Back home

Since Thursday, life has been full of adjusting back to life before our hospital "vacation." Hudson had gotten used to being with us - typically ON one of us - we knew it would be an adjustment to come home and get back to the way things were. And it has been. :) Being entertained and kept as the absolute center of attention for 12 days, I think I'd have some readjusting to do also.

He has been eating great, and smiling and laughing more than ever, but the separation anxiety is high, and nap time/bed time has been difficult. We know it won't last forever, but it is hard to watch our little Mr. Independent get so upset when i walk into another room if he thinks I'm going to leave him.

Overall though, we are SO thankful to be home, and grateful for the great doctors we had while we were there. We know God had His hand on our little boy, as he always has and always will. Our prayer now is that he will stay healthy, that we won't be too paranoid about every little thing he does that seems slightly abnormal, and that when we go back for the next ultrasound, they won't be able to see the mass at all anymore.

The follow up will be an ultra sound every month, and a CT scan in 4-6 months. I think we can officially say Hudson will be absolutely petrified of any doctor for a very long time.
