Ding! Round three!!

On December 31, Logan had his third bilateral goniotomy. Poor baby. Heis such a good baby through it all though. We take him back in on Friday to have his pressures checked. If they are too high he will have his next surgery on Monday, If they are low enough then we will wait until Thursday. Yes, you understood correctly. He will be having another surgery... a Trabeculectomy...on either Monday or Thursday of next week. PLEASE keep him in your prayers that this will be the one that controls his eye pressures enough for now. We really hope to at least get a break. If you are interested, you can watch the surgeries he is having done on YouTube. They are called a goniotomy and a trabeculectomy. They are pretty gross, but interesting. Oh, the things on his arms are splints to keep him from rubbing his eyes or pulling at the bandages.

Stitches

We had a little mishap on Sunday. After watching Barbie and the Diamond Castle, Aubrey and Kaitlynn were doing some vigorous dancing. It was fun to watch. Well, Aubrey got a little dizzy and fell right over and bonked her eyebrow on the rocking chair. We took her to the hospital and she now has 9 stitches over her left eye. Wyatt and I decided that it must be a right of passage for our kids to have some kind of incident with their face by age 2. Aubrey made it the longest of any...2 years 1 1/2 months. Good girl Aubrey.

Christmas at the Gardiner's

Christmas was magical for us this year. There is something about the time around Thanksgiving and up to the new year that is amazing. Everything seems different...even the air feels different. I am always a little sad after that special feeling is gone. I am already excited for next year though.

Kaitlynn was a little bit shocked that Santa really did come. She was a lot of fun. Kaitlynn opened most of everyone's gifts. Aubrey will have to work on speed for next year.

Aubrey was excited. This was her first "Santa" year. I don't know if she really undrerstood it yet, but it was fun anyway.

Logan had a great first christmas. He was a happy boy.

It is a hard life being a dog. Sam must have been tired from making sure there were no new puppies in the packages. Wyatt obviously took this picture because if I had seen her laying on our new carpet I would have kicked her off.
