Time is Flying By!

I can't believe it is almost February! This school year has flown by! Tanner man is in the 1st grade and still loving school. His favorite subject is Science followed by Math. He is very shy at school, but makes up for it at home. Tate has started going to a Pre School program once a week with his cousin Kennedy and loves it. He has finally mastered writing his own name! He is also very much into wrapping items that he finds around the house and giving them to me as presents. He has recently given me a necklace, candy dish, and a toy dinosaur. He looks so sweet and sincere when he gives it to me. It just melts my heart..... Taylor bug is looking good now. She had a really rough month in December and even spent one night in the hospital. It was all viral, but it took a lot out of her. Thankfully, we were still able to fly to Jeff's hometown for Christmas to visit with his wonderful family. The boys went roller skating and skiing for the first time. They were amazing! It was one of those moments as a mom, where you feared they were going to fall and get hurt, but the excitement on their face made everything okay. I'm sure we will have many more of those days to come!

Recently, Taylor had a recheck with her cardiologist Dr. Hannon. Unfortunately, it was not the best of news. He said her heart had gotten a tad bit larger over the last 6 months. When I asked him if this was a significant change, he said, "it is not a significant change, but definitely a noticeable change. The size of her heart has increased by 5 mm over the last 6 months." He thought, her heart may have been stressed because of how sick she was back in December. She was pretty much on oxygen and taking breathing treatments every 3-4 hours for a good month. So, he put her back on Digoxin and increased her carvedilol from 2x a day back to 3x a day. She has another Echo scheduled for February 3rd, so we are hoping for some better news. I will try and update then.....

Thanks for the continued prayers!
