Follow up appt with surgeon...

Liam passed his follow up appointment with the feeding tube surgeon with flying colors! He weighed in at 12 lb 10 oz that day, which is fantastic. As you can see from the picture, he's really filling out! It's nice to see the round cheeks (with no NG tube or tape on them!!!), don't you think. Sorry the pic is so small--we aren't technologically savvy enough to know how to make it bigger, nor do we have the time to mess with it right now.

His physical therapist is also pleased with his progress. We are working on coaxing him into rolling over. Liam is babbling a whole lot right now--he loves to talk to us!

The next big thing for Liam is a 3-D head CT at the end of this month to determine if he needs a helmet to correct a flat spot on one side of his head (do heads have sides?). Please pray he doesn't have to have one. However, if he does have to have one, we hope and pray it won't take long to correct the problem.

Please don't take the lack of posts as an indication that the need for ongoing prayers has decreased. Lisa has been extraordinarily busy since returning to work following her maternity leave, and the blog has suffered as a result.

In Christ,
Bill and Lisa

Long past due pics from the fall...

Sorry for the delay in posting these pics! I know, I know--I should be posting November and December pictures!! Thought you might like to see Halloween pics first. Hopefully I'll get Thanksgiving and Christmas pictures up in the next month. It's easier now that I'm back at work and have access to a better computer (I love my Mac!!).

I'm entitling the top picture, "If only magic wands worked!!" As you can see, Liam was not impressed with Halloween. But he sure does have a cute sleeper on, eh?

In Christ,

We're home!!!!!!

Woooooooooohooooooooooooooo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

And have I mentioned how excellent the cardiology nurses are at Vandy lately???

Happy to be home as of around 4 p.m. today!!! Liam is doing great with his new feeding tube, and it sure is nice to see him without a tube down his nose!!

In Christ,
Bill and Lisa
