Hooray! They were able to set up an appointment with Peds Pulmonary at Johns Hopkins for next week too! But, it is on Wednesday at 2:30...so we will be driving down on Monday and not coming back until late on Wednesday night. But, I am so relieved to be seeing the neurosurgery and the pulmonary specialists who know about achons specifically. I so hope to be reassured that things are ok. Max is so much more alert and awake now and he is absolutely BEAUTIFUL!! What a blessing he is :-) Aiden and Emmi adore him.

Emmi has been so adorable the past several days. She has been a real mommy's helper. We say that we are in the "Girls Club" and we even have our own handshake (very silly handshake). She loves to just hang out and shop. Max is an honorary member of the "girls club" because he needs mommy to eat...she loves that he gets to come along everywhere.

Aiden is rounding out his first full week of first grade and he comes home each day with a smile on his face. So far he is really enjoying it. Thank goodness!! He is so smart. I am amazed everyday at how much he knows and how far he has come on his reading. He LOVES math and is really quite good at it.

Things here are starting to get into a routine. I have actually COOKED dinner this week...this is so unlike me!! hahahaha! And the kids have been getting to bed at a reasonable time (except Max of course...but he did sleep for a 5 1/2 hour stretch last night! yeah Max!!). Hopefully things go well at Johns Hopkins next week and we at least come home knowing if there are any issues and what we need to do next. (Praying for no issues and nothing major to do next--would love any additional prayers for this too!!)

Will keep posting pictures and updates soon!!
