Wow, I can't believe it's 2008! HAPPY NEW YEAR! Our Christmas was fantastic -- and I've uploaded a lot of new pictures to the December 2007 Album!
Jack had botox injections on December 31st and the procedure went very well. He was so brave! He cooperated and was excited to wear the jammies (hospital gown) and get into bed. He was put under general anesthesia and was given injections in his both legs in the hamstrings, gastrocks, upper arm, forearm, and thumb on the right side. Right before they gave him the mask to go to sleep he asked me to sing "The Wheels on the Bus" and the Dr. and anesthesiologist chimed in too! I learned both have kids under two years old -- so they were pros at all the verses! He woke up and started bouncing around -- and after he took some juice and rested a while we were free to go home. We will be heading to PT and OT several times a week for the next few weeks to maximize the benefit of looser muscles and help Jack gain strength that will hopefully carry over after the botox wears off.
Jason had off from work from December 21st until Jan 2nd! It was so nice to have daddy home for so many days in a row! We had so much fun on "vacation" and I was sad when he had to go back to work! We enjoyed the downtime and played with the kids, went shopping, and basically just stuck around the house and took it easy. We did go to Chocolate World in Hershey and the kids had a great time! They were fanstastic and gave us the "Royal Treatment" when it came to disabled access. We didn't have to wait in line and they had a special wheelchair ramp to get on to the tour ride!

I really hope your holidays were happy and safe! I promise not to be such a stranger to the blogging world now that things have settled down! To my blogging buddies -- I've been reading and catching up...now I'll just have to come out of "lurking" and tell you all how much I've missed you!!
sounds like y had fun
ReplyDeleteI am glad the botox went well. It is something that I have been looking into and we have a consult this month, so I am always curious to read about the procedure and how the kids react to it.
ReplyDeleteHappy New Year!
FUN! I've always wanted to go there!
