Joseph is doing well and continues to grow. He can roll over back to front and front to back. He continues to be happy and except for knocking his bouncy chair over he has not had any setbacks.
It is now time to prepare for his next surgery. If all goes as planned he will have surgery on January 29. Compared to the other surgeries, this should be a snap. But, anytime he goes under anesthesia there is always that lingering fear. He will have surgery next week to remove the tubes in his nose that have allowed him to breathe. He is old enough to know that if his nasal passageways get blocked that he can open his mouth to keep breathing. It will be strange to see him without his tubes (or as I call them, his "nostril extenders") He has had them since he was less than a week old. His lungs are stronger and have more capacity so they whistle a bit when he breathes now. His sound will be less familiar.
We need to keep him from getting a cold before his surgery so we will tighten up his exposure to the world one more time. We do look forward to the day when we can take him and the entire family to a public area like church, school or even a restaurant. But what we look forward to most is taking him to see all the great people who have been pulling for him and praying for him. Until that time I will keep posting pictures and video clips. Here one that lets you see more of him than ever before!
Please keep Joseph and his doctors in your prayers. We will continue to keep you in our prayers.
Kenny and family

Well the Lund girls got an IPod for XMAS and Casey (finally) got new speakers for her computer. Had to wait for our "tech person" (Katie) to hook them up. I have just gone through your blog so I could listen to all Joseph has had to say! My goodness, he is growing and talking so much ... even Jim yelled from the other room ... "who's that baby"!
Please come visit when you take a family ride, can't wait to hold Joseph. You continue to be in our prayers, With love xoxo
