Catch Up #1 - Eyes

I haven't had to do a whole seris of posts to catch-up yet, until now. There are too many pictures and fun activities to put into one post.

After dividing them up I've got 3 full posts of activities that are finished and scheduled to go out each day this week - check back to see all of our fun activities.

First update, Brode's eyes. He has been doing great! We're already 4 weeks post-op. It doesn't seem like it could be that long ago, but on the same note it doesn't seem like he hever had the surgery. He did great!

He spent 10 days off of day care between holidays, weekends, and a vacation week recovering with me at home.

Here you can see the redness that was in his eyes the week of surgery, but it only took a week for the redness to get drastically better. He still has a bit on the inside of the right eye, but that was expected.

We've got an appointment on the 25th to get them re-checked and see how much of a difference the surgery actually made. Hoping for all good news.

After surgery Brode was spoiled with presents! He got cards and presents galore for being so brave and tough.

Dane's parents were in Florida the week Brode had surgery and somehow got this giant Disney bag/present into their luggage on the way home for the little guy.

He loves his "Pirates of the Caribbean" Mickey pirate set. Whenever we play Brode gets everything while we get the little rowboat and Minnie Mouse.

Brode also got an autographed picture of Ovechkin from Dane after surgery. For those of you that know Brode know how much he loves Ovechkin! He has his picture displayed in his sports room.

Stay tuned for tomorrow's Catch Up #2 to see what other very LARGE post-surgery present Brode received.
