Avery News

Good Afternoon Everyone!
I am back home today, after a very stressful day
in Richmond yesterday.  I had not shared this
with you, but I will now.  We have known for a long
time that Avery was going to have to have some minor surgery
when he got a little older.  Well, the day that we had been
dreading finally came, and unfortunately it ended up being
a bit more complicated than was thought.  He is fine though.  Not 
a happy camper because he is in a good deal of pain when 
his meds wear off, but when his medicine is working he is
the same sweet little boy he always is.  Hollis has to 
keep him quiet for a few days.  That is not a problem as 
long as he is medicated, but good luck when he isn't.
He will be off the medicine about the time I 
 take care of him on Monday, so I'm a little nervous
about keeping him quiet.  Should be interesting.
~~~~~~~~~~~~
The day before his surgery, I decided to take 
pictures of him in his Easter finery, and I'm so glad
I did, because he won't be able to sit up for a while. 
So, here I go, boring you again, 
but I know you understand.


~~~~~~~~~~~~
Note the cross stitched bunny, that is a design
I did years ago called Mr.  Hare.  There is a 
Mrs. Hare as well.
The sweet sheep is what Hollis got him for
his first Easter.  The love of sheep must run
in the family. 
Wishing you a great rest of the day.  I hope
to enjoy it doing a few
"Happy Stitches".
Sandra

  9. Thank you everyone for your sweet comments about Avery. He is feeling better this morning. The problem now is that he wants to move around and play and he cannot. This is making him really unhappy. I hope he can be more mobile by Monday when I have him all by myself. We may be taking some very long strolls around the neighborhood.
    I wish you all a wonderful Easter. Sandra

  12. Your Avery is such a beautiful little boy and it's harder when their little but I still remember when our son needed surgery at the time he was in high school but this talking about doing this surgery went on from the time he was little like Avery. His chest needed a metal bar put in and them it was turned to lift his chest and stitched in place for about a year. Then the Dr. just slide it out and Noah's chest looked like the rest of the boys. Needless to say by the time this was done I felt like I had made myself sick. When the Dr. came out to see us it had only been at the most 30 minutes! And I worried and fretted all those years he was fine (in pain) but He too had meds. At any rate he fine and great today too. He is a police officer and is getting married the 28th of this month! We are so happy there is nothing like children in this world. Give your Avery a gentle hug for me and one for Mommy too. I love seeing your picture and look forward to them and not boring. Happy Easter to you and your family. Debbie
