Baby Christian

Baby Christian
Christian was born with two very rare congenital heart defects; Hypoplastic Left Heart Syndrome (HLHS) and Endocardial Fibroelastosis (EFE) He will require three (two down, one to go!) open-heart surgeries to sustain life. He is a miracle and a blessing. We are so greatful to have him here with us. Thank you for stopping in. Lilypie 2nd Birthday Ticker

Time flies!

Well, again I have no pictures. My camera is in Pappy's truck, but I decided to post anyway...

Well, we have found out some bad news recently. Christian was diagnosed by the neurologist with Cerebral Palsy. It is the mildest form, but sucks nonetheless! The doc says that really the only thing we may notice is Christian might show slight clumsiness. Hopefully we will be getting more info soon as we have contacted the United Cerebral Palsy organization and they gave us some contact numbers of local people to call.

We spent all of last week at Wickiup Reservoir. A great time was had by all! Christian got to come out one day and enjoyed the shade with Pappy while mommy and Grandma Whee fried their skin off sunning out on the lake. I am sure some skin with grow back now that the blisters are gone and I am slightly less lizard like.

Bryan is looking into some employment closer to home. Hopefully it will come to fruition. He sure is an awesome guy, probably a genius too. And talk about a looker!! Also there is talk of possibly a move to Sisters. I have my fingers crossed for that!

Well, that's about it for now. I will have Nicole add some pictures when she gets a chance.

Thanks for popping in!

Laine Harper

We had a response to a post from a Laine Harper. Unfortunately there is no link back to her. We want so much to get in contact with her. Please, if you know Laine Harper e-mail me directly at d_dwheeler@yahoo.com (there is an underscore between the two d's)

We just want to be a support for her and her unborn baby...

Eight Months!

Our little Christian is eight months old! Wow how time flies! He just started teething again... working on his eye teeth! He came down with viral diarrhea and has been miserable the past three days. The doctors gave me some tips and put him on a special diet until he starts feeling better. His poor bottom is so raw:( Good news is he's crawling! This child is EVERYWHERE!!!! Seriously, there is no need for me to hit the gym when I run around all day chasing after him! He has started saying mama and dada... but usually only when he's crying. Oh well, I'm excited none the less! He's doing great heart wise. Although he is eight months old, he is the size of a three month old. It's the funniest thing to see a baby so small crawling around! I will post pictures as soon as Bryan brings my camera back! Until then, enjoy the weather and thanks for stopping in!

Baby in the water!

Looks like he is really concentrating!



Goofy little smile... LOVE IT!


Baby and Daddy...

We took Christian, mommy and daddy to Eagle Crest for a day in the pool and sun. Christian seemed to really enjoy the water a lot! We had a great time. Christian got nice and tan while I (Grandma) got totally fried! He really enjoys the water and splashing. It was a wonderful day and we are all so thankful that he is well enough to go places with us.

Christian is now 13 pounds! He is growing like a weed. He really enjoys his food. Especially bananas.

Thanks for popping in!
