Here is Dennis winding down after a long day. The other kids had been gone up until this evening when John went and picked them up from a friend's house and Grandma and Grandpa brought the other kids home. One nice thing about this surgery, is that Dennis totally allows me to comfort him and just sit with him without him even thinking of getting down from my lap. It is such a nice feeling--- for the both of us.
Dennis will continue to have blood tinged drool for the next week or so----- so he wears a bib all the time.

Dennis is so cute. I wish he would let me cuddle with him the way you do.
You look so exhausted. I love the bottom pic though.
I hope you both can get some rest and recover soon!
Have a great Christmas! Your family is an inspiration.
Dennis was surprisingly accepting of his food restrictions. I would have at least whined a little. I couldn't email Andrew's videos from his Thursday recital so I put them on U tube. His piano is at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0G6o_TUM_g4 and a snippet of singing at

He agreed to the first one but he hadn't seen the second, so let me know if he wants me to remove it.
The bottom pic is my favorite, too. It says so much.
Love the photos. He is such a cutie, even with a fever!
So glad Dennis is on the mend!
Rachel's love is so obvious. Simply beautiful!! Her face shows what her heart feels.

He is remarkable. I can't imagine having that type of surgery myself.
He's such a litte trooper and seems to just roll with the punches. Glad to hear that he is on the mend and such a cuddler. Clearly there were no bonding/attachments problems which you are so thankful for.
We were snowed in on Fri. (about a foot of snow) and it's snowing hard again this morning. I'm in for the day doing baking and cooking. I love days like this during the winter.
He is definitely a strong little boy. You make sure to get plenty of rest!

Good to hear Dennis is on the mend. So glad we could meet both of you on Thursday. We'll see you again for the next surgery. Give Dennis a hug for me!
that tired and sweet little guy. bless his heart...but i'm so glad he's being more of himself.
What a sweetie! I hope and pray that Dennis continues to heal quickly and feel better!
In the bottom picture, I am not sure who looks more comforted, Dennis or you:) I remember you talking about waiting until Dennis had bonded with you to begin his surgeries and how smart a mommy you were. It would have been so different had that not been given time. I'm so glad he is doing so well and feeling good.
Carson is the same way with me. He will hold his hands up and say "mommy, hold you" I can never get enough of cuddling with him and making him feel safe.
Dennis is looking very well for a little guy who just had surgery. I will continue to send prayers your way.
♥ It always amazes me how resilient kids are! I'm glad he's doing so well! :)
So glad he is doing so well!!!
Oh, Christine - how terrifying. My heart sunk when I saw this post. I'm so glad you're little man is home and healing. Know that you all continue to be in our prayers.
Take good care of yourself,

What a beautiful picture of the blessings of motherhood. God has surely used your goodness to His glory.
