To those affected by a heart defect:

Haven’s First Lunch

December 12, 2006 at 1:43 pm by Grandpa pa J

Mid day news break…
I just talked with Jeremey. All are well at the frontline. Doctors want Alison to start breast feeding Haven. All the vital stats are good on Alison, Haven as well as Jeremey.:)

Mom and Dad are able to spend more time with the baby then originally planned.
If all goes well the team of specialist are considering surgery the beginning to the middle of next week.

I would like to mention that though all things are going better then anticipated Haven is no ways near being out of the woods. Her situation has not changed and she will be going through the planned open heart surgeries and adjustments to life as so very few children have. Haven, Alison and Jeremey will continue to need all of our support as family and friends.

With all that being said, those of you who are itching to send that special card, bouquet of flowers, gifts or cookies(hint), I will have an address for you by tomorrow morning. Jeremey and Alison will be assigned a room at the McDonald house in Indy. Alison will remain at I.U. Med. Center for the next couple of days.

Look for another update this evening. See you then.

Grandpa pa J.
