Mid October brought Preston's five week post-op visit to see his surgeon.
A quick trip to Portland.
We decided to make a fun trip and take the kids along!
We headed there early on Friday for a 10:30 appt.
His appt. was very quick and he is healing well.
He really impressed his Dr. by waving to her when she said "hi"
We will continue to massage his scar,
to help minimize the collagen build-up.

The kid's request was a hotel with a POOL.
Of all the things to do in Portland, they wanted to swim & swim & swim.
They swam Friday and on Saturday we did some more swimming.
When we could finally talk the kids out of the pool, we took them to the zoo.
It was a gorgeous, sunny and brisk fall day.
None of us were quite as tall as the bears.
The kids were happy and interested the whole time.
Sam ran or hopped most of the way, while making bird calls.
Evelyn had a little screaming fit at the end, as we walked towards the exit, drawing more attention from passers-by than any animal exhibit!
(We are trying to forget that part.)
We were home again, by late Saturday night.
Mission Accomplished:
fun with the family!
