Blood Pressure Good!

Today was check up day and Opa Bos took Momma Hannie and Gerad in to see the Pediatric Cardiologist since it was quite the winter weather. Gerad's blood pressure was perfectly normal, but they still wanted to do a blood test. They had a very hard time drawing blood from his veins so they had to take it out drop by drop from his heal. Poor Gerad! One day he was sitting quite contently in his chair when he started to bring forth sounds from his diaper, not once, not twice, but lots of times. Momma Hannie suspected a big mess, but not quite this big!

Ahh, the joys of motherhood...!

More pictures to enjoy!

:: This week Hannie had just told the doctor that he doesn't really like his soother, but she put it in his mouth anyways since they were checking his blood pressure (goes very tight) and he took it so nicely. He likes to surprise his mommy like that! ::

:: sleep, sweet boy ::

Come one, come all!

:: These pictures are here to provoke everyone to come to Ontario and see this adorable little boy for themselves! Who first? ::

Pictures of our Little Man!

Hello Everyone!

Today Gerad went for his check up and he now weighs 12.11 lb!!! And measuring a tall 60.8cm! Everything with his heart is good although his blood pressure was measuring high, so he gets blood work done next week to see what is causing it. High blood pressure and his treasured heart may not be a good mix!

He loves playing in his play pen with all his bright colored toys. The train quilt he is laying on is made by an elderly lady from the nursing home where Hannie used to work.

Pray that his blood pressure goes down.

And we know that all things work together for good

to them that

love God.

Check Up Next Week!

Today was the day Gerad needed to be in Toronto for an echo and a check-up. But, yesterday they called, and if Marvin and Hannie were comfortable with not coming they could wait till next week and then just go for the check up in London! So, that is what they are doing!

It's an 'all-over' good sign, and I am thankful!

Here is Daddy Marvin with a fussy little Gerad when he was still being tube-fed. After an exhausting night, this is how Momma Hannie found then in the morning.

Growing...

Sleeping,

but well aware we were taking a picture of him!

Next week Marv and Hannie will be taking him to Toronto again for further testing. He is growing and getting more and more into a routine; falling asleep easier and being more content. When a photographer came this week to take his picture, he didn't smile his big broad smile until the photogragher was out the door!

Somehow I am not surprised...

He is just very smart!
