Some good news!


Well the past couple of weeks has resulted in some good news for Zach. We met with the neurosurgeon and he is not sure there is a tethered cord. He wants to see him again in February with a better MRI done at that point. It is nice to set that issue aside for at least awhile.

We also met with the cardiologist on Wednesday. Craig and I were fully expecting to begin to discuss specific interventions regarding Zach's heart. We had noticed that Zach's coloring was beginning to change to paler with some blueing around his mouth. We expected his O2 stats to be low 80s maybe even into the 70s. We were amazed when they were even better than the last time we were in the office: mid to upper 90s! Since then his coloring seems to have improved also! That means I have at least another month to help Zach get even bigger. He weighed in at 9lbs 4oz. We are hoping for 10 lbs at his next pediatrician appt in 2 weeks.

Thanks for the prayers! We know God is working and we trust Him!
