Thanksgiving

Well looking over the past few months there are quite a few things to be Thankful for.  This is Michelle by the way.  We are thankful for our little Baby “Jack Jack” aka Mason and all of the amazing things he has been doing in his short 6 months.  We are thankful for all our family, friends and coworkers.  Everyone has been so great throughout this journey.  We are thankful for Primary Childrens and for all the wonderful nurses and doctors that took such great care of Mason this year and that will be caring for him coming up here in the very near future.  For those that don't know, we are on the countdown to Mason's next (and hopefully last surgery).  Mason will check back into the hospital in December and will be there for about a week this time.  This surgery will be the "Take Down" that closes up the colostomy site on his stomach and reattaches the intestine to his bottom.  I don’t' think I will ever be so excited to change a poopy diaper in my life!  The next few months following surgery will still be a little bit of a struggle as his little body gets adjusted to its new functions, but we are certainly moving in the right direction and soon everything will be just like normal...or as close as we can get to it.  Hope you all are having a wonderful Thanksgiving.  We are staying home this year as we can't risk Mason getting sick or he won't be able to have surgery.  I picked up some Marie Calendars for Kurt.  Mason is going to get his first taste of real food (oatmeal) so we will see how that goes.  Happy Thanksgiving!!!!  Here are some pictures from Halloween this year.  Grandma Greta did an awesome job on Mason and Mommy’s Incredible Costumes!!!  Mason sure is an INCREDIBLE baby!!!
