Big head, Little Body...Big Head, Little Body...Big Head..WE GET IT ALREADY!!

I now know his Tonsil and Adenoid removal was successful!!

Not only is he quieter than before, but I can NOT hear him, I wake up out of a dead sleep to the thought “OMG, the baby is dead!”

Silence. Nothing. Lean in closer to hear the faintest “bruuuu”.

So, I am convinced that while the surgery was good for him, it was bad for me.

I can’t hear him. I can’t hear him snoring, huffing or puffing. It is so quite in my room, that if he weren’t laying next to me in his co-sleeper, you’d forget he was there!

He is sleeping much better! 45 minutes naps have turned into 2-3 hour naps!! Our night time routine is now just me waking up at all hours of the night. No more “Come on Knoah, let’s watch TV.” I mean, he doesn’t even wake up when he messes is diaper. My nose told me. He slept right through it.

He is sleeping wonderfully, I wish I were. Which makes me wonder when I should move him out of our room. The stress. I can’t think on it right now!!

He was also casted today. I don’t think he liked it much. He screamed and cried, even though they hardly touched him.

They did the cast in two parts, which in the end, should look something like this:

The picture is small, I apologize, but it will hopeful correct his spine and prevent surgery later.

There’s that word again, surgery. I can’t even think about them doing surgery on his back. The Orthopaedist said that *if* we had too, they could remove the furthest vertebra from his spine and bring the rest closer together, securing them with rods and pins. Effectively immobilizing his spine and any chance for contact sports has gone out the window. Not to mention working so close to his spinal cord….put it out of me mind!

Which makes me want to write a post about the needs of a child with dwarfism. What you need to know protocol.
