Trip 3 to ACH - Sept 18th

We just returned from a quick trip to Arkansas. We left on the 17th, Zoe was a great traveler as usual. Zoe's procedure was at 12:35 on Friday the 18th. It only took about 40 minutes from us passing her off to the nurse, Diane and getting to speak with Dr. Buckmiller. They were all impressed with her progress. The medication is working very well. Her airway looked good. They didn't have to use a breathing tube this time. The Dr was so pleased with her progress and how well she done with the procedure that she released us to go home. We left AR about 4:30 and drove home to sleep in our beds. It was nice to be home all day Sat. We are scheduled to go back in December. Our only concern right now is that she is now growing at the rate that they would like. We are going to start with more of the rice cereal and formula supplements. We are to work with our pediatrician to potentially get her some type of supplements to add to her bottles for extra calories.

We thank God for the continuous progress that she is making and for the safe travelling.

I will post some pictures of our trip soon.

First Day of School

Can you believe it Zachary is going to Kindergarten??? My baby is growing up on me. The first two weeks of school were a staggered schedule of only one day per week. Zachary's day was Friday. He loved it! One the first day, the class went on a "Bear Hunt" to familiarize them to the school. Along their journey they found the cafeteria, the gym and the library. They finally ended up in the principal's office where they found the "Bear", the school mascot, Bricky Bear.
He is now in his second full week. He is loving it. He is making some new friends along with getting to play with some old friends on the playground during recess.
