Surgery is postponed

We have had to postpone Eli's surgery because of his respiratory problems.  He is using a nebulizer every four hours along with a steroid twice a day for his wheezing.  Hopefully we can reschedule in a few more weeks.  Otherwise things are going very well.  Eli can now get to a sitting, almost standing position from his back and tummy.  He is walking pretty well while holding one hand and has learned quite a few signs to let us know what he wants.  He also loves his babysitter Susanne who he gets to see two and a half days a week.  I was kind of disappointed with how easy the transition was for him once I went back to work!  We'll post the new surgery date as soon as we hear anything.

Kim, thanks for the update on Eli's surgery. I enjoyed the pix of your beautiful family. Eli is such a lucky boy to have become part of a family that can meet his emotional, social, physical and medical needs. I'll be praying all goes well. Wendy
