Cody is a blessing, not an inconvenience. This morning we took Cody with us ( with out a nurse) to burnt toast and to walmart.
he did great, at the resturant he had a spoon and was putting it in his mouth and i dipped it in tea and he loved it.
At walmart he had a blast in the shopping cart, Mikala pushed him. then we let him walk holding hands,
he just smiled at everyone and looked around. We let him walk around the toy department also.. It was cute..
once we got home he played for a little while, then off to sleep he went.. so worn out,
our dog nala has been having problems with hers eyes for the past month, We have had her to the vet 2 times, she has 2 different eye drops we have to put in her eyes 2 times a day.
her eyes are not getting better, and now she is walking into things.. We have this feeling she might be going blind.
We and the vet, have no idea what has made her eyes so dry, plus she gets thick gunk that covers her eyes, so we are always cleaning hers eyes. this afternoon after we got home nala stepped on Daisy. So we think its best Nala and Daisy are not both out at the same time. So daisy don’t get hurt.
We are praying Nala’s eyes get better.

Cody’s clinic went great today, hes now off the vent 3 hours in the am and 3 hours in the PM. They say by the end off the summer he should be off the vent all together!!! They take it slow during the winter months. His pulmonary has improved a great deal. They say he’s a very strong little boy, and just doing great with weight gain …. 2010 is a great year!!!!
Once he’s been off the vent for 3 months, he would then have to stay @ children’s for 48 hours or more. With a patch
Over the trach stoma. ( trach out) to see how he does just using his nose and mouth..
Then if all goes good……BYE< BYE TRACH!!!!
What a great year!!!!!!
Love, Beverly
Some other news is the Respiratory department and other doctors are wanting to get a couple kids video’s of there
Long journey from the N.I.C.U- or peds. Though toddler hood or older, To send to D.C. To show that the kids do much better
Getting care @ home with family’s, plus home nursing. Then just being in a bed at the hospital.
Of course there is more to this. That’s just part of it.. Unless the kids are to sick..
Cody has come such a long way since he’s been home. This would of never happened if he was placed in a nursing home for kids, or stayed in the hospital. The good news is they want to use Cody also… They are going to use his web-site, his home movies and info
About him..
One video I did the other dayy
This is just awesome!!!! I loved the idea since now the top people in Washington will now also learn about CDH..
Wooo-hooooo
I’ll keep you all updated
Love, Beverly

Cody’s Echo he had last week is showing his Pulmonary hypertension has got better. wooHoo!!
yesterday when we heard the news, we were so HAPPY! So come 1-2010 when he has Pulmonary clinic, and hes gaining weight.. i have a awesome feeling he’ll be off the vent a lot more. 4 hours a day right now is hard, since he’s a toddler, ( HE gets so mad when put back on the vent) i know he could be off all day!!! i hope soon, they just need to give the o_kay
HIS heart is not shunting! something about the muscles around the lungs stronger.. and better everything.. i can’t to this day understand what it all means, BUT i hear the PUL. has inproved a lot!! i understand. LOL
