Myles Morse Code

If you know Myles, you know he has to keep busy. A few days ago he decided he wanted to learn a "secret language" that Mason didn't know, and Marshall told him about Morse code. Since then he has been walking around the house saying "beep-beep-dot-beep" and is memorizing the code.
He started by figuring out how to write names.

I was telling my dad about this and he sent Myles the following email:

..   .-.. --- ...- .   -.-- --- ..-   -- -.-- .-.. . ...
(I love you Myles)

Myles responded with:
-.--   ---   ..-   .  .-  -  -..  ---  --.  .--.  --- --- .--.
(You eat dog poop). Yep--that's my boy. He and grandpa have been saying these things to each other for years. 

Then Grandpa:
-.-- --- ..-  . .- -  .-- --- .-. -- ...
(Myles eats worms)

Myles:
.. ..-. / -.-- --- ..- / -.. --- -. - / . .- - / -.-- . .-.. .-.. --- .-- / ... -. --- .-- / -.-- --- ..- / .-- .. .-.. .-.. / --. --- / - --- / .--- .- .. .-.. .-.-.-
(You will go to jail if you don't eat yellow snow.)


And Grandpa:
.. ..-. / -.-- --- ..- / -.. --- -. - / . .- - / -.-- . .-.. .-.. --- .-- / ... -. --- .-- / -.-- --- ..- / .-- .. .-.. .-.. / --. --- / - --- / .--- .- .. .-.. .-.-.-
(You smell like rotten fish)

And Myles
-.-- --- ..-  ... -- . .-.. .-..  .-.. .. -.- . -.. -.. --- --. .--. . .
(you smell like dog pee)

So, what's next Grandpa?

We're Coming Home!!!

I'm not posting "before" pictures because they are a little too scary, but this is a pretty good "after" picture if you ask me! Mason had another amazing night. Yesterday he wouldn't stand on his own (we think because of all the bruising, pulled groin muscle, swollen foot) but he slept really well all night (and kept his oxygen levels up without help) and this morning he woke up with a lot more energy. He ate 3 little boxes of fruit loops, 2 containers of milk, and is working on a muffin now. He's gone potty by himself, and walked back and forth to the playroom down the hall two or three times. He seems completely back and in the playroom used potato heads to re-enact a scene from Toy Story 2. The pediatrician just came in and told us that he feels good about going home as long as we follow-up with our pediatrician by Wednesday morning at the latest to get the stitches out, re-write prescriptions (can't fill Canadian ones in US), and decide where ...

Quick Update

First of all, thanks for all the prayers we know are received. I'm going to make this update quick and dirty since I have a hard time thinking about it and I want to get back to Mason. I also don't know if every detail is completely accurate but this is the way I understand it. Yesterday afternoon my dad and Marshall took the two boys hiking at Boundary Bay in Waterton . It is a short flat trail that you access through a boat ride and goes for a mile or so and crosses over a creek. They were hiking along and when they got close to the creek the boys stopped and Mason held my dad's hand while Myles held Marshall's. My dad and Mason were in front and to get onto the bridge (just two cut logs with a hand rail on one side) you have to step on a rock. Mason and my dad both stepped on the rock and Mason was so excited to see the water that he jumped up onto the bridge. He slipped, causing my dad to loose his balance and Mason spun around causing my dad to loose the grip on hi...

Miraculous Update July 4th 6 AM

We had an amazing night. Yesterday the doctors said they would take out the tube in the morning unless he was clearly awake and tried pulling it out (because they wanted to go home--understandably). We had two wonderful nurses who have been working with him who really believed he was ready and would be happier with it out and so they irritated him to wake him by taking out his cathetar, brushing his teeth, suctioning him over and over until he really was awake and fighting them. The doctor finally said they could take it out and after grabbing a team of about 10 and a crash cart just in case they took it out. He threw up a lot, coughed a bit, whined a little, and then fell back to sleep (perfect because all he has in him is tylenol and is probably in pain). He woke up 3 or 4 times during the night absolutely frantic kicking and crying and each time he would eventually say softly "potty, need to get out". He was wearing a diaper and we would all just have to encourage him tha...
