This morning is the start of the new normal for us...whatever that looks like for a while. After a short rest we will wake Aidan up earlier than ever before. By 5:30a.m. he will have been scrubbed down twice with Hibiclens (a disinfectant soap) and have had as much apple juice and water to drink as he is willing to hold. Do you remember what it is like to plan a trip far in advance, or to be standing up at high school or college graduation after being in school for what must have been always? Then you think, "Wow, is it really here already?". That's what this feels like. We will be on our way to Shriners Hospital in the morning for Aidan to have the Rotationplasty surgery on his leg that will create a "knee" from his heel to enable him to use a prosthesis that will allow him to have somewhat more normal function. We are so blessed to live this close and to have him in the care of people that are so familiar with this procedure. We hope that this blog is a way for all of you that love and care about Aidan to stay up to date on how he is doing and how he is progressing through his adventure. Keep him and our family in your prayers.
