Great Update

Sorry for the radio silence folks but we have just been enjoying our time with our kids spared from hospital visits etc. Jake is doing great. He sleeps through the night without issue and I am starting to think the poor kid just wanted to be left alone versus having surgeries all the time. Now that he finally had more than a few months of uninterrupted healing and good times, he has been great. Jake is developing nicely and is taking 4 steps at a time. I am sure he will join Luke soon and become the running terror. Yesterday we had an appt with the geneticist who was the first dr. to inform us of Jake's condition and all of the issues we should expect. A true man of medicine his conversations usually skew negative tied to medical fact. Well he couldn't believe how jake has progressed and attributed any delays Jake would have if any to more a result from being premature than his apert syndrome. He felt Jake really would be able to take care of himself and would fall into normal intelligence levels. It was great to hear and Jake smiled at him the whole time like he knew the news was good. That's about all for now as we await our lil girl no later than Nov. 7th. Back to our life of managed chaos. Be good.
