Hi everybody!
We made it back safe and sound from our trip to Denver. Landon is doing well although his tongue and chin are pretty swollen. He's being a trooper though. :)
Dr. Yakes and his nurses were pretty impressed with how much Landon has grown since the last time they saw him. He was the entertainment at the hospital while we waited to go in for the procedure. He paced the hallway pointing at the exit signs. He gets infatuated with the silliest things. :) One of the nurses got a wagon for Landon to ride in, but he wasn't sure about how much he liked that. As I walked him around, he tried to make up his mind about if he wanted to whine or look around. :)
After the procedure Braydon and I were not looking forward to having to see Landon in pain, but thank goodness we had a good nurse that didn't hesitate about giving Landon pain medication. He woke up pretty nicely and just wanted to hang out and sit with Dad. We were so thankful for that nurse. Last time we went, Landon woke up without enough pain medication and he thrashed around and was upset for a couple of hours until the nurse finally gave him enough pain medicine to calm him down. It was very aggrivating, but this time it was a lot easier.
Dr. Yakes ended up doing injections in his tongue and underneath his chin. So now Landon can't eat anything cause his poor tongue is so swollen. On the way home yesterday, he wanted some goldfish crackers and didn't understand why he couldn't have them. Poor little guy.
All in all, I can't wait to see the results from this procedure and how much more he is going to be able to do!!! Keep us in your thoughts and wish Landon a speedy recovery...I know we are! :) Love you all!!

I hope he is feeling better soon! Love you guys!
He's such a strong little guy....I'm so amazed at his progress when I remember how he looked the first time I saw him. So much to deal with at such a young age!!! But he really is a "little trooper"!
Can't wait to see you all later on this week.
Love,
Mom
We are certainly thinking about you guys here in Georgia! Love you!

I'm so glad that he did well! This is such a cool story already, and I imagine that you are such an inspiration to other moms. You are to me! And I love how he is so happy with you two. It makes me smile. Life is good with mom and dad around.
Love you three!
