All I want for Christmas...
December is once again upon us. Can't believe how fast the time is going by. Owen just turned two, and Mackay is four.
Relatively speaking, the family health meter is up a few notches. Owen just got great news (after having to undergo surgery to repair a hernia he was born with). Since they had to knock him out for the surgery, they were able to also do an MRI on his heart. It's been awhile since they've had good heart pics (he will no longer sit still for the ultrasound), and we were all pleased to learn that his heart is continuing to grow - especially in the places where it was seemingly too narrow before.
In fact, his normally reserved cardiologist went as far as to say that if things continue this way, he may never need another heart surgery. We are incredibly grateful and relieved. Bill and I hardly know what to do with ourselves now that we don't have this looming worry!
Bill is continuing to recover. 3 months post chemo, he's still in remission, which is a good start.
Anyway - we have much to be thankful for this Christmas, and we're hoping for an incredibly boring and uneventful 2012. We wish you a warm and wonderful holiday!
