Yesterday was really good. Caden went for his 9 month check-up at the pediatrician. He weighed in at 17 lb 8 oz and also received his 4 months shots. He is still pretty far behind on shots due to immune concerns. Caden will have more blood work done while sedated for the botox next week to see is his immune system has improved since the last blood work done during the Nissen in June. We hope that all is well and can get him some live vaccines in the fall before the cold season really kicks in.
Riley had a big day yesterday. Riley went to the dentist for the very first time yesterday. Below is a picture of him getting his teeth checked out.
The best part of the day for Riley was the gravy biscuits at Hardee’s after the dentist appointment where he got to see two trains go by while eating. He also got a new toothbrush with a cover that he loves.
Yesterday was a good day for our friend Emory. He had some test that all went good and he is cleared for surgery today to place the shunt. Please pray for Emory today and ask for God’s protection over this little boy.
Praise God, our little friend Hailey passed a swallow study yesterday for solid foods and is cleared for baby food by mouth now.
The Drake twins are headed home. They reached eight feedings by mouth yesterday and will get to come home after a couple of more days of monitoring.
I got several emails from friends and family over the past day and a half. The emails have all been very uplifting and supportive. So many people have assured us that they are there praying for us. Many of them with their own overwhelming issues to deal with at times. I thank you for sharing those things. As much as I talk to God these days it is a really good idea to let me know what you need to pray for becasue you will get a ton more prayer that way. We thank you for including us in your family. I thank you all so much for your love and support. I read this morning 1 Corinthians 13. I believe the last verse of that chapter went something like this in The Living Bible, ” The most important things we have are faith, hope, and love. The most important is Love.” Thank you for your love. You have ours too.
These are all great things that we can thank God for today. Have a great day.
God Bless!
