Conner & Me

Mike and I stopped over for a short visit with Conner this afternoon. I could tell the minute I saw him that it had been a rough morning. Michele said he was up early and his stomach was upset today. He laid on his little bed and I took out all the gifts we had brought over for him. We brought him lots of movies too. He said I was just like Blockbuster. I told him to call me if he wanted anymore from my collection and I would deliver them!

He just laid....not much energy. But, oh my, it was wonderful to have him home.

He actually showed Mike his scar, which is a sensitive subject. He doesn't really like showing it to many people. It is definitely bigger than an inch...I would say at least 2 1/2 and on that little head, it looks big.

He said he wasn't hurting but I felt like he was and probably just didn't want to take medicine, which is another sensitive area. He still does not want to take medicine.

I told him I was making "tacos in a bag" for the kids tomorrow for lunch and I would bring him one over if he was hungry for it.

I left him with mixed feelings...first of all..I didn't want to leave him. I could have laid there and kissed his little head and held his hand all day (okay, I'm going to cry now) and I was so thankful that the surgery is behind him and prayers had been answered.

These are the days of recovery that I remember so well after my surgery. I felt much of the same things and it's not something I would wish on an adult let alone a precious little boy that I love like my own. But knowing that....I also know these hard times will pass. And he will improve a tiny bit each day until that little "ladies man" is back making us smile with his stories and antics.

May it happen quickly and with as little discomfort as possible....

Love you Conner!
