I know every parents is convinced their kids are the greatest and I have to say that I know for a fact that my two dumplings are one of the bravest and courageous souls out there.
It has been one week today since the surgeries and as of now they are off pain meds and have been back in school since Thursday (at home on the sofa with their feet propped up). They are both getting much more confident on their crutches and the most amazing part is that there is no complaining at all!
I admit that I am super grateful about them walking on their crutches now. Carrying 27 kg heavy kids around has been hard and getting up every two hours for medications and bathroom breaks made me feel as if we were back to the Mommy stage of having 'little' kids.
It has been absolute heaven having 'Oma' here as well. To have the help on things that are not elated to the boys care has been the greatest gift.
YAY for family!
As smooth as most of it went I still keep my fingers crossed that by some miracle we could get around having the same surgery done on their left feet's!
Oh and here is a funny anecdote that made me laugh. When Connor had his worst pain he said he wanted for me to go and get him a white needle for his homemade Voodoo Doll he had made after our trip to Nola last year. I told him I don't have one for him but I could put one in the Doll that I had bought and that came with a white and black needle. Now we had never used the dolls for that regard as it was meant as decoration of sorts. So I took the white needle and inserted it into the right ankle. According to both my dumplings they said they have been pain free since that night… Well, whatever works and I think that little doll might be put to work more often now ;)
Hugs and thank you all so much for checking in
