A little update

Today, Benjamin and I made our way to Austin and back for another helmet check. Thanks to Ms. Carol for keeping the big kids! The appointment went very smoothly, praise God! The helmet was, again, tight on the back/top part of his head, which is where the bone is growing in. How amazing technology and the medical field are, but not nearly as amazing as our God! Bud, the orthotist, said that he really doesn't think it will be much longer till Benjamin is done. Now, we're not sure exactly what that means as far as exactly when, but we know it means we are continuing in the right direction. Yipee!!! The warmer it gets, the more uncomfortable I see Benjamin getting. And let's not even start about the smell!

Tomorrow we go to the ENT for a follow up from his last ear infection. That's the ear infection where the doctor told us that his ear drum hadn't burst... yet. This is also the same ear infection that required over two weeks of two different antibiotics, and I'm still not sure he's 100%. So, we'll see.

And of course, Benjamin's birthday is this Sunday!! We are very much looking forward to celebrating his first year. What a year it's been! I'm hoping to blog a bit over the next few days about his birth.

Until then, here's one of my new favorite pictures. Benjamin has learned a new "trick", hugging! Doesn't get much better than this!
