This is Nana writing to tell the real story from Phoenix! Andy is recuperating well, we think he has some serious itching going on, because even with the splints on, he is trying to get his mouth on anything, and we had the worst night last night since surgery (up 3 times), but still not anything like the 3 month surgery. Andy is a happy little guy, until he sees his beloved "Mommy". When Mommy comes into view, everyone and everything falls into the background and he moves like a flower to sunshine! So, Karen is in the spotlight most of the time. Karen said yesterday, that Andy was doing better one day after surgery this time than he did 2 weeks after surgery with the lip and nose repair. Praise God! Katie is also giving us lots of fun and joy, as only a 2 year old can. Yesterday she wanted to go outside, and shortly came back in, saying,
"Brrr, cold like a snowman". It was about 65 degrees out there. Nana got a good laugh from that with the kind of winter I just came from. Katie helped me bake cookies yesterday, we are still cleaning up from that. She is an expert "raspberry" giver, and is loving to put on makeup. I have to be sure to put mine away, after we use it. Karen is feeling better after a bout of laryngitis and a cold. She needs to be healthy, there is a lot of energy used caring for 2 little ones. She and Jeff make a great team with the two of them. I don't know how she does it when Jeff travels!! Good chatting with all of you. Nana(aka) Diane
