Tyson Update

Tyson had done really good since we've been home. The first few days he had a really hard time getting around and was in a lot of pain. We are almost two weeks since his surgery and he is acting almost 100%. I've been trying to get him to eat anything he wants because he lots a lot of weight. I took him into the surgeon for a check up last Friday and he had gained a little bit of his weight back and everything looked really good on him. I think since we have been home I've been the one who is a mess. I was in such a state of survival mode at the hospital that I didn't let go of a lot of the emotion that I had inside. My poor husband was so worried I didn't dare share any worries I had because I know he would really freak out. So when we finally got home I was in this zombie mode it felt like. I felt like I needed to go to my room and cry for about a hour so I could feel better but I was still so worried about Ty and trying to help him I couldn't do that. The next day I was totally physically exhausted. My body felt like I had a bad flu. My poor husband got the brunt of my emotional problems and I was just mad and crying at him all day. I'm glad he still put up with me! It took me a few days but I finally started feeling better. It was really strange. I'm not sure how to really explain it. After about 5 days home I quit crying everyday about something or other. I'm sure being this pregnant isn't helping with that much either!
My sweet little boy with his favorite Bunny he calls coconut. This was taken the day after we got home from the hospital. I was freaking out because he climbed up in his tree house. I finally had to let some of the panic go and figure if he feels good enough to do it I need to let him.
I don't know what I would have done without my handsome boy!
Showing off his incision. It's about 3 inches. He can't bath but he can shower. At this point we are really only recovering from the incision instead of his appendix rupturing. The dr. told us the odds of him having further problems are very very low. Looks like the worst (of this) is over! Now I just need to have a good delivery and a healthy baby and we will be set!
