Most of our family and friends have heard, but Aaron has had A ROUGH year health-wise! A few months ago, he had surgery to fix 2 hernias. But he has had crazy stomach and back pain that attacks on random nights, really since the summer.
We had the cruise dilemma where he ended up in the ER in the Bahamas (luckily we found out insurance is covering that $1700 visit!), so we knew something was still going on.
Anyways, since the cruise, we discovered Aaron has gallstones which explains the intermittent pain, and might explain why he gets jaundice a lot.
This weekend was a long one of surgery once again.
Friday morning he had his gallbladder removed, and everything went well, including the liver biopsy.
But they discovered he had a gallstone blocking his bile duct so he had to get transferred to a hospital to have that taken care of on Saturday morning.
Basically we've been in and out of the hospital since Thursday night, but I'm glad to say he's finally coming home tonight!!
His eyes are still way yellow (scary!!) but they finally let him start eating today and shower. He's been bored but since we don't have cable at home, he's been catching up on his football games at the hospital. =)
Let's hope we are DONE with surgeries and pain and hospitals for a LONG TIME!! We need Aaron back!
On that note, Carter just randomly threw up Monday morning. And I thought, nooooo please do not be sick. Last time he had the flu, he got it 3 times in 2 months, and they lasted 7 days each time, throwing up every day, and Aaron happened to be out of town every single time!! I can't imagine if that had happened, and then had to deal with Aaron's surgeries at the same time, because that would have been a NIGHTMARE!
Luckily, he got over it within a few hours, just took some cuddling and watching lots of Thomas the Train
The next day he was up and about and practicing his colors on Twister! This kid looks quite skinny here.... I promise he's at least somewhat meatier than this!
Carter got a new coat! A puffy one, and he loves it
While Aaron was in surgery #1, I had to just get Carter out of there.. Seven hours in a surgical center, Carter did pretty well, but we took a break over to Krispy Kreme. He loved it
He was really intrigued by the conveyor belt making the donuts, it was really cute
It was just me and Carter for Church today.
He cracks me up, just smiling in the back in his seat, wearing his blazer and eating his french toast =)
He actually cried after Church when I tried to take his outfit off.. he's so silly!

I'm so sorry you're going through all of that! I'm glad everything is working out though!
Another surgery?! Wow, what craziness! You didn't mention the cruise mishap to me. Anyway, I hope Aaron doesn't need to have surgery for a long time! That last pic of Carter is so cute.
