Lounging instead of walking. We should have called it the Heart Lounge 2008!
Missy, Dennis and Alex (and baby in belly) drove up all the way from Iowa to be with us yesterday for the walk. Thank you guys so much! You're such wonderful friends.
Getting ready to go to Grandma's house for a visit
Because of the crazy weather yesterday (WHAT MONTH IS THIS?!) we did not participate in the walk. Instead, we had people over to our house for yummy pizza! It worked out well because everyone got a chance to see Elijah in a warm environment. I was bummed about not doing the walk, but at least we managed to raise a lot of money for a good cause. We have some Medium and Large t-shirts left and they look AWESOME! Grant did an amazing job and worked hard on them. If you would like one, let me know and I can get it in the mail to you!
Elijah has been sleeping great at night, but he hasn't been napping well. After about 30 minutes into the nap, I think he realizes that Mommy and Daddy aren't around because I can hear him screaming, "MAMAmamama BABAbababa." Stupid hospital!
Otherwise, he's doing very well! You'd never know in a million years that he had major surgery less than two weeks ago. He's our amazing kid.
Last night my sister came over and watched Elijah while we went out for some much-needed adult time. It was sooo nice! Thank you, Lissa!
We're all going to try to take a nap right now. Tomorrow I'm heading back to work (booooo!) and we also have an appointment with Dr. Gremmels at 10:00. Thanks for checking in and thanks so much to everyone who helped out with the non-Walk and who came over to spend some time with Elijah. It meant so much to us!

Good luck with going back to work... arghh thats hard enough at the best of times... I hope Dr Gremmels app goes well.
Bummer about not getting out for the walk but awesome that you all managed to catch up for Pizza... Eli would have loved all the visitors!
He looks so good, honey and I'm so glad you guys got out for a little down time with each other and hopefully a beverage. I finally got something in the mail yesterday...should arrive this week. So glad you guys have the a rockin support network that you do. xo.
He looks fantastic! I am sorry that you were not able to actually do the walk, but you did do what you set out to do and that was a) raise awareness and b) raise lots of money! Way to go! Plus, as an added bonus, you did not have to worry about your precious little one getting sick from that crazy MN weather!!! I remember it doing that to us a few times while living there...that snow just does not like to stay away!!!
Sorry you have to get back to work tomorrow...your sweet boy will be back to his old self really soon and he won't be so scared all the time...he has been through a whole lot! (so have you)
Lots of love and I will look for the update from Dr. G tomorrow!!!
Love ya!

Emelio and I had a lot of fun! You had some seriously tasty pizza and I totally enjoyed nibbling on the juicy baby!! xoxoxo Auntie Lissa
SNOW...are you serious?!?! Now I see why Kathy wanted to take those pictures for you. I hope it warms up. That just stinks that you couldn't do the walk. Those shirts are adorable! I'm glad you still got to enjoy family and friends.
Take Care,
Vanessa
Sounds like something that would happen here in Syracuse-we have been known to have snow in late April! That stinks about the walk but, at least you still got to hang out with friends and family to celebrate Elijah. Good luck going back to work. I know how hard that is!!
