The last two weeks have been pretty interesting and I have finally made some progress. My parents had another one of those dreaded meetings, but this time, it was a little better than the last two. As things had seemed so bleak before, we now have some indication that my heart may actually be able repair itself some. The last test showed some changes that had my doctors say that they were encouraged by what they saw. I know by now, you all know how cute I am (who could resist these big cheeks), so it's no wonder that I have picked up yet another girlfriend. There is this really awesome pediatric doctor who has taken an interest in me and has been doing everything that she can to try to help me. She's used to dealing with us older babies and I think she has a thing for me.....lol. Many of her suggestions have actually helped with my progress. She challenged me to wean my oxygen down under 60% and I was able to do just that. One of her suggestions was to try putting me on my belly more and for reasons way too complicated for me to explain on here, it has helped tremendously. Yesterday was supposed to be the end of my 2 week paralysis, but everyone decided that it would be beneficial to go for another week or 2 to see if we can maximize the progress that I've made. We realize that it is going to take a while before I am fully recovered, so we continue to be patient and pray for healing.

The progress that I have made is the best Christmas present that we could have ever asked for. I have my tree up and my Christmas music playing and am looking forward to a great celebration on Friday. Happy holidays to you all and PLEASE be sure to keep me in your prayers. Thanks so much.
