Lookin good

Andrew's cardiology appointment went well today. He only cried a little : ) Actually, I noticed last time we went to the pediatrician that in the car on the way there he gave me a nervous look. So he's on to us. But really he did well today & I think the cardiologist was happy with how well he's been doing. Andrew is truly a living miracle. He is scheduled to go back on August 4th for an echocardiogram & to have his iv line removed (HURRAY!!! Bath tub here we come!). He is still growing like a weed & catching up pretty well. Today he was 16lbs 3oz, 27" long & 16.5" head circumference. That puts him at about 50% for height & about 15% for weight. Still a little small for a baby in general, but an excellent come back for a medically complex kid with as much action as his first 5 months had. Steve & I are just so proud of him! He continues to get stronger & discover new things ever day. He is truly a joy & we can't thank you all enough for your continued prayers & support. I'll try to get more pictures / videos up soon. Our computer is still spotty since the o j incident. I'll try to be more careful with the beverages.

What a wonderful report! We're all proud of Andrew and of you, Betsy and Steve. You're doing a great job.

We also thank God for the blessing of Andrew and for all the help given to him.
