy your week!

Brians Surgery went great!

Well, Brian did wonderful! We got to Hasbro at 6:30ish and Brian was prepped to go in for about 7:30 8ish. He drove the red car down the hallway. He had C go in with him. He picked grape for his gas mask flavor. C said he did great. No tears, no fuss. He was so good.

He was done by 11. When we went into recovery Brian was alittle groggy at first and pretty emotional but once the anesthesia wore off, he was his old self...laughing and being silly. We went up to a room for observation and all Brian did was eat! crackers, tunafish, bread roll, cinnamon bun, more crackers...lol.

Needless to say, the dr said he could go home. So, we went home around 6ish. Brian had a great night....went to bed about 9 and is up now at a LOVELY 6AM! He has been up since 5! Its going to be a long summer...lol
This is Brian waiting, playing the wii


Here he is getting in to his vehicle


This is recovery room after he was feeling better.




Here he is in his room, eating his crackers thinking, MOM, cant ya see I'm busy eating!
Here is his ride to the OR

I hope you all have a happy and safe 4th of July!
