More Updates...

Pictures will be coming soon, but here is a brief bullet point list of what we have been up to

• Caroline has started daycare
• I am back at work
• Austin Kieff has lost both of his teachers at school (new jobs and school) and has a new teacher named Ms. Amber
• Austin Kieff has a new pet, his name is Tom. He (we assume) is a blue beta
• Austin Kieff will be moving to a new daycare in August
• Austin Kieff loves playing baseball...he can actually hit the ball when it is pitched to him
• Austin Kieff is having a pirate party this Saturday
• We went to John Waynes first summer ball game last Wednesday. Austin Kieff loved every minute that we were there. Caroline slept through most of it.
• We spent the weekend in Cullman with David's parents. We spent most of the day Saturday at the Lake where Austin Kieff had a quick boat ride, swam and played baseball.
• Mary Margaret has had her last "big" chemo treatment. She will continue to have the weekly treatments and therapy on her arm. She starts radiation next month

I think those are the main highlights...more in depth details with pictures soon, promise :)

Visit from the Elmore Family

I had a wonderful treat on the 20th of this month, my friend Jamie and her BEAUTIFUL family met us at Family Night at Riddle Pace Field in Troy. Although I had not seen Jamie in over four years, I keep up with her in the blog world. Real life Jamie is so much better!! Talking is so much better than typing messages...email or live chat. We enjoyed the home run derby and fireworks together. Well, two children who will remain nameless did not enjoy the fireworks. Surprisingly, Caroline did not have a problem.

Thanks Jamie and Josh for bringing your family to visit. We had a wonderful time and hope it is not another four years before we see each other again!!

Update One of Many

Well, we have not been online in some time at home because our computer was not working. Thankfully it only took $70 to fix and the great folks at PC Plus in Troy to figure out what was wrong!

So, as for Miss Caroline:

She is doing great! Thanks for all the emails and calls. We had several more visits to the doctor, but her last blood culture did not grow anything out which means the antibiotics did what they were supposed to.

She has since had her 2 month checkup. She was 11 pounds and 22 3/4 inches long! Quite a bit bigger than the 7.5 pounds and 19 inches she was at birth.

Today she went back to see her cardiologist. She was not released, but we do not have to go back until September. The PFO is almost completely closed, but there is another small hole that is allowing blood to go where it should not. It is called an atrial septal defect. Right now we are not going to do anything. She will be monitored to see if it grows larger or just stays the same. The ASD is what is responsible for the enlargement of the right ventricle. This is great news because it really is not too serious and can be fixed if needed.

So, that is the news on Miss Caroline...by the way she was 24 inches long today and 11 pounds 9 ounces!

Caroline

Just a quick update as I am at work...

Caroline's blood culture is growing out a bacteria and therefore we had repeat bloodwork on Friday. They also took a urine speciman via catheter. The bacteria could be contamination, lets pray for that one, but if it wasn't, the antibiotics she has already been on will fight the strand that is growing.
