Our Little Surgeon in the Making...


It's amazing the things our kids take in. Joshua loves performing "surgery" on his bears with Noah's old supplies. To them this is just part of everyday life. Who knows were it might lead someday...
Noah's bloodwork this week looked fabulous. His white count and platelets are back to normal and his triglycerides and bilirubin are also back down. His ALT and AST (liver functions) are still slightly elevated, but much improved as well. So no more bloodwork until next Monday. His palate surgery that was scheduled for the end of January has been cancelled after much discussion with the surgeon and our pediatrician. Right now the risks outweigh the benefits, and so until it looks like Noah is beginning to show more speech progression, we will not pursue it. Noah has started saying "mama" in the past couple of weeks: a huge step in the right direction!!

That's amazing that Noah is saying "mama". It's so cool to hear about how he is progressing and learning! I'm glad to hear things are going well for you all right now.
