Good & Bad

*Update: Aaron has a surgical consult tomorrow and will see what the surgeon recommends.

Aaron had his MRI done yesterday and will have the results read today. The technician that did the scan said that just based on what he has seen before Aaron does have an extremely bulged disc and what looks like a piece of the disc that has broken off and is floating in his spinal column.In his experience, something like this almost always requires surgery. If his doctor recommends surgery, he will most likely have a discectomy done asap.

To balance out the negative, here are some cute things Liam has been saying lately:

I mopped the floor the other day and Liam poked his head into the kitchen to check it out. "It's awfully clean in here, Mom!" he said.

Liam waves to Aaron every morning when he leaves for work. He waves out the front window first and then runs to the side window to see the car disappear around the corner. "And he's off to work!" he says every time.

He was a bit of a handful yesterday and spent a large amount of time in the naughty chair over the course of the day. Aaron came home around 4:30, and after giving him a hug Liam told him that "Mom is having a hard day with Max." Way to spin that one, buddy...!

Today is also Aaron's birthday! The boys and I are doing a few small things for him today, and Liam has managed to keep most of them a secret so far! Although he's been talking about the "surprise we got you at the store dad! It's a..." and then he gets cut off by Aaron reminding him not to give away the surprise! It's so cute how excited he gets for other people. He has shown me a card Aaron received with a wolf on it at least 10 times so far this morning, although he tells me that dad gave it to him and now it is his. Whatever makes you happy, kid!
