On the up and up road . . .

Just wanted to let everybody know we are doing great. Matthew is gaining strength every day. We go back to see Dr. Fortuna on Monday with a chest x-ray so let's pray that everything still looks good. The next week we go to see the Pediatrician and the Cardiologist. Lots of appointments but we don't mind going just to hear good reports. Our biggest issue right now is being stuck at home. It takes 6-8 weeks for Matthew's immune system to rebuild itself so no public places until then. The other fun thing is that we can't pick him up under his arms so that his sternum heals. That was a lot easier when he was a baby. We are getting pretty good at scooping him up by his legs. Thank God he doesn't weigh a lot. Although, I am ready for him to gain his weight back.

Here are a few fun pictures from the past 2 weeks.

 After we got home, Matthew fell asleep on the floor. He was nervous to be on the couch that he would fall. He was very protective of his owies.

I was trying to get some pictures to make his birthday party invitation. He is a Toy Story nut so we are having a Toy Story party and he is going to be Woody for Halloween. You can tell from the picture on the top that he wasn't happy about this photo shoot but he was happier outside so that is the one we are using for his invitations.
