Sorry I haven't posted in a while. My comp was down.

Alexis finally had his surgery. It was such a success. His mom was told he would be in ICU for 8 to 10 days. Well he had surgery on Monday and was admitted to ICU. On Tuesday he was put on the regular floor. On Wednesday he was released home!!!! His ERT's have been great. I am glad to say he is doing well!!
