My Little Trooper!!

As some of you may know, when John was born they detected a congenital heart defect known as Valvar Pulmonic Stenosis and WPW. He gets extremely rapid heartbeats. We saw his cardiologist in the beginning of September and they ran an EKG as well as a sonogram to determine whether or not his condition had improved. Based on their findings, they scheduled John to come back for a stress test. He was so excited that he was going to be walking/running on the treadmill at the doctors office. Based on the results from the appointment yesterday, the doctor is still a bit concerned that the WPW is still causing John some problems. We are now scheduled to see a specialist next Friday. John wanted me to take pictures of him yesterday as Dr. Schiff referred to him as "The Purple Power Ranger!!" He was such a trooper and we are very proud of him! Please keep us in your prayers and will keep you updated once we see the doctor next week. We are going to Children's Hospital at Montefiore in the Bronx.

A Place to call Home....

Well, it's been a long road, but I am finally in my new 'home'...here are a few pictures. I still have some painting to do and some wallpaper to take down, especially in the kitchen, but for the most part, I have made it my own. Thanks to all my family for their help, I could not have done it without you!!

Never Forget....

I was driving to work this morning listening to all the radio stations that were playing tributes to all the Americans who were killed 7 years ago today on 9/11. Tears came to my eyes when they started to play "America the Beautiful" and I thought about how lucky I am to be alive. I then started to think about what this world will be like when my boys are grown and have families of their own. It is sad to think about all the families that are remembering the ones they lost but will never be forgotten. All of the policemen and firemen who gave their lives....our world was to never be the same. I just felt the need to write something, anything about this very sad day. We should never, ever forget 9/11 and how quickly life can change.
