This week's update

So I have been home for a week, and am healing quite nicely. We went yesterday to see Dr. D to have the stitches from my laproscopy taken out. He reminded me that the internal stitching takes six full weeks to heal, and so he won't be releasing me to go back to work until then. And I am on 10 pound weight restriction for the entire time, which means no picking up Mateo...although we have found a couple of ways to give each other loves that don't involve me lifting him.



Mateo had his final doctor visit for his TB exposure. Dr. Julie did another liver test, which came out perfect, and gave him a clean bill of health once he finishes the current bottle of antibiotics. Mateo loves to stand on the big person scale as seen in the picture. He weighs about 29 lbs and he is now officially 30 3/4" tall. He's grown alot in the last two months...the pants that we used to have to roll up now have his ankles hanging out of them.






Grandma & Grandpa Britschgi came by for a visit on Thursday. They were at the beach seeing Barbara's brother and they stopped by on their way to Portland for an Air Force reunion. It was great to see them, and they were very glad to see Mateo. Grandma B brought a new book, called True Love, which is Mateo's new favorite.






We were glad for the visit, and glad that they are still going to be family for us.

We are very grateful for all our friends and family who have sent cards, and prayers, and good wishes for a speedy recovery. It is nice to be loved.

Hugs from Oregon, Sarah & boys
