Monday, we went car shopping. Instead of taking Aiden with us, I got the brilliant idea to take Aiden to Grandma Susan's house. Aiden did not agree and threw a big enough fit that he threw up and we had to take him car shopping with us.
And this is Aiden's new chariot.
A 2001 Mercury Mountaineer. Fully loaded, including dual air - so that I don't have to freeze while keeping Aiden cool (this was the selling point as I also looked at a Chevy Equinox that I really liked). It's not brand new, but might as well be since it has less than 60k miles on it. Meaning that the previous owner didn't drive it much. That is 6,000 miles a year for the past 9 years. I'll do that in 6 months.
See the spot to the left of the back tire? That is the 2 foot deep ditch that I fell into and broke my foot. Actually, more of a stress fracture, but that still counts as broken. I spent Tuesday finding that out.
Today, Aiden had a follow up appointment with Dr. Pediatric Cardiology. He weighed in at 20 lbs 5 oz. So, he has gained a pound since surgery. We go back in 2 weeks with chest xrays. Also, we will be getting a home health nurse twice a week while Aiden's chest is healing. It still hasn't closed all the way.
And today was Aiden's class end of year party.
