Quick surgery update- we have our post op next week

Niklas' surgery went fine last week. He hung out with me at home all week and was very excited to be back at school yesterday. He was very tired at lunch and took a nap during rest. Today, he went the whole day and to speech without any pain meds or nap. So I am hopeful that he is healing and doing good.
He is on a soft diet so I am sending lunch with him and Ellie Grace each morning. It isn't the most nutritious lunch, but it will do for another week or so. I just hope Ellie Grace eats it tomorrow, she didn't eat her soup today and was crying with a tummy ache on the bus. She was just hungry!

Happy Halloween!

My spider and my horse enjoyed a short night of trick-or-treating on Saturday. Aunt Tina in Texas sent the cute costumes to us , thank you Aunt Tina! In tradition, we met our neighbors to go to a few houses together. We didn't go to any houses on our cul-de-sac due to dark houses and rain but all four children enjoyed the night and got plenty of candy. Ours got to eat quite a bit of candy that night and on Sunday due to Niklas's surgery on Monday morning.
