15 Pounds!

Jake had his cardiology check-up with Dr. Grenier yesterday and he is doing really well. He's weighing in at a whopping 15 pounds which puts him in the 25th percentile. Dr. Grenier didn't hear any regurgatation in his heart which means no signs of congestive heart failure. They did an EKG on him yesterday which was quite humorous. In the past he has been so good for all of his tests and always lies still for the x-rays and echos. He now loves to grab everything in sight so as soon as the nurse would stick a wire on him, he would pull it right back off. Jake thought it was a really fun game to play :) Eventually she and I got all of the wires attached and the test came back with good results. So, God is good and is continuing to take care of our precious Jake. We don't have to go back to Dr. Grenier until October. I do have one prayer request regarding Jake's health--we are battling with the insurance company to get a RSV vaccine for him. He would have to have a shot once a month this fall and winter to protect him from RSV. Our doctors have written letters to the insurance company and hopefully they will approve the request soon. This is quite an expensive vaccine, but it would protect Jake from getting RSV and hopefully continue to keep him healthy and hold off his surgery. The picture here makes me smile--Jake now loves cups of any kind so I got him his first sippy cup. He's not really sure about how to use it, but loves playing with it and last night proceeded to dump water all over himself. I love that everyday he learns something new...he is so fun!
