Happy Heart Day

A little Valentine greeting from our moustachioed boys...

We enjoyed a lovely red dinner with Clay's family in Abilene

on Valentine's Day. So fun!

(Please excuse the warped faces - it was hard not to move while we took a panoramic pic on the iPhone.)

Heart Day also seems an appropriate time

for an update on Max's heart. :)

We went for a checkup with his cardiologist in December

where they did x-rays, an echo and EKG.

Max's sternum was almost completely fused back together

and his incision was healing really nicely.

The doctor did notice a small flap of tissue

right above where the membrane was removed.

He said it is very possible that the tissue in Max's heart

is just settling after the operation -

and it's also very possible that the surgeon

wasn't able to remove all of the membrane.

We will go back in June to check things again.

So for now, we will celebrate the healing of Max's heart

and all the love in our lives!

xoxo
