Simon's First Christmas

We are very grateful for Simon's first Christmas! His brother and sister have had a few normal kid sicknesses in the past few weeks and Simon has not come down with any sniffles or coughs. We still have not heard from the metabologist but we continue to pray that the test for PCD is negative. That would be a great gift!

There have been almost 8,000 hits on this blog. We assume that this means hundreds of people have been praying for Simon. We thank you for praying. Please continue to pray for Simon once in a while.

Surprise visitor at church

We had a surprise visitor at church this morning. If you have been following this blog you may remember Madison. She is a baby who is the niece of a man in our church. She was also in Riley's hospital and was in serious trouble.

Madison was in church this morning! Praise God.

Simon is doing incredibly well but we still have not heard results from all the tests and have to protect him from sickness. Simon stayed at home this morning. He is really doing well and has avoided all the sniffles and normal kid sicknesses that have affected his brother and sister.

Please continue to pray for Simon and join us as we praise God for Madison.

Pulmonary Report

We are still waiting on the metabolic tests. They told us it would take a while.

Simon was at Riley's last week for a Pulmonary Doc and he did well. They talked about a couple of times when his O2 level dropped but and he might have some re-flux but he is doing extremely well.

He put on 1 lb 1 oz in a 10 days! He's around 75% for height and 50% for weight. He really appears to be doing very well.

As always we thank you for praying. Things are going so well we forget to update. However we still keep Simon at home and keep him on a monitor at night until we hear more from the reports. A good report would be a great Christmas present.

However, God has already been so good to us. It's incredible!

Neuro reports are good.

Simon's neurology visit went well. Dean said that they were pretty amazed at how well he is doing. We continue to be an amazement at all God has done for and through Simon. We expect to hear from the Metabolic doctor soon with information about the cause of all this.

Once more.... thanks for praying.

Neurology Doc

Dean and Summer and Simon are in Indy again for a Neurologists visit. Simon has been growing and becoming more responsive all the time, but we are praying that some of the brain trauma he experienced was only temporary. Stay tuned for a report.
