DS Pic-nic and Cardio Appt.

This past Saturday, the Down Syndrome Association in our area hosted a picnic. So of course we went! It was a great experience. We were greated right away, plastered with name tags and introduced to many families. There was a parc, pool, fishing pond, tatoo's, face painting, raffle table, live entertainment and gifts for the kids. Oh and a free BBQ to boot! We all had a blast and made some new friends. We will definately be going again next year!

Nathan had his appt with his cardiologist today. All went well. Can you believe he weighs 10 lbs already! He was wide awake for this appointment, and enthrawelled the new doctor and med student with his cuteness. So far the game plan is still the same to have surgery between 4-6 months. They don't want to do surgery prior to 4 months since then the heart can be trickier to work with. So Nathan is doing well on his own so farr and does not need any medication yet. The next visit will be in 6 weeks, and then he will have a echocardiogram as well. (that is an ultrasound of the heart)

Kristopher had a field trip today, to a pool in nepean. His class was suppose to go to Mt. Cascades but that got quickly switched due to the weather. Brian took the day off and went with him. They had a blast and came home happy. Mykaela is looking forward to her birthday tomorrow and is very anxious for the arrival of Gramma and presents. And that is all for now, I am off to spend some time with my hubby!
