More Good News
Joseph went to the cardiologist on May 5 and had an electrocardiogram. The news was all good. The blood flow through his heart and aorta is good and they are very happy with his progress. This continues to push his potential heart surgery out for at least a year. His narrowing of the aorta is improved and he does not need to return for his heart check up for at least three months.
Joseph's nose is a different story. Joseph still has the tubes to keep his nasal passageways open and he will have surgery on June 11 to remove the tubes. This will be a quick but very important surgery. His chances of the passageway staying open are 60/40. These are tough odds but Joseph is a tough kid. If all goes well his passageways will stay open until a corrective surgery at about 5 years old can be done. It is not good to have to do the surgery earlier because he is growing so much and it can lead to complications.
Joseph has been able to be out so much more and he loves being around many people. He is very happy and is generous with his smiles. It is good for the family to be able to do more things together and we are so appreciative of all the continued support and prayers for Joseph. Katherine received First Communion on Sunday and it was great to have the entire family all around to support her in this big step.
The girls are such great big sisters to Joseph and while they make us nervous when they carry him around, Joseph loves his sisters and yells in delight when they take care of him. Joseph is crawling more all the time. This is surprising because he almost never is on the ground if the girls are around because they hold him so much.
I am out of town right now so I do not have some new photos to upload but I will add some photos when I return. God Bless you all!
