I'm feeling pretty good about our decision to do both surgeries with Michael at the same time tomorrow. Not that I like the situation at all, but if he needs to have this stuff to come home, let's just get it done and heal him up and bring him home to his sisters.
Today we did a very special thing - something that we'll do again once we bring our boy home and celebrate the right way. We had our priest from St. Chris, Father Chuck, come over and baptize Mikey with his Godparents Chris and Gretchen and a special "mom" of mine from my childhood, Kathy, aka Mom2. It was a pretty special event - something quiet and simple with people that love him. And he was the best little kid today! I
didn't have to suction him at all, and he opened his eyes most of the time. We even heard him singing a little bit - I think it was mostly that Chris was holding him - but it turned out he had to let a little rip out. :)
He's holding the cards his pretty sisters made for him. I can't tell you how much it does my heart good that they accept him and his not
being home with us so well. Michailey in particular has really seemed to turn up her love towards us when we talk about him, too. The other night was really special when I was telling her about Mikey's surgeries and she just stopped what she was doing and hugged me. She told me it was ok and that Mikey was going to be ok. A 6 year old telling her Daddy it would be ok was just stunning to me. She's simply an amazing kid.
