Boring Is Good........

.......this is Dr. Brames famous words when we have a good check up! Dr. Brames says boring is good, nothing has improved and nothing has gotten worse. Mainly talking about his mitral valve. It hasn't shown any signs of improvement but it also hasn't gotten any worse. He noticed a little membrane at the bottom of his aortic valve known as subaortic membrane. It can eventually obstruct the flow but as of right now there is no blockage and he will continue to keep a close eye on it. It's nothing that concerned him too much today and we don't go back until March 12th! He still had a little narrowing where his coarc was which is to be suspected. He weighed 21 lbs 9.5 oz. He has slowed down in his growth but is definitely still a tank. He was very happy with the way Thad was progressing and of course he impressed all the ladies in the office.


Thad likes to help guide the technicians hand.....he's had enough echo's he could probably do them himself! He watched baby einstein while getting his echo.


We also had a couple visitors stay with us for a few days. Adam's sister Jena and her son Josh came to town. They were here in time for Thad's appointment so they tagged along with us.

Jena and Josh(the other tank! Josh is a BIG boy for only being 4 1/2 months old)

We are sooo happy to hear about Thad's "boring" check up! It is so wonderful to watch him growing up and becoming a little man! It helps us remember that God does work miracles and he is living proof of that! Tony, Sue, and Emily
