Mr. Smileypants

Look mommy, I found my hands!!!

Man, this kid is SOOOOO happy. I think most 5 month olds are, but it's just so amazing to see it in a child who has spent as much time in the hospital as he has. He really has every reason to be whiny and complainy, but honestly, other than when he's hungry or they're trying to retape his ng tube, this is what I'm treated to most of the day:
Not much new to report for Bodie, except that he's happy and gaining weight, which makes mama happy. In other updates, my mom's surgery was a success and she was home hours afterward!!! She's in some pain but is really doing wonderfully. Bodie's heart friend Josh has had a rougher week. He had his valve repair and Glenn surgery yesterday. They thought it was really successful, but then his echo this morning showed the valve was coming loose again, so they had to rush him back into the OR and attempt the repair again. He did ok, but the doctor's are cautious about how they think he will do. Please continue to keep him in your prayers!

Thanks,
Amy

  1. Okay, I could just go ahead and eat him up!!! That smile just melts my heart!!! I'm so happy to hear he's putting on weight! Go, Bodie!!! Also glad to hear your mom's surgery was successful. And I'll be praying for little Josh. I can't even imagine! God is in control and thankfully He's still in the miracle business, as is proven to us heart families every single day!!!
