I know everyone has been anxious to hear and see how Ari is doing, sorry we've kept you waiting. He is recovering so quickly, even the doctors are amazed. Look at the pictures starting from the bottom to really see the progress he has made. I'll fill in the details when I have more time....which I'm now finding out, is never.

Thanks for posting pictures. Ari is so beautiful. I'm so glad his surgery went good. Can't wait until you can take him home.

That is amazing to see the progress in one week. He looks like a whole different baby at the end pictures. Still so cute but just so strong. You three look great. Hope you are feeling good as well.

Lots of love,

Dunhams

Ari is so cute! He's doing so well, but we're not surprised... he is after all a Patin. :-) We can't wait until you get to take the little man home!
