The visit to the cardiologist was very uneventful. In Joseph's situation that is a good thing. The doctor is happy with his progress and very happy with the increased blood flow due to his angioplasty. There is still an issue with the aorta and it will still need to be taken care of at some point, but for now the word is: "go home and enjoy the Holidays." I asked the doctor if we should be overly concerned at this point and he said no. Joseph is doing well and he is thriving. He is on a small dosage of a medicine to help with his blood pressure. We do not need to come back to see the cardiologist for a month. To top it off he is cleared to have the tubes in his nose removed. That will be done in a short surgery to be done within a month. The short surgeries are easy compared to what he has been through.
Joseph continues to be a happy and easy baby. He has a bit of a cold right now but still gives us a smile every time he sees us. He eats well, sleeps great and keeps getting bigger. He is 15 pounds 11 ounces and growing out of his clothes. This is a good thing!
The Christmas season takes on a special meaning this year. Joseph continues to give us the gift of perspective. We are able to look at things with a different view than before. We have an increased appreciation for Family, Faith and Friends. We are blessed with the gift of this new life that has us thinking and praying about hope, love, commitment, faith, charity community and how very fortunate we are.
I love this time of year and I even like all that goes into getting ready for Christmas. This year it is better than ever. I hope you enjoy the preparation and may you have a wonderful Christmas and Holiday Season.
All the best,
Kenny
