New Pictures




Here are some new pictures of Robbie. He is getting so big now. He loves to eat vegetables in his new high chair and is starting to get really brave when he is standing. It won't be long before that first step is here.

Everything Went Well





Our trip to Cincinnati was short, sweet and to the point. Dr. Levitt said that everything looked great and then showed us how to do the dialations. We are able to start on a size 8 and have to work our way to a size 13, much better than the alternative of starting at size 1. Robbie was such a good traveller, everytime the plane would take off he would eat his bottle and then fall asleep.

It is nice to know we are back now for a few months before we have to head out again. We actually might get into a little routine and get our house picked up and clothes out of the suitcases.

We finally have some pictures from Christmas to share with everyone, hope you enjoy them.

Back In Cincinnati

We are back in Cincinnati for a follow-up appointment with Dr. Levitt today at noon. They are going to do an ultrasound first and then Dr. Levitt is going to check on his work and show us how to start the dialations. Robbie is doing great and getting into everything he is not supposed to be. He loves to pull himself up and stand around and look at everything. He has two new bottom teeth, that are as sharp as razor blades and loves to gnaw on anything.

We flew to Cincinnati this time and the flights were actually pretty good, one connection in Chicago and then a mad dash to our next flight to Cincinnati. We fly home tomorrow morning, so this trip will be short and sweet.

We come back out here in March for Dr. Levitt to reverse the colostomy and get all the poop coming out the new poophole. We were able to schedule the surgery for Monday, March 14th, which is the first day of our Spring Break. This helps us save days because the recovery for this surgery is similar to the last one, 3 to 5 days. We have both been to better locations for Spring Break, but to save 5 days and get our little boy pooping like all others will be worth it.

There will be Christmas pictures coming soon and I apologize for the lack of updates, I will be better from here forward.
