See Ya Later Alligator



I had a Dr. Crow appt today. Dr. Crow is a pediatric surgeon at Children's for those of you who can't keep up with my people. Since leaving the NICU two years ago this May, I have gone for monthly bloodwork and monthly appts to see Dr. Crow. At this appt, I weighed in at an amazing 18 lbs 3 oz. I have flirted with the 18lb mark before, but I have never surpassed it. Dr. Crow said that the bloodwork looks great (It tells him if my body is absorbing the nutrients and working properly.) He said he was impressed and that he was confident that I am A-OK....and that there is no more bloodwork! No more monthly bloodwork! He also said to not come back until July! So, in honor of Dr. Crow.....see ya later alligator. We won't miss our monthly visits. I am posting this picture to show you how much I have grown. No commenting on my non-coordinating outfit.....I came home from school looking like this.

Happy Jelly Beans and Easter Eggs


Happy Easter Everyone! Although I'm not up to enjoying the ritual of eating chocolate bunnies and such, I still had a good time enjoying some of Mom's mashed potatoes and Grandma Lyla's upside down pineapple cake. This picture is from my first Easter. Nurse Kathy bought (I mean, the Easter Bunny) the bunny for me.

In a little over one month, the annual CF walk will take place. Timmy's Team raised over $1700 last year during the Great Strides Walk. This must be our magic number because Mom's school raised the same amount for Akron Children's Hospital this year. Invites and info sheets are out in the mail this week. Many of you read this blog and we never hear from you....so if you don't receive a personal invite from Mom or Dad, consider this your invitation. Click on the top right corner of this blog and it will take you to the Great Strides Site. Here you can register to walk or make an online donation. I am not allowed to attend because CF patients are not allowed to "hang out" together, but supporting Mom and Dad would be great!
