This picture was taken on Wednesday, Dec. 9 and as you can see, he was very happy.  Cutler had another good day today, however, around 7:00 Grandma noticed the area around his central line was a little swollen.  The doctor stopped the TPN (steak & potatoes in a bag) and started more fluids.  We’re hopeful the swelling goes away tonight, and that the central line isn’t leaking.  The last thing the little guy needs is to have another operation on his central line!!  I’m happy to report that he is sleeping soundly.

Mason and I had a special day – I picked him up early from school and we spent about 3.5 hours at NorthPark mall.  We saw 2 puppet shows, toured the train display, tried to have our picture taken with Santa (along with thousands of other like-minded families), and shared ice cream.  He has been such a good boy lately I felt he deserved some one-on-one time.  Poor little guy fell asleep in the car on the ride home!  Will post pictures tomorrow.

Aaron is taking the red-eye home from Seattle…which will put him in a fantastic mood, I’m sure.  We all look forward to having him home!
