Oliver has his surgery this week on Tuesday at 1:30. It is very quick, less than an hour if all goes well. They will also be doing a bit of investigation to make sure there has been no damage to his esophagus from all of the reflux Oliver has had. We are excited to have this over with and hope that it will make feeding a less time consuming / frustrating event. Tonight the wave of emotions once again returned thinking about yet another medical procedure Oliver has to go through. Soon it will just be a memory and we will be thankful I am sure.
Christmas was great and we were able to see family and get a little rest here and there. I have some great pictures and will add them at some point. We have been having some computer problems, every time I try and download pictures our computer just poops out.
The big news in the Klawiter house is that Oliver figured out how to put his fist in his mouth!!!!! A small but extremely large milestone that I am sure we took for granted when Adina did the same thing. We cheer every time he does it! A few more... We took a car ride to the doctor in which Oliver was awake for the entire ride and did not scream! He is usually either asleep or awake and screaming. He was also awake on the way to church today and was just talking. When the music would play at church today, Oliver cooed along when the music would start, and last but certainly not least, he had tummy time today and yesterday for five minutes with out screaming. These may seem like non events but in our world we celebrate these moments!! After our celebration and sometimes tears of joy we say "I can't wait to tell Susan." She is Oliver's Occupational Therapist and is the best of the best.
I will update as I can during the hospital stay. Have a great week getting back in the swing of things after the busy holiday!
Peace

What great achievements!
We pray that all goes well with Oliver's surgery.
I'm so happy to hear of Oliver's progress. Our hopes and prayers are being answered. More prayers for tomorrow's surgery. And any time Adina wants a dance partner, Owen is ready. He danced through the Angel Choir's song at the Christmas Eve service; and until the boy in the crocodile costume scared him during the living Nativity, he was a happy dancing fellow.
Love to you all.
Thanks Martha... and Marianne, Adina would love to dance with Owen. She will have her tutu ready.. She even has an extra if Owen wants! =)
Thanks for this blog, it was nice to be able to read what is going on with your little Oliver. May God grant you patience and love and peace. I can't imagine how difficult some days must be. Tim
