We Are Thankful

As we head into the holidays, we are certainly thankful for our many blessings.

Dustin is of course a joy and Zach is doing well also.

Although he sometimes comes home with frowns on his daily summary for "timeouts" - Zach is doing well at school with his reading (he can already read some books all by himself) and math (we do math at night using M&Ms) and he has been enjoying soccer (also just finished karate and pottery).

While we monitor things and plan ahead with Dustin, he is doing great:

Weighs 9lbs 12oz

Because he was spitting up alot for a while we thought he may have reflux but he has been doing better with this.

A state provided physical therapist comes once a month to check in on his development and to help us plan ahead.

DJ also had his first appointment (nearly all day) at the Down Syndrome Clinic at Duke; everything here went well. We were concerned over some blood tests because we thought he might have anemia but he does not - he is however taking - iron and vitamin D supplements.

We are looking forward to Thanksgiving.

Blessings to you and yours.
