Wow - has it really been over a month since Dylan's surgery? This month has really flown by. Both kids are almost done with school. Dylan starts summer school right away then on Monday at Montessori. He had another check-up yesterday and things still look really good. He's still on a small dose of just one of his heart meds. His incision got really red and sore looking over the last week but they're pretty sure it's not infected, just irritated from stitches popping out. We're putting betadine on it twice a day JUST to be on the safe side. We don't have to go back now for a whole TWO MONTHS! Dylan has gained a whole pound this month and seems to have really grown up so much since his surgery. This evening he decided to hop on his new bicycle that's been sitting in the garage wating for him to give up the tricycle. He rode it like a pro - only had one spill and got right back on it and zoomed around. I couldn't get him off of it! His birthday is coming up on June 10th and every day he's still asking if he's "5 yet". So, that's where were at! Still very thankful every day. Seeing him on his bicycle tonite brought tears to my eyes - but I stil managed to get plenty of video. :)
