Updates

We wanted to pass on some great news, thank you for your prayers and ask for you to continue to pray. We saw Dr. Laird, the pedo cardiologist again today and he called the check-up "very encouraging"! The fluid around the heart is now gone and it appears to be pumping "better". Also, the VSD (the large hole) appears to be "smaller" than it was and in his words "could possibly be trying to close up". The right ventricle was still slightly smaller than the left and the tricuspid valve still has a "moderate" leak. He said the words "very encouraging" several times, which made us smile...a lot. The structural defects are still there, but the heart overall seems to be functioning better.
We're in no way out of the woods yet, but he's stretched out our visits to every two weeks for now and things seem to be headed in a good direction. Thank you so much for your prayers. We ask that you continue to pray for her (and us).

Here are some pictures as of recent.  I feel very behind on updating, but this is the best I can do right now!

Noah turned 5 on the 21st and had a pirate party!



We had our Thanksgiving Feast and program at preschool.  Cohen was a turkey and wasn't really into singing in front of a large crowd!




Noah was a pilgrim and did a great job singing his song, saying his poem and playing instruments.  Still can't believe he is 5 and that this is his last year of preschool!


Our family of 4!


Hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving!  Christmas will be here before we know it!  Yikes!

Praise God for the good news about your baby girl's heart. We have been praying for her & will continue to do so.

Of course, I'm so happy about sweet baby's progress! Also, the pictures of Noah...makes me want to cry when reminded that they are finishing their last year at preschool. Where did the time go? And I love the one of Cohen "hiding" during the turkey song. I miss those kiddos. Love your vest in the last pic too! Okay, after that paragraph, I'm done. :)
