Family update

Shiyan went back to the Cardiologist on Wednesday and everything still looks very good. She is not gaining weight yet but considering how active she has been this is no major concern yet. She is very active and in most ways just a normal two year old. She is constantly on the move playing and getting into things. I worry that she will be the child that swings from the ceilings.

The Cardiologist has decided to perform a heart catheterization on June 26th. Please keep her in your prayers throughout this process. They do not expect to do any repair work at this time just get some pressure readings from the smaller ventricle. They are prepared to do repairs if necessary. She will hopefully only be in the hospital overnight and back home the next morning.

Shiyan continues to learn new things daily. She is starting to talk a little and we feel like she is on the verge of really cutting loose. She is saying new words daily and is very responsive so seems to understand everything.

This past Friday we graduated our oldest Andrew from high school. A bigger day for Robin who has home schooled him most of these years. The home school group we belong to had 4 boys graduating and it was great.

We had family in for the graduation. Shiyan really took to my sister Nan and yesterday preferred her over Robin and I. My great niece was also here and is between the ages of our girls and the three of them had a great time. It was great having family in to share in the graduation.

Some new photos are on the photo bucket at http://s168.photobucket.com/albums/u183/factech1/? Look under May07 Update for latest photos.

Have a great week.

New Photos

There are three new photos on the right side of the site. We have had a great week. Shiyan and Laura are getting along so well. Yesterday we built a big wooden swing set for the girls, I will post photos of this on the side page. They love playing on it together.

Today was baby dedication at church and Shiyan was dedicated. After church we all took Robin out for lunch to celebrate mothers day.

This week we have graduation from high school for Andrew so another busy week.

Thats all for now.

Update May 8th

Not sure who is still reading the blog. Sorry we have not updated in a few weeks but life is busy.

Shiyan continues to do well. She continues to learn but is refusing to talk much. She points and grunts. She also hates going to bed at night and either will cry or gets up to play. Next week we go back to the cardiologist for a checkup.

Continue to pray for her to adjust and that her checkup goes well. I will try to post some new pictures in the next few days.

Have a blessed week.
