And WOW. Blogspot's interface looks entirely different. I guess a lot can change in, err, nine months.
Most people I know are on my facebook and keep up with Asher through that means, so it's easy to just post it all there and not write out anything more lengthy in this little corner of the web. Then I'll realize it's been ages since I posted anything, feel guilty, and write a new update. Tada!
Well, since the last post, Asher has undergone major orthopedic surgery on his hip. Turns out it wasn't just a loose tendon and he was dislocating like a circus performer. He had surgery to correct his malformed bone structure at Vanderbilt Children's in June, and after a long summer, the cast will come off next week! Unfortunately, he isn't finished. His surgeon only operated on one leg after determining that bilateral surgery was just too risky with all of the work Asher needed done, so we still have the other leg to go. Thankfully, he'll get a little break between the two surgeries and get to enjoy a couple of months of cast-free time before he goes back for operation (and cast) #2.
Therapies continue as usual (though his therapists and time slots have changed around a couple of times), and last week he started his second year of preschool, his last before entering into the big bad world of kindergarten. He loves his teacher and classmates, and after being stuck in a stationary position and staying mostly at home all summer, I think he's glad for the change of scenery!
My goal is to update this page on a semi-regular basis, so I hope to be back soon. ;)
