News is good News even after a HARD night

This little guy didn't do much of this last night:
 In fact, it would be pretty accurate to say he is using his daylight hours to make up for last night. 
Going on his second hour during his nap today.
He needs his rest. And strength to kick those heavy blue wrapped legs around. 
Sleep a few more hours so I can play catchup in my Domestic Duties little man.
Love your baby breath.

Most people are curious to know what goes on during one of Baby J's appointments.
A few behind the scene shoots during a typical clubfoot/Knee appointment:
Some waiting. Actually, Shriners and the doctors are very punctual and we don't have to wait too long.

Play time with Dad. Yes, this makes me nervous, 
but little man and Mr. P seem to get lots of giggles out of it so I can't take that away 
before the torture comes.

Then, they lay him on the bed and begin the flexing and stretching and manipulating. Here he is calm. The older he gets the harder it is on me. He looks over at me with his grunts and cries begging me to pick him up, but I can't. Just have to reassure him its for his good.

The GOOD news: (at least for now)
They seem to be confident he will develop his knee cap.

But he will need more casts and probably a few more surgeries.

Afterwards: Playtime with his favorite sis!!
He ADORES her and so do we.

These kiddos of ours... sure are blessings!!
