Marshall was kicking his ear infections and croup very well until last night when the antibiotics (though wonderful at attacking the upper respiratory germs) began to wreak havoc on his GI system. It seems we’ve swapped one set of yechy symptoms for another yechy set. The ridiculous optimist in me believes Marshall is just working […]
Despite the double ear infection and croup, Marshall decided today to show us just what he is capable of. He can now reach all the way forward with his arms and stretch his legs all the way out…then shimmie himself into a forward motion. I expect he will be crawling in one week if he […]
Marshall is 8 weeks short of his first birthday and is already a one million dollar baby… Not sure if I should laugh or cry so I will just be thankful with every cell in my body. Yesterday’s cardiologist appointment went well. The blockage is insignificantly (1 mm) bigger. The function is unchanged. Marshall is […]
My apologies for not taking the time to update everyone on how things are. Things. Are. More. Busy. Than. I. Ever. Could. Have. Imagined. Birthday season was a success and now on to the holidays… without a lot of time to breathe in between. Forward we go…on to the Holiday Hustle… The good news is […]
Marshall not only got to make new friends but also got to visit their BOOKSTORE, see his first Christmas tree (sorry for the blurry shot I was much too interested in seeing his reaction 😉 ) and enjoy a nice dinner out! If you are ever in Geneva, please GO TO STOMPING GROUNDS!! It is […]
There’s this thing going around Facebook where people post something they are thankful for every day. I just don’t have the time to participate. My facebook usage is erratic at best. So I just need to tell the world how thankful I am for my mom…who had me November 4 many, many years ago. Without […]
Being a mom is a tough job. Being a mom of four wild boys and one with a heart condition is definitely not easy. Being mom to all of them plus being sick for over a week has been super hard. And when 6 out of 6 of your family members fall ill, everything else […]
Marshall’s cardiologist appointment was full of good surprises today. Thankfully. We really needed some good news and we got surprised. Marshall’s echo revealed NO CHANGE in the gradient where the blockage was pre-cath. Annnnnddd the function of his heart has improved (however slightly). Good surprises after a very, very long few days. The count is […]
It’s Isaac’s birthday and the grown ups here are sick sick sick…but ironically so relieved. Marshall is healthy (we took him into the great ladies at his pediatrician’s office this a.m.) and unlikely to catch what we have got. Now to call in the reinforcements to get the party (and dinner and laundry and errands […]
