Connor's Progress

Well it has been a week since Connor's surgery and we are home and he is on the road to recovery.  According to the doctor everying went really smoothly during the surgery.  Since being home Connor has been dealing with some paid from headaches, which they say is typical for this kind of surgery. 

This is a picture of Connor on Christmas Day, our first day out of bed sitting up watching some cartoons. He was a brave little guy!

Here is the area where he had surgery at.  Once the hair grows back he should only have about a one inch scar that will show.

Connor was so happy to have Keith come and visit him in the hospital on Christmas Day!

Connor goes next week to have his stitches out.  They may have to give him some medicine to help him relax in order to get this accomplished, he is very sensitive to being touched.  We have been very blessed this week by our church family that have provided several meals for our family. That has been so very nice as we have been extra busy taking care of Connor and the boys.  Looking forward to Connor recovering quickly and catching up to where he should be developmentally!  More updates to come! 

Connor

This is ust a little update on what is going on with our family right now in regards to Connor in particular. Connor had a second MRI this past Friday 12/11/09.  The neurosurgeon is recomending at this point that we go ahead with the Chiari Decompression surgery.  Juan and I have talked and prayed about it and debates the pros and cons.  We have made the hard decision to go ahead and have the surgery for Connor.  He is scheduled for surgery on 12/23, and he will be in the hospital for 4-5 days.  This will be a hard Christmas with us all separated for for Christmas but we are praying that this is what will be best for Connor and that this will help him so much!  I will try to keep everyone updated via Facebook and occasionally on here too.  That is if I can remember to take the time to sit down and write it all down.  Everyone's prayers would be greatly appreciated!!
