E's surgery

The picture above is E the day after his surgery...No need to really explain..but yeah, he was not feeling so hot. This was the holding room he was in after surgery. He was kept there for two days.
He had no interest in his ice cream treat, drinking or much of anything..And, that is when I would start to sing..He had no strength to even tell me to stop..ha ha ha..I tease. 
Sierra and Cormic during an evening visit.
E on his walk..Think Dad is on the phone with family.
And, of course Ry taking Cormic for a spin on a darn wheel chair in E's new room. This man likes to clown around most of the time..but he's definately the hero of our family. Ry was the only one at the hospital during Ezekiel's surgery. When I went to the hospital the next day..all E could do was talk about how "Dad carried me on his back into the ER because we had to park so far away.".."Do you know that Dad didn't leave me once?" And, the stories went on and on.  I kept asking Ry how he was holding up and he just held onto the positive and said things like "I've never had so much alone time with him before."

Kids are busy on the gifts that were sent to E from Grandma Bev, Grandpa Dave and Aunt Katie's family. They were great gift ideas, so thanks! And, helped pass some time.
Ezekiel's first solid meal. His choice? A cheese pizza..ummm
And, E's last photo at the hospital....3 hours after this shot....he's back home. Yeah!! It's over!!  

Surgery for Ezekiel

Just wanted to state that Ezekiel had emergency surgery late Monday night for appendicitis.  Thankfully, Ry worked day shift that day and took him into a walk in clinic that evening and from there...it led to Vanderbilt Children's hospital. Ezekiel is upset with me because I took the camera into his room. And, Ry's response to him was "What did you expect son?" So, ya..you will be able to see the poor little man in his hospital gown.  Well, they said he might be in the hospital until Friday... 

When the kids are bored

Ry and I were very proud of the older two kids for always having the "open door policy" with Cormic. Then, we heard Ezek and Sierra laughing in the bed room and we asked what was going on..So, then they came out with the above, Cormicall dressed up..Yes, he loved it.      


Cormic in his pj's.  The young man is so close to walking.
