So much to report!

I've been trying to find some time to get to the blog the last couple of weeks, but someone keeps me very busy around here. I first want to report that last week Rylynn had an appointment with the cardiologist. She had an echo, EKG, and a few other tests and they all came back wonderfully. Dr. Rowe was thrilled with her heart function and her growth. We were able to stop her lasix and so now we're only down to TWO meds, I can't believe it! Her oxygen levels were holding steady at 87, which is great! Gilly and I are thrilled, the power of prayer is amazing. Her great condition is nothing like what we were told to expect with a single ventricle baby. She has exceeded all that the doctors prepared us for. We are so proud of her!

Now to let you know what the stinker has been up to. She is a scootin' fool! Of course, she is still scooting backwards, once she kicks it into drive we're in trouble! Even though she travels everyone in reverse, she has no problems getting where she needs to go in a hurry. And she carries things in her mouth while she scoots.

The other night, Gilly and I put up her swing that Granny and Papa gave her for Christmas and it's a hit! She loves it and we've been lucky enough that the weather has been nice this week for her to enjoy it.


Just before Christmas, Ry took her first trip down to Corpus. She attended my office Christmas party with Gilly and me. My co-workers were excited to meet her and we got to spend the next day out snapping a few pics. Unfortunately, it was quite cold and windy, but we'll be sure to head back this summer when we can take Rylynn down to the water.

I love this picture!

And speaking of work, now that Rylynn is quite mobile, she cruises around my office and the hallway outside my office for hours each day. I can contain her with kiddie gates and just let her scoot. The other day I was busy working on some color boards for a project and Rylynn was my helper. She loved me being on the floor with her and she loved looking at all the different colored things I had. She's quite the little helper!

I once again extend my sincerest thanks to all of our family and friends who have continued to include our family in your prayers. We are so lucky to have so many great people who love us. Until next time!

With love. . .
