spring rules!
We went to the Urologist on Monday but don’t know much more than we did the week before. We go back in five months at which point all the swelling will be gone and he should be able to figure out the next step. Meanwhile we are supposed to keep an eye out for any urine coming out of the gap, if we see that it means he has a fistula and he will be having corrective surgery in the fall. The Dr said the fistula would be “easy” to fix but would still be a general anesthesia/intubation situation. And yes, another catheter… Ugh.
On the bright side of things it has been nice enough outside to spend most of the day in the yard (or the neighbors yard). Nolan loves to be outside so we are both loving the sun and warmth. Yesterday we took a push toy out on the street which he enjoyed. He fell to his knees several times but seemed to know just what to do and got right back up. After the third fall he complained a little but I think some of that was him getting tired from walking so far.
I look forward to introducing him to the park near our house. I have not been there but our neighbor says it is a good place for little ones and will satisfy his need to climb. It will be so nice to get him out of the house and for him to be around other children. He has been comparatively limited in his exposure to other children because of his health issues, but RSV season is over now and we are both ready to get out there! I hope to also introduce him to water this summer, by 2009 there will be an “aquatics center” at the park near our house so swimming (well, wading for now most likely) will be a good activity for us.
Happy Spring everyone!

I look forward to introducing Nolan to the playground near MY house… There are lots of other kids for him to play with, and it’s practically in his aunties’ backyard.

The entire coastline of Estepona is one long promenade lined with play areas specifically designed for different ages and levels of development. There are even ones for the elderly to increase range of movement and mobility. Right now we go to the one for infants (with our friends baby, Matt) and on Sunday afternoons there are Russians, Norwegians, Romanians, English, Irish, Spanish, Moroccans, French, Senegalese, Argentinians, Ecuadorians, and on and on and on… think how much Nolan would love that. And further in there are streets lined with trees and shops just for pedestrians. And lots of ice cream parlors. Even Ben and Jerry’s. C’mon. Visit us. (No this is not a spam-infomercial. It’s just your friendly neighborhood aquaman who is tired of talking to the dolphins…
