praise: landon is still improving.
prayer: landon occasionally complains of a stomach ache. we stopped giving him the tylenol with codine in hopes of alleviating the discomfort.
playfulness: rest of this blog will be of the fun we've had the past week.
he started like this...
i found him like this...
dalton is starting to reach for things. sometimes he achieves his goal.
my grandma janson has made each of the kids quilts when they were born (she also made me a comforter set when dave and i were married). here is a pic of dalton on his.
landon decided to read a book to dalton a few days ago. very cute.
landon convinced grandma and uncle jon to play star wars with him when they arrived last thursday.
auburn felt it necessary for baby anna to have tummy time after dalton was done.
auburn wanted to help me bread the chicken tenders friday night. my face kind of sums up the whole process (the shaking, the squishing, the sneezing...)
these next two pictures are for mr. matt and miss amber. landon felt well enough to use the stickers and paper you sent. the first is thomas the tank engine, followed by superman.
we were able to bring home the gown and cap that dave wore while accompanying landon to the OR. the kids thought it necessary to try it on.
finishing this post with a pic of the youngest. dalton eventually grabbed the ring tower.
have a great night and thanks for praying for our big guy.

praise: landon came through his surgery fine, and we are home now.
prayer: please continue to pray for landon. he is in a great deal of pain.
playfulness: landon was so excited to go take his nap this morning. he was looking forward to eating yogurt and opening his package from miss amber and mr. matt.
when we finally got to see him-he was a basket case. the nurse said "he won't calm down for me." he kept screaming and coughing. for those who know landon, you know that he can't stand to have anything in his throat. he always coughs and tries to throw up whenever he has something there-well he kept doing that after he woke up. which of course made things worse. he finally started to calm down once they let me hold him. i told him he could watch anything he wanted when we got home-his immediate response was "i want to watch the second one!" in reference to star wars. the funny part about it was he said it while screaming because of his throat. he didn't want to open his package after he woke up. we knew he was feeling a little better when we got home because he asked for his package. anyway-he's doing as well as can be expected. please pray that he doesn't try to throw up. he's doing much better about it-but at times he forgets and tries again.
now for some pics...
they had a cool magnet table in the waiting room. landon had fun moving the lizard and frogs around.
here he is awaiting his big "nap."
hope we see this smile again soon.
this is his appearance now.
he like his superman folder and stickers miss amber and mr. matt!!! thank you for the encouraging note to him as well.
