Another busy week...

So what else is new, being the parent of a very active now 1 year old (OMG - I can't believe he's already one!!!).  I missed last week's post, mostly because without the weekly trips to UNC (YAY!) I forget what day it is.  So, the first few days after surgery we took pretty slowly, and E napped a lot - probably because he was not sleeping solidly at night.  A lot of crying in his sleep, waking and not being able to go back to sleep, and mommy not sleeping much at all. Which is also contributing to my confusion about what day it is.  He's finally starting to settle down again at night, with only an occasional waking or crying out at night enough to wake me up, so I'm starting to feel a little more back to normal.  He's been fine (aside from the sleep thing).  By day two he was back to slamming his cast around for the noise it makes.  By day three he was back to pulling himself to stand and jetting all over the place as fast as he could crawl.  A week after surgery, he actually put enough weight on his foot to transition from one piece of furniture to another, so I honestly think he's going to take his first steps in this cast.
We didn't give him any of his prescription pain meds after the first day.  He didn't seem uncomfortable at all on nothing but generic Tylenol, so we left it at that.  We've made his appointment for the cast and pin removal, and it's a month away.  In the meantime, we're contemplating weaning off the paci.  Pray for us...
