Yesterday Walt came back closely to his normal form. His happy-go-lucky self has not returned completely, but yesterday he was pretty happy! The weather was beautiful so went for a couple of good walks, and he enjoyed just playing outside a little. The great news for all of us is that Walt is back to sleeping through the night, a sure sign that the flu is leaving the house!
I get the question, "Are you going to have any more kids?" asked often. Since finding out Magdalena's diagnosis it was always a tough question to answer. We had always envisioned ourselves with multiple children, but there was always the lingering thought of having to endure this difficult situation again. Although it is less than a one percent chance that we would have another child with T18, the percentage still exists. When pregnant, I said multiple times that I couldn't do this again and my mom constantly reminded me that it is not always that difficult. Being pregnant was physically uncomfortable, but I was referring to the constant emotional exhaustion. As Magdalena continued to do well, Noah and I weren't sure when to begin thinking about other children. Noah and I discussed that I would work really hard at losing my weight, but I was willing to be five pounds more than what I was originally. People poked fun at my not eating Magdalena's birthday cakes...
SO glad he's feeling better!
