Marshall’s (Less Than Picture Perfect) First Trip To Roger’s Center

by

Accepting imperfection is a challenge. Embracing it is mastery.

And living with this many men helped me with both 😉

The sun finally came through on Auntie Erin’s 24th birthday. So to celebrate Spring, we loaded up the wild boys, braved the mud, and even managed to run into our (I’M AN AUNT!!!) niece and her family.

Michael also armed himself with his camera.

Here are my favorite pics:

T-W-E-L-V-E WEEKS TODAY!

It’s a victory for our little miracle…so far.

I’m pretty sure Round 2 of Marshall’s open heart surgery will be sooner than not.

His oxygen saturations have been all over the place the past few days.   And I’m confident it’s not the pulse oximeter.  I’ve already been in touch with Boston so we know what to do IF…

But I’m not entertaining those thoughts.

He has officially doubled his weight and grown two inches since we brought him home nine weeks ago.

He also FINALLY received the much awaited Synagis shot.  ANND insurance covered the expense!

We see our hometown cardiologist on Monday for a followup unless his oxygen saturations continue to go bananas.

Fingers crossed…whew…small sigh…

So.  Incredibly.  Thankful.
