Happy 1st Birthday Brody!!!!

We absolutely can't believe that our little man is 1 already.  He has got so big!!!  Just by looking at him you wouldn't even know that he has a heart condition.  He is healthy, developing at a normal rate and is ready to run.  We celebrated his 1st Birthday on April 7 with family and a few friends.  We had an Elmo cake (which I made and had a bunch of fun doing it compared to the Spiderman cake I did the week before for Caine's 4th Birthday).

So how is Brody you ask....since Christmas we have had a few set backs but doing well.  In January we ended up in the hospital with Croup.  It sucked.  We checked in on Sunday night and were there until late Thursday afternoon.  They kept telling us that they were not going to release him until his oxygen stats were in the high nineties...which is impossible for Brody as being in the low nineties in an accomplishment for a child with a Congential Heart Defect.  So once they finally believed us and Brody got checked out by the Cardiologist (who happened to be in Regina) we got to go home.

I went to  back to work April 10 and April 11 Brody caught a virus of some sort that caused his hands and feet to have blue spells.  Very odd. I went to get him checked out and he was fine just a cold virus of some sort.  His oxygen level was 93 so very good.  It passed in a few days so no worries.

Now he is just a happy go luck kid who couldn't cut teeth if he tried :)  He just has the two bottom teeth that he cut at 10 months and nothing since.  But he eats whatever everyone else does so no more baby food for him.  He is no baby that is for sure.  

We have a follow up Cardiologist report on May 31 in Saskatoon so once we have the next steps and results from that appointment I will update the blog.  I will try to do it more as alot of you ask for updates.

For your viewing pleasure here are some birthday pics and a few pics that we had taken from Drawn Daisy here in Regina.  Krista is great :)
