October 22, 2006 - 6 Days After Surgery

Well, we've been back home since late Thursday evening and I think that Aiden is happy to be back. He has been sleeping much better, and really seems to be in great spirits. He has been playing up a storm with his brother and eating really well too. Aiden hasn't been out much, his only trip out of the house was a walk to the Taste of Country store with Ric, Noah and Bev on Sunday afternoon. It was a beautiful day here. They went into the store for a few minutes to look around and then walked back home (Aiden wore a sweater with a hood to the store - I think it would really freak people out to see a little guy with a partially shaved head and a big ugly bandage whether he was smiling the whole time or not!)

Ric, Noah and Aiden left for Ottawa at 5:00 tonight for a post-op appointment that Aiden has with his surgeon at 8:45 tomorrow morning. I work tomorrow, so I'm holding down the fort here. Noah says before they left, "Mommy, I will miss you, what are you ever going to do without us?" Too cute :> Actually, I haven't been here at this house alone for several years, but I think I'll manage...

PS: My Dad took these pictures at my parents' house of Ric and Aiden last night after "the boys" arrived in Ottawa. I'm not sure whether this bandage will be gone by tomorrow or not!
