Great news! On Friday Isaac was discharged from the hospital! We stayed at Dan's parents house over the weekend (Grammy and Papa's) just in case we needed to go back to the hospital the first couple of days. It was nice to have a relaxing weekend and have Isaac with us!
Sunday we headed home in the car bed. Isaac has an external fixator which is a metal bar contraption with three pins from the fixator in each hip/pelvis. This doesn't fit in a car seat so he lays in a car bed to travel. It is a little challenging to get him in and out, so he will stay at home most of the time until his fixators come off which will be Nov. 27th.
When we got home, right away Isaac was pointing to all his toys wanted to see them all!
Isaac is allowed to be held and sit up but his activities are limited. He is still healing from surgery. He has his fixator on still as mentioned above and also a drain in his bladder while it heals. We have to be careful lifting and carrying him and he has limited places he can be. We found two little seats that work pretty well.
He likes to play on his little kid sofa chair. He is currently propped in front of the TV watching Baby Signing Time, drinking milk, eating goldfish and playing with his little kitchen toy. I'd say the fixator isn't stopping him!

We also found a little doggy chair that Dan put a belt through to sit at the table at since he doesn't fit in a high chair. We realized he was so low to the table so we pulled up Gabe's little card table. The boys have been feeling pretty big sitting solo together! I have a feeling when the fixators come off it might be hard to have them come back to our kitchen table.
Gabe has been such a sport. He was excited when he got home to find a new bed in his room! He graduated from his toddler bed to a big boy single bed! I guess that happens when you are "three, almost four!" He was excited to go back to preschool today. He has been playing trains and basketball and has been asking already about seeing his friends that he's missed.
It's nice to see my boys playing together again!
Awesome news and adorable pics! Thanks for the update!
