"Heeeeeee's Baaaaaaaaack!"


We moved from my parent's house to PJ's parents on Friday afternoon. Keegan was still a little fussy when he moved over but we learned that stroller rides were really calming for him. That night he went to bed at a decent hour and only woke up 2-3 times and went right back down shortly after. Was this too good to be true? (Keep reading)

The next morning he woke up with a HUGE appetite! He ate nearly an entire banana, 1.5 containers of yogurt, cheerios and some of a toasted bagel. He was smiling, dancing, laughing and back to his normal self. We were so happy to see our KEEGAN!

PJ and I met Shannon and Ben at the Vine for lunch and Keegan hung out with his Busia while Grandpa went golfing. He did well and only took a 30 minute nap. When we were at the Vine, PJ and I realized we hadn't been out without Keegan in over a month. It was very relaxing to just chat and hang out knowing he was in good hands.

We got back and Keegan was eating lunch. He shoved chicken nuggets in his mouth and was hamming it up for his Aunt Shannon and Uncle Ben. Later we went over to my parents house while PJ's went to church. Over there he was able to see his buddy Cooper. He was happy and playing with his LEGOS (more like seeing how much noise he could make with them). He wore his "shades" in the car and just thought he was the coolest!
We watched the first quarter of the Sun's game there and headed back to PJ's parents house for dinner. We ate (Keegan didn't) and then Mike, Michele and the kids came over to watch the Sun's game. Keegan was scarfing his face with Cheez-Its and would not let them out of site. He went down for bed around his normal bed time and we thought PHEW it wasnt a fluke.

WRONG! Keegan tossed and turned all night whining at times. At about 1:15am he woke up screaming and shaking as if he was really scared. He didnt want to lay, sit or do anything. We turned on his Baby Einstein music and even that didnt calm him. He was wide eyed and looking around the room non-stop. Finally (around 2 hours later), we laid him in the bed with us and he snuggled up to PJ and fell asleep. We then transferred him back into his crib and he slept until 7:45am. Although we would not have woken up so happy with such little sleep, Keegan was up and raring to go.

We are still struggling getting him to drink milk and other fluids like he would normally. But slowly, we are making progress. His lymphnodes on the back of his head are swollen so we will be calling on Tuesday about getting that looked at. It doesnt hurt him to touch but they are recognizable bumps on the back of his head.

We are headed to Aunt Mo's for a Memorial Day BBQ today where my parents will be joining as well. This will be the first time Keegan will see a large group since the surgery so we are hoping he handles it all well =)
