FINALLY A UPDATE

I am so sorry its been a while, we have been so busy and i hardly have time to sit and update. Liam has been doing really well. He was sick on Halloween with a fever but i think it was from the 4 shots he got at his 1 year old check up earlier that morning. I will post his Halloween pictures soon.Liam had a Cardiology appt on October 24th and everything looks good, She didn't get a good look at the Glenn because he was moving around too much but she said he is doing well and his 02 sats are running 86 to 91. Liam had his RSV shot on November 5th and will get them monthly thru the RSV season, his next RSV shot is December 3rd. He will be getting his Flu shot on Wednesday. My poor baby and all his shots. Liam weighs 16 pounds and 2 ounces. Liam's first tooth popped thru on the bottom on Friday October 24th he is soo cute and another next to it looks like it will be in soon. Liam isn't cranky with the teeth but he is just not wanting to eat which is very frustrating to us. I have tried number 3 foods so he can get use to the texture but he really isn't ready to eat it since he chokes on it and throws everything up that he eats. I FINALLY GOT A PHYSICAL THERAPIST FOR LIAM!!! He is going Tomorrow at 9 am. I am soo happy. He was suppose to be there today at 9 am but i wrote down the wrong time for his appt so tomorrow is his first day. He will be going Monday and Tuesday every week or more after she evaluates him tomorrow. Liam can sit up but can't reach over to grab things or he will fall, I am hoping that withthis PT he can get stronger and start crawling before the summer. I want to Apologize for not posting sooner but after Liam's 1st Birthday we had our other childrens birthday to get ready for and we have been busy since. I am thankful that you leave comments and prayers still for Liam. These pictures are of Liam of the last couple months for his big 1st bday and some other pictures afterwards . I will be updating on his PT/ST appointment and other updates. I almost forgot, Liam is getting a big Vocabulary, he says Doggy, Baby, Ba Ba, ALL GONE!!! Whenever he finishes eating we say all gone and he says that when he doesn't want anymore food. He makes animal noises for a monkey and he says HEEEE HAW FOR A DONKEY ITS SOO CUTE! He can say clap as he claps his hands and he loves music and will hum to it if he hears some. Liam is so amazing and puts a smile on my face everyday.

HAPPY 1ST BIRTHDAY

Today is Liam's 1st birthday. I can't believe how fast this year has gone, but when you think back on the birth and the surgeries how slow it went then. We are still in shock that he is turning 1. Last year we really didn't know if Liam would be here with us today and having faith in God and prayers from friends and family and from other Heart Families we met online and in person we would have never had made it through all this. We now know their is hope for these children more now than 20 years ago, We have wanted to get in the CHD Community and start donating for CHD Awareness, so we are designing shirts that you can buy and all proceeds will be going to a CHD Charity, If you are interested just leave a response and when we finish the shirts we will post what they look like and how much and i will have the CHD charity Posted that the money will go to. But right now i have a BIG 1 YEAR OLD BIRTHDAY PARTY TOGETHER before i can start working on the shirts. Actually i have 3 birthday parties to get together lol Liams older sister Aryanna's birthday is tomorrow she will be turning 7 and then Friday is Jakes 3rd Birthday. We are thankful for all the friends and family who continue to pray and leave comments for Liam.

We will be having a big party for Liam on Saturday. I will be taking a lot of pictures and post them with his party update. This year has really been a hard one for us, and we take our emotions we still have day by day. We are so Blessed to have Liam in our life and that we can post every milestone that he has accomplished.

UPDATE

Sorry so long for an update, i have been having computer problems and not able to get to get to this website and others to update. Liam has been doing well, he hasn't had any doctor visits or any complications. We are coming up on Liam's 1st Birthday in 2 weeks September 24th, we will be having a big party for him on the 27th so i will definitely be updating then and showing off pictures. I am going to try to post some recent pictures of Liam since i have been having problems with my computer i hope they load. We were very lucky to have not had any of those hurricanes, Tropical Storm Hannah did stay on the coast and we got a few days of wind and rain but nothing we couldn't handle. We were ready to leave if Hurricane Ike would have come through, we had ordered all Liams medicines and packed just incase, it was looking pretty scary for us for a few days but i am glad it turned away. Unfortunatley it turned up towards the coast and thru texas where i have met alot of Heart Families online and a few were in the Hospital waiting for their children to go thru the Glenn or the 3rd stage surgery the Fontan. We definitely prayed for Texas and the families and are glad that the families we do know are fine.

UPDATE

Hi, sorry about not posting in over a month. I didn't have any time to get on the computer, since our summer was ending so soon after July went by so fast. The kids are back at school August 18th and I have been trying to adjust without having all the kids home. Liam has had no issues at all this summer and doing great. We had gone on a little vacation to visit my brother and wife and my niece and nephews. We also Visited my best friend and her family who lives only 15 min down the street It was only a 3 hour drive and we had fun and the girls went with Nana and Papa to Universal and parks and had a great time. Liam is growing so fast, he went to his Pediatrician August 1st and he is 26 inches and he has hit the 15 pound mark yayy. Liam hasn't had any physical therapy sessions in a while, so i am trying to get him a new pt that i am happier with that someone had told me about. Liam is now rolling from his tummy to his back and he is also starting to wave hi and bye, and he also has started saying Hi!!!! He is 11 months this sunday and can't believe how fast this year has gone. I want to thank everyone for their continued prayers and comments on Liam's website. Again sorry for no updates. I will be posting alot of pictures soon, here is a couple to see how much he has grown over the summer!!! And a group picture of Liam's older brother and sisters, Christin, Kyra Hope, Aryanna and Jake.
OO Liam has a new friend, her name is Sophie and she is a 1 year old black pug, she loves Liam and gives him alot of kisses, and at first he didn't know what to think of all the kisses because our other 2 dogs don't bother him and never have licked him, but he likes her alot!

This summer is flying by fast! We been swimming and trying to stay cool. Liam has a little stuffy nose and having a hard time sleeping the last couple nights but today he has been sneezing the stuff i can't pull out with the suction. His Physical Therapy is coming up but i have been giving him lots of tummy time and now as soon as you put him on his tummy he rolls right to back, he doesn't want to be on his stomach at all!! Now to get him to roll from back to his tummy but i am sure with the Physical therapy he will be doing that before no time. We are going to be putting him in a jumper because he needs to get his legs strengthened up. I have lost my battery charger for the camera and will be posting pictures as soon as i find it. Here are some from last week of him eating and right before bedtime that i uploaded last week and haven't had the chance to put them up until now. Liam loves the pool and if you say Pool he gets really excited and kicks his legs, so we know he knows what pool means. Please pray that Liam's little stuffy nose doesn't turn into a full blown cold and he can sleep at night. Thanks for your continued prayers

POOL FUN
