There really is no way to convey how grateful we are to have such friends.

And not a complete stretch to say I understand all the more how George Bailey felt.

 

. . . and we feel like the people who were able to save christmas for you <3

To put a cap on this thread.

 

Trevor was up today, and basically his old self. Aside from a big, red, angry dilated eye. He even wants to go to his half day pre school today!

 

Kids are so resilient, it blows me away.

 

The surgeon said that "whats done is done", and he cannot affect, or make worse the condition through rough play, or contact. Which relieved me to no end because I had no idea what the future held for him in regards to playing sports long-term. He will just need to wear sport goggles.

 

The only bummer is he will have to undergo this entire surgery process in 4-5 months. While the surgeon said she was not 100% sure what was "behind the area" she worked on(because he is not yet fully developed) she chose her words to brace us that the condition might not be done yet.

 

Even then it should be quite treatable. She commented more then once how she never treated a case this early. Most cases almost always had permanent damage already done. So, knock on wood that we should be able to stay on top of this.

 

In the end, to think I am typing this..... while he eats a PBJ sammich, watching a cartoon..is a true miracle ..to me anyways. The money raised lifted our hearts in more ways then you know We would have found a way to pay for everything, we always do. But to have that worry removed in 1 day, at this time of year?

 

Speechless.

It really is a wonderful life.

 

I am going to take the advice of those who emailed me expressly, for me to buy some extra presents for the kids with their donations. Ellen will get Guitar lessons, and even more art supplies. And Trevor, well I am not sure what I will get him..but rest assured it will involve cars, balls, and army guys.

 

Everything else will go towards bills, and the rest dumped into a Mutual fund for future expenses.

 

 

Thanks again..to everybody.

Before I head out for the day, here is the lil guy before he got on the bus a few minutes ago.

 

To think yesterday at this time he was in surgery, and I was a worried mess.

Thanks for the update and the great picture of Trevor! It is so good to see him happy and smiling that it feels like I'm the one that just got a Christmas present.

 

Happy Holidays to everyone on these Boards. You guys and girls just rock!
