Welcome Spring




My good friend let me know today the good news...today is the first day of spring. Wow, I never knew I would be so excited to be done with winter. Although it still seemed like winter with how much coughing there was at church today. Well, things have been going really well. Landen is looking great, gaining weight, and his heart is doing great. He is starting to walk along all kinds of furniture. He still refuses to crawl, but I am convinced he could do it, but he just doesn't want to. All in all things are going great. We could not be happier. Just to give you a preview of things to come in the next couple of months. This month we have more hearing tests. There is about 20-30% chance that Landen could lose his hearing anytime during childhood, so we have to continue to check him for hearing loss. He seems to hear well, so that is reassuring, but they have to do more hearing test while he is asleep. We also in May have an eye appointment to make sure nothing is structurally wrong with his eyes. He tracks well and seems to see fine, so that too is reassuring. Also in May we have our yearly heart cath. I can't believe it, but we are almost one year post-transplant...what an amazing year. So, we have a few appointments coming up, but "it is all good." As you can see, the kids absolutely adore their little brother...KoKo a little too much. Although lately he is into biting and his favorite person to bite (or the one that doesn't more there hands, legs or toes out of Landen's mouth) is KoKo. She always says "LANDO" in her meanest high pitched quiet voice. It is sad, but it almost makes me laugh every time...
