Jerron's Year Check-up

.So we finally had Jerron's one year check, now that he is 13 months. His ears are fine and as far as development in every area he is above average or right on track. I was especially happy to hear that he is no longer in the 10% for height. At 29" and 23 pounds he is right on track.
The only concern the Dr had is with a heart murmur. He noticed it last check up but thought it would heal. It has not improved, but it may not be a big deal. When I was 18 I had a physical and I was told I had a heart murmur, but it was nothing to be concerned about, we are hoping Jerron is the same way. To be safe the Dr has ordered a cheat x ray and an ekg. We will be having that done this week at the hospital. Times like these I am very grateful for insurance!
I didn't think too much of it at first. But the longer I have to think about it the more concerned I become. I have faith that it won't be a big deal, mostly because he is developing really well, he isn't behind in any area. But to be on the safe side I am making friends and family to pray or meditate or just put out good vibes towards our sweet boy.
While you are at it if you could do the same for my 14 year old nephew that would be great. When he was 6 months old my sister gave part of her liver to him and he has been doing so well! This week he has been sick and they have taken him off his anti rejection medicine. My sister feels assured that he will be just fine, but good thoughts and prayers never hurt.
Times like these I am so grateful for family, friends, technology, God and science. It is amazing to me the things we are able to cure or treat today that we could not do just a decade ago.

It Won't Be Like This For Long

So Jerron woke up talking and laughing, that is when you can tell he is feeling all better. 2 weeks ago I had this dream that Jerron had an ear infection that was growing corn out of his ear. It was disturbing. When I woke up I realized he had been whining lately and I knew there was something to the dream, we saw the Dr later that day and indeed he did have an infection. Funny how the mind works that this is how it became a conscious thought.
2 weeks later I am so glad to have my little angel back. He is running around the house snuggling the animals, laughing, dancing and chatting.
Josh is in the process of following his dream to do massage as a career. He is very excited and it seems things are just coming together. Today I realized Jerron was being quiet, and I knew what he was doing. I go in the kitchen to find him experimenting with possible business ideas for his dad. If josh decides to do a spa Jerron will be in charge of giving Dog Water Pedicures. This may be an up and coming treatment so sign up early.
He gave himself a treatment with his footy pajamas still on we headed to the tub. I turned on the ipod and danced with Jerron to the song It Won't Be Like This Forever. It has been a long time since I heard that song but it really helped me to appreciate the humor in the situation even more. It blows me away that Jerron is now 13 months old. It is pretty easy to enjoy every moment with this little guy, he has such a personality.
This year I am going to be better at keeping a journal and recording Jerron. He enjoys watching himself on the tv, as I was transferring some tapes he just watched himself as a baby.
Life is beyond good. If I was given the choice to change something in my life I am not quite sure what that would be. We have so much to be grateful for and to look forward to.
I adore the men in my life!
