Jack's 1st Outing






My mom, dad, Jack and I left the hospital for Jack's first outing post surgery. Since being here, we have heard all the nurses talk about the Cider Mills....and how we need to go. So we decided to go to the town of Franklin. The Cider Mills are a tradition in Michigan this time of year. Fresh apple everything, fall festival booths, lots of kid activities, etc. Everyone brags about the cider and doughnuts...which we had never heard of this combination before. However, it was really good! Detroit gets a bad rap, but the suburb areas are absolutely beautiful. Franklin was the most picturesque town. The leaves were turning bright colors, great weather...we could not ask for a better day.

Jackson loved being outdoors...he always has. He really had fun on the carriage ride through the town. The driver went pretty fast...so he was bouncing all over. Then we drove through Bloomfield Hills to Birmingham for a late lunch...which is another great area.

After a full day, Jackson still had so much energy last night. In fact, he was a little WILD. Not that I am complaining, but he far exceeded our expectations of his 1st day out of the hospital. I thought for sure he would go to sleep early when we got home, but he was up until 10:30 last night bright eyed and ready to do more. We continue to enjoy our little resilient miracle!

Happy Anniversary! I am sure over a week of seizure free days was the best present you could have received. I have been following Jackson's progress and every day, I am so happy for you guys. And Jackson looks so cute! What a tough little guy! Love, Tonja
