A Big Event is coming up!

Hi everyone, it has been a long time. Elijah is doing well. We have a appointment for him in Charlottesville at UVA Medical Center in Charlottesville next week. He will be seeing a Cardiologist that specializes in Pediatric Cardiomyopathy. Elijah will be 11 months old on March 12. His current weight is 16 lbs. He is still recieving PT at home and we are looking forward to the Spring and his first birthday in April!

I have started a team, Team Elijah, Lucas, and David for the March of Dimes, March for Babies. This event is coming up in May. I am looking for sponsers, please visit my page for more information, it can be found at http://www.marchforbabies.org/personal_page.asp?si=5060648C-5A65-43A7-ABB8-1B659217D747&prefill=

NICU notes....

Elijah is doing so good. We may even get to come home in a couple of weeks as long as everything continues to go well! He has recovered nicely from surgery and is starting to eat now. He is able to take 5 mls from a bottle! He has come so far from 1lb 80z, he now weighs 6lbs 8 oz! I hope and pray he continues to do well so that I can go back home. I miss the mountains and it is hard to be 12 hours away from everyone I know and love. But, I am thankful to God for bringing Elijah so far. The NEC could have killed him. That is what took his brother Lucas. I find that when I finally let go, and put it all in God's hands, that's when things seem to start going better! I'm so thankful to have my little guy, and his big brothers! I know God will continue to bless our family!
