1 week down

Cainan had his surgery one week ago today.  He is healing nicely, and pretty much back to his old self.  He still has to be on a full liquid diet for another week, but he is handling that well.  Although, he did try and entertain himself in front of the fan after a few days out of boredom.
His lip is healing nicely and is almost clear of glue.  His nose is healing nicely as well, but the stitches are still there.
You can tell that it is still slanted and he will need more work in the future.  It is disappointing because that means more surgeries.  But, if Cainan is fine with it, we will wait until his next scheduled surgery which will be around his 10th birthday.  That will give him a break for a nice, long time.  Otherwise, the doctor said in a year or two he would go back in and straighten it some more.  There just isn't much to work with in his nose, so it is going to have to be a slow process.
We have one week down.  I am just glad to see him back to his old self.

We also have one week to go before we close on our new house.
We can't wait to get up there and get settled.  As much as we are going to miss our old home, being this close to moving into our new home is exciting.

We have two weeks until we officially move INTO the new house.  (the old owners needed one more week).  So we are spending our last two weeks in our old house.
We are thinking about all the memories we have made here, and how much we are going to miss it.

Surgery.  Closing.  Move.

What a summer.
