Final RSV shot!

Today I took Ethan in to his pediatrician for his final RSV shot for this season...hopefully - the nurse said no more doses should be shipped to them, but that they'd call us if another dose arrives next month. We won't have to get those again until October! The nurse weighed him at 18lb. 2 3/4 oz. (8.23kg) so he seems to be growing well! The doctor made a comment to Ethan about how big he's growing and Ethan burst into tears - and he hadn't even received his shot yet - poor kid, LOL!

We go back to the cardiologist next Thursday, 3-20 for another followup. Hopefully we'll get approved to take Ethan off his one and only medicine - Lasix (diuretic) that helps drain off any extra fluids in his body from his 2nd heart surgery. Also by that time, we'll be able to start picking Ethan up under his arms once again, so we will finally be able to feel like things are back to normal as they felt right before his surgery. We continue to feel so blessed at how much God has taken care of Ethan and us during the past year since we first found out about Ethan's heart condition! Thank you all for your continued prayers and support to help us along on our journey!
