Dr. Orie appointment

We had Drew's cardiologist appointment the other night. He was to say the least very naughty! Poor Dr. Orie, he tried very hard to get a temperature, weight, height and pulse ox from Drew. It was a challenge. Then it was time for the echo. He was not good for that either. Dr. Orie told us that for doing the echo on a moving target it looked good! His function remains the same, no leaky valves or blockages. All in all he is doing well. His pulse ox was even 80. That is actually very good for Drew. Dr. Orie anticipates that drew's next surgery, the fontan will be in a year and a half to two years. Fingers crossed that we are able to go that long.

Snack time


Drew did not want to leave school when it was time for dismissal, so I asked him if he wanted to go and eat lunch, he said " sure" then sat down at the classroom's table!
His Teacher, Mrs. Colleen said he really enjoys snack time. I am not surprised.

School


Drew Loves school. This picture is from the first day of school. He now goes 2 days a week and learns how to play with other children as well as listen and follow directions! I did expect him to at least want to give me a kiss goodbye, but no, he could not have pushed me out of the door fast enough.

The writing on the wall


Drew found his favorite activity at the Crayola Crayon Factory, writing on the glass wall with markers! You can see how much he loved it, it is all over his shirt. Yes the new shirt and shorts we had to put on him since he went "swimming" in the last clean outfit! He really enjoyed the crayon factory.

The Swimmer


We decided to take a pit stop on our way home from Ocean City and we stopped in Easton PA. We really wanted to take the boys to the Crayola Crayon Factory. We were all clean and just about ready to leave the hotel room when we heard Drew say " thwim" (aka. swim) and we ran into the bathroom to see what he was talking about. Drew decided he wanted to swim in the draining bath water, clothed and all. He really keeps us on our toes!

It's 5:00 Somewhere


Well Drew and Will had to wear their beach shirts while we were on vacation. Drew was very happy with his dinner, a hotdog and french fries. He was actually well behaved during this meal. I think the salt water and beach air might have affected him for the better during this meal!

Beach Bum


Here he is being a ham for the camera and just hanging out on the beach. We went to Ocean City, Maryland.
