We talked to the cardiologist, and he substituted Enalapril for the Captopril. Hopefully this one will have the same positive effect (reducing leakage of his heart valve) without the nasty side effects of reflux and cough. We just started it yesterday, and so far everything looks alright.
Also, Athan was lying on his side on one of his play mats today, and he was really investigating the patterns he could see on the mat. He was reaching for some white dots on a black background, which shows much improvement in his arm movement and hand-eye coordination. Then, over the next 30 min. or so, he kept scooting to see new parts of the play mat, and managed to move his body about 270 degrees around in a circle, rotating on his hip. Yeah! :)
Our sweet Auntie B sent Athan a Bumbo, which will be a big help in our physical therapy. It will help us stabilize his torso so that he can focus on learning to control his head and keep it centered. Thanks Aunt Berniece!
And thanks to all for the encouraging comments (on blog and in person),cards, e-mails, and phone calls. As sleep deprivation has really taken a toll on my energy lately, and it helps so much to hear from you in the midst of a tough stretch of sleeplessness or fatigue. Blessings to you for having compassion with stamina! :)

I'm glad Athan and Morgan are doing well with their respective poops.
BUMBOs are awesome. We just got one for Luke to help with his head control and it is working fairly well. Although, he still looks like a bobble-head at times. We need to get our kiddos together sometime to play. We are still up eating ever couple of hours...I think Luke takes after his uncle - SMILE.
Your in our prayers and thoughts daily.
