THE UNVEILING!

Yesterday afternoon we had the grand unveiling of the head dressing!    I cried when they took it off because IT LOOKS FANTASTIC!  My boy is finally all put back together and just as handsome as ever!
THE UNVEILING!


LOOKS FANTASTIC!


HANDSOME BOY.... EVEN WITH NOOOOO HAIR!!

Yesterday we just spent the day at the hospital with Auntie Dar and Auntie Sherry as they got in around 10:30am.  Kinlin, thanks for cleaning my house so that it was presentable for their arrival, lol!  Thanks to Mom, she picked them up at the airport and they all headed our way.  Cousin Aaron has been with us since Friday night and catering to Alex's every need!  Around 5:30 Randi, Chad, Carly, Brooks and I headed to the fundraiser at the RocBar Cafe and had an awesome time!  Thanks to Sher, Dar and Aaron for babysitting so we could go and represent!  Thank you to all of those who donated prizes, time, effort, the bands who donated their time.... those who bought tickets and came for the event and the ROCBAR for hosting the event!  A very special thanks to Jessica and Mason... you guys are truly amazing and we appreciate all you have done to contribute to Alex's Recovery!  Viki, and Rhonda... thanks for helping Jessica out... you two rock!

They just came in to unveil dressing again and see if swelling had gone down and it has not so we won't be going home today and probably not tomorrow.  They may end up deciding to put the shunt in to where the fluid drains back into his body because we can't leave here with it still draining as it is.  Maybe some prayers are in order to get the ball rolling to get outta here, lol!  

I'll keep ya updated as to what they say today once the PA has relayed the information to the doctor!  Fingers crossed, prayers headed to heaven.... this too shall pass!  Although.... you know I am in no hurry to get outta here because I kinda have a break, lol!!!  

PEACE~LOVE~N~THUMBS UP!!
