It's been awhile...

It's been awhile since I've wrote on this blog. I guess life just gets busy, and I get more forgetful.

We've only had followup appointments since Kaiden's big surgery in March. He's been looking great! We've been so blessed that the surgery went so well. It did take a long time to get over the guilt of putting our baby through that. But now that we see the real results, we realize we did make the right decision.

Just when we start to almost forget about what this kid has been through, something pops up. It will be a lifetime roller coaster ride of happiness, then worry. Unfortunately right now, there seems to be a little bit of swelling infront of his ear. Two hard lumps seem to have popped up from nowhere. We do have another followup appointment on Tuesday, which is great timing, so I will bring it up to the attention of our doctor. It just sucks...just kind of a wait and see thing.

Also, the timing couldn't really get any worse! We have another baby on the way, due January 29th and it's coming quickly. If we need to book ultrasounds or an injection appointment, they may just have to wait until after the arrival of this new little one. I know worrying and stressing out about it isn't good for me, but how do you not! I once again wish I could just take this all away from him. But I have to try and stay positive, and pray the swelling will reside on it's own. This is the first time we have had random swelling without reason, since surgery. He did have some swelling when he had a double ear and throat infection, but it resided once the infection was over. Now, he seems healthy, so not sure what is causing this all of a sudden. It makes me realize this really is a lifetime journey for this boy, and us.
