Just thinking of him right now puts a smile on my face!Jennyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04289419923089903376noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5229708613675028752.post-89263036998068591342009-09-29T14:21:54.248-06:002009-09-29T14:21:54.248-06:00That is WONDERFUL news.

But we did a lot of experimentation this summer in the hospital and discovered that his thumb gives out the best readings. McKay will huff- but believe me, he will stop some day. He'll learn his limits, but also feel better enough to push them. <br /><br />I'm so glad you didn't go home on oxygen. As one of those mom's that had a walking toddler on O2, yes it is annoying, but I was also surprised at how great Jack was about it. He'd leave it on and step over it, he'd pull his tank around if he needed to. But the worst part was not having long enough tubing to allow him to run all over the house- which is what he wanted.<br /><br />Good JOB McKAY!!

Well, I only know Matt from what you've told me, but I KNOW he has an incredible mom! <br />My friend is running the marathon this weekend too, so hopefully we will see you down there.

It's funny how we all feel the same about our special sweethearts...so much gratitude even with all of the challenges and uncertainty that comes with it. I guess that's why it's so sweet. <br /><br />And Maddie's sats are the same as McKays...she's a mid-70's girl. No O's here either since her echo looks great as well. I think it's just her...she's always been a very low satter! I hate the mystery of it but she's doing well so that's what we go on and try not to borrow too much trouble with it. <br /><br />Happy to hear his appointment went well and that's he's doing fantastic!

Thanks for helping me feel more comfortable with the H1N1 vac. Paul's story is so amazing and gives me so much hope! I am also thankful for my day to day trials with my sweet-HEART, it sure beats the alternative. Hope we can try for lunch again real soon, let me know...<br />HEART HUGSThe INCREDIBLE Pettit'shttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13834229139735892721noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5229708613675028752.post-80446386378940618132009-09-28T10:31:47.617-06:002009-09-28T10:31:47.617-06:00You are amazing.

That is Grant's regimine and it helps him sleep better so that his energy during the day is higher. Thank heavens for being tube free for now! I am glad to hear that you guys are getting the swine flu vaccination...there has been such a debate on the IHH board and we were planning on it, but I have been hearing mixed things from other's cardiology reports. Let us know how it goes for him ok?Allisonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10039717173641157974noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5229708613675028752.post-73714639077486243422009-09-27T17:17:07.473-06:002009-09-27T17:17:07.473-06:00Beautiful.

I watch Owen tire and often think of how he will thrive once a functioning heart is transplanted. We think of Mckay often.
