Updates

I wanted to give a quick update on our little heart buddy Quinn. He was relisted for a heart but that is now on hold. The biggest challenges have been getting him to adjust to food and getting him to gain some weight along with daily physio. I know Kim and Ben have their hands full and yet their reports are filled with wonderful stories about both Hannah and Quinn and the cute things they do. Quinn is, like Bronwyn, a wonderfully happy baby. I think Kim and I have both been blessed in this regard - I heard several times at the hospital that the heart babies tend to be cranky and miserable. Well - not our kiddos!

The other bit of news is about Steve and Shannon's nephew Braden Mole. He is an amazing teen who has been a patient at the Stollery off and on for years. He decided several years ago that he wanted to help even if it was in a small way. Well that small way seems to have caught fire and he does an annual fundraiser that this year pulled in over $150,000. Braden is also the spokesperson for the Stollery hospital for 2007. He is a great example of what can go right with our kids.

I haven't visited your blog for quite a while, but we recently got high speed instead of dial up and it is so much faster to see pictures. I'm glad to see your kids growing up.
