MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!

I'm positive this will be the most precious Christmas we will ever have! Mason has been the best thing that has ever happened to our family. He really made us see what is most important in life and really brought us closer to eachother. It has also made us realize how many people care about our family and and many true friends we really have. Everyone has been so great and giving to our family. It's nice because I am the type that usually wont ask for help but we haven't needed to, people just keep on giving. We are so overwhelemed with the generosity towards our family. We hope EVERYONE has a MERRY MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!

Mason has been dropping is oxygen levels when he sleep so yesterday his Dr. decided to try some blowby when he is sleeping and drops. The first time when he dropped last night it worked like magic, the second time however not at all. So today it was decided to have him be on a nasal canula at night as long as it isn't making his saturations go above 85%. Also at the doctor today he decided to order some physical therapy because his neck isn't as strong as it should be and he only will turn it one way so we have our first physical therapy appointment today. Other than that he is growing like a Champ! He will be 12 weeks tomorrow and he weighs 8lb 8oz, still tiny for his age but growing just as much as they want him to. :)

THANK YOU a MILLION TIMES!!!

I am positive Zac has the BEST teachers and peers at school!! They had a lunch Monday-Thursday this week to raise money for baby M. It was one of those unexpected but touching gestures!! When Zac called me after he read his email and told me about it I'm not going to lie, I cried! It is so nice to know how many people want to help out! We want to thank everyone who helped and donated. You have no idea what that means to our family. There was an overwhelming amount donated and it is going to help us out more than anyone will ever realize! SO THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU!!

Mason had a doctors appointment on Thursday and is still doing pretty good. The doctor was concerned about a few things but they are the it could be's so until they are the for sures I am trying hard not to stress and get myself down over them. We are looking at in the mid to end of January we will have to go down and he will get a cardiac cath done to look at his heart and check the pressures in his chest, and they will do a sedated Echo. Then a few weeks after that he will have his 2nd open heart surgery called the Glenn. He is still our little fighter and he has so much personality! He is seriously the best baby, he is always smiling and talking. It is so fun! We sure do love him!


This is the poster that was hung around letting people know about the lunches.

Happy 2 months old!!!

Today little M is 2 months old!! Wahoo! He had a cardiology appointment today and is doing pretty good. Now his heart rate is on the low side, go figure! He weighs 7lb 2oz, so still tiny but growing.  I asked them if they had to estimate when his next open heart surgery would be and they are thinking February/March.  But they will have to put him out for a couple of procedures before they do the surgery.  So our lives will continue to stay pretty crazy for awhile.
