Here is the transformation over the past year of my Cutie Patootie! You can see the Metopic Ridge in the middle of his forehead.
This is Fisher the day after he left the hospital a year ago almost.

And in his bath last monday.
1pm on Wednesday, 1-9-08 ...24 hours after his operation, swollen eyes.
6:30pm on Wednesday, 1-9-08 with an icepack on his forehead...my creative Diaper Ice Pack that actually worked better than the ice pack CHOC gave me! He is continuing to swell.
Thursday 1-10-08 at 6:30am before we moved out of ICU. Drinking his bottle with his swollen eyes and E.T. glowing big toe.
10:30am Thursday 1-10-08 in room 517. Still swelling up even more, and getting shiney skin as predicted.
1-10-08 Thursday at 1:30pm..his swelling moving down into his neck. I held him on pillows on my lap, he could not lift his head at all.
3:30pm Thursday 1-10-08 his eyeslids began turning red.
1-11-08 Friday at 9:30am. Fisher and his pals.
1-11-08 Friday at 12pm. Dr Sundine took out the 2 drain tubes in his forehead and on top of his head. The Sumo Band was to hold the pad of gauze on the 2 holes behind his right ear.
1-11-08 Friday at 5:30pm... the first photos of Fisher peaking out of his eyelid slits. He loved catching up on emails on Daddy's phone.
Ya! A smile for mommy when he saw the camera!
1-11-08 Friday at 7:15pm looking at his horsey.
1-12-08 Saturday at 1pm, napping. The I.V. was moved from his foot to his hand. His eyelids were really red as the swelling left his eyes.
1-12-08 Saturday 3pm. Sitting up in Daddy's lap smiling and seeing us through his little slits.
1-12-08 8:30pm Saturday...after watching the football game in the family lounge.
1-12-08 10:30pm Saturday. Asleep but not for long, as the toilet flushing incident is about to occur soon!!!
1-13-08 Sunday at 12pm...we just got word we are leaving soon! Watching Mommie pack and being his old self again!
I love this shot!!!...Looks like Mr. Trouble is back in town!
2pm Sunday 1-13-08. Leaving CHOC, and stopping by the hospital radio station to request a song!!!
1-13-08 Sunday Night 7:30pm and back at home. What a different forehead! There is still swelling, and I am not sure about how much it will be going down..but you can see the difference in the eyebrows and width of his head!
Before....
Happy Healing Fisherman!!! Love, Mom & Dad!
And in his bath last monday.Tuesday Night 1-8-08 at 7pm, about 6 hours after he came out of his operation. You can see one of the drain tubes. The next day, swelling hides it.
8:30am Wednesday 1-9-08, his swelling starting....not feeling really good!

Ali,
I've read most of your diary about Fisher. You know what? I felt you are just like my own mom. Your diary touched deep in my heart. Please keep on writing diary for yourself and for us, then, the collections of your diary will become Fisher's treasure as he growing up and he will shout to the world about his incredible Mom, Ali. Bleu may have a lots of sense of humor but Ali definitely has an amazing love. We all are praying for Fisher as well as for Mom and Dad until Fisher is fully recovered so he smiles just like his Dad. In the mean time, Ali, please keep on writing diary.
We love you and Fisher!

Alison & Bleu,
We couldn't believe it when we heard from Clay about Fisher. And we really couldn't believe everything you all have been through when we read your blog and saw the pictures. Fisher is an amazing and adorable little boy. He certainly looks like a character. I know this had to be hard on you both, sometimes I think it's harder on the parents. Your blog is a great way to share what you all have been through. Years from now you will have this to look back on. Of course Fisher is not going to remember any of this so it will be wonderful for him to see the loving and caring parents you are. Our prayers and thoughts are with all of you as Fisher heals. We will check the blog for updates. Love always,
Therese & Ray
Bleu and Ali,
We are so happy then Fisher came through with flying colors. The blog was a wonderful way to let us know what was going on. Thank you for allowing us to share it with you.
We are happy to see him bright eyed and bushy tailed, - he looks great!- and I am sure time will fly by in the blink of an eye and this will be one of those things that you (mostly)forget about as you are involved in his (future) life and he grows to be a handsome young man. We think of you often. Please keep in touch and call when you come to Hawaii. Love, Geoff and Leslie
When we heard that Fisher had gone into the hospital, our hearts dropped. We absolutely love your family and wish only the best for all of you. We are so happy to see that things are progressing positively. Thank you for sharing.
Keep on keepin' on Fisher.
