Benjamin's Cast-Off Pictures! :)

Well, here they are!! This is the first part of Ben's big day!! His first birthday started out with Cheerios and bananas and then moved on to the hospital and some cast relief! Take a look!

Grandma sweet and Benjamin walking around the doctors office!! He learned to walk completely on his own the day before his birthday!!! BUT, now with his cast off, I think he's gone back to needing a hand. He is SO timid with his hand now that he walks on his knee's instead of crawling even!! He's slowly using his hand more now though:)
First she took off the blue outer "car/truck" layer.
They didn't get a pic of the machine, but they used this buzz saw thing that vibrated. The loudness and vibrations scared him, but the saw itself was harmless.
Off comes the cast!
Next is time to take off the gauze underneath!
It's hard to see in this pic but if you look hard you can see a white ball on top of his THUMB ( singular!! ). That ball is screwed on to the HUGE pin they put in his thumb.
This was the hard and painful part. It was a struggle to get that long pin out and he did NOT like it:(
Here it is....this thing was WAY LONG!
Starting to feel better. Wrapped it up again till the doc came....which took a way long time:(



Time for his first real bath in a long time!! He had fun till I had to scrub his arm and thumb to get the yuck off and the scabs...

He is doing fine now. His arm and hard stayed in the cast position for awhile after the appointment and still reverts back here and there. It will take awhile to get back to normal. Yesterday he started eating a bit with it but his thumb is still tender and he doesn't like it being touched to much..of course! It's a little swollen and bruised but looks really pretty good! Thank you JESUS for taking care of my little Benjamin!!!

Benjamin is doing great~!

Benjamin came through his surgery really well thanks to God and all your prayers!! He was a little lethargic in the beginning ( of course ) but the rest of the day he was crawling around ( now we call him thumper cause of the sound his cast makes as he speed crawls through the house). He has a cute blue cast on with cars/trucks all over it:) He is still getting use to that big heavy blue thing that just appeared on his arm, but is adjusting to it well. Still is standing up on his own and has pretty good balance! Here are some pics from the day!


Taking vitals...




This is the happy-and-forgot-I'm-hungry time!


A few last shots of my super thumbs!!!



Oh ya.....I'm STARVING!!!


All done and all pooped out!


Time to go sleepy head....


Feeling much better now!!!

Prayer for Benjamin

Well folks, Benjamin's FIRST big day is tomorrow. His surgery is at 1pm Midwest time and I am asking for prayer for him and us during this time. His surgery should be about 30 minutes and then some recovery time. As soon as he starts to wake up they will let us back there with him. Thank you all for your prayers and thank you JESUS for my fantastic little man!!! God bless you all!!

15 weeks in the womb!

One day old:)

Such a funny pic! This kids got PERSONALITY!

Ben's Hospital Visit






Well we JUST made it to Ben's appointment today. I didn't realize there was security to go through at a hospital! Plus, getting to the actual surgery clinic was a maze that we had a personal escort to help us go through. His appointment was pretty short, and even though I forgot the CD of his ultra sound, the doc knew just what it was. It's a fluid filled hernia:( Yes...a hernia.... Sooooo, he will be having surgery, NEXT WEEK!! Thursday, January 28Th around noon time would be a great time to give up any prayers to him for a safe surgery. It's a 30 minute surgery and not to much of a big deal...to the doctors. Now to me, the mommy, any slice into my son is a big deal. BUT, rest assured that God is in control and can watch over him much better then I ever could! Here are some pics of our trip this afternoon. There were some really cool hanging sculptures there! It's quite a neat, brightly colored and fun children's hospital! I'm thankful it is available for Him for BOTH of his upcoming surgeries.
