Baylor Update

Well, since Baylor's surgery on June 9th...things have not gone exactly as planned.  The foot where the digit was amputated appears to be healing well, but his back leg had a cyst removed and Baylor thought it would be a good idea to eat out his stitches.  SOOOO, we have been treating BOTH legs with Iodine, antibiotic cream, table sugar (Vet recommended it for healing process of skin), and wrappings.  We are also still giving him an antibiotic orally twice per day.  The Vet called with news that said the biopsy showed that it was in fact bone cancer.  While this news was still devastating, we found comfort in the fact that they also biopsied the actual part at the amputation site which showed no cancer!  This means the cancer had not spread past the bone they amputated...making him cancer FREE after the surgery.  Yahoo!  FINALLY TODAY we began to see some healing on the back leg.  I prayed so hard for him to heal quickly as the alternative is to take him back into surgery and re sew the leg.  Needless to say we are one blessed family to report it is healing and getting smaller finally.  Here are some pictures of our progress.  We love you "Baylor beenie weenie"!

Splashtown

Today we ventured out to Splashtown Waterpark.  Last year we stayed in the kid area the entire time, but this year the kids loved the lazy river and wave pool.  They even went down many slides and tube rides.  Can you say growing up?  It was also fun to watch them using their swim skills from the lessons they have been going to.  It was a perfect day that was cloudy half of the time and then sunny for a few hours.  Of course, no Splashtown visit is complete without Marble Slab ice cream and Mexican food for dinner!  What a fun day to remember.

Caelin's FIRST HAIRCUT!

Caelin got her FIRST haircut today!!  Nana's hairstylist, Mrs. Susie, was up for the challenge and did a GREAT job!  She straightened Caelin's hair to get a better dry cut, so we were also amazed with how her hair looked all straight.  It was gorgeous, but we still missed the curls.  We trimmed about an inch off of her entire hair.  Ms. Susie said she really did not have many split ends which was surprising to me, but I am just glad it is a little more healthy.  I really did not think our first haircut would be when she was fixing to turn 4 years old, but it is so hard to grasp the though of cutting any of those curls.  It was a great time by all and Caelin felt super proud of herself and loved her "new flat" hair.  Ha!
