So much stuff.......

Braden has had his glasses for a while now and is doing pretty well with them. He will wear them about 3 to 4 hours and then when it is time to sleep they come off. We are very proud of him he is such a big boy. We went to the cardiology on Friday July 28th, and got great news. Dr. Clapp said that she "NEVER" wants to see Braden again. "never" I say as I look at her in a uncertain way and she looked right at me and said "Braden is doing amazing, I never want to see him again." I heard that all day in my head word for work and trying it now I am just smiling. To hear that we are slowly getting out of the woods makes us feel so good.

Braden weighed in at 22.5 pounds and 30 and half inches long at her office. She said that most babies born at 24 weeks that survive that she sees have serious problems and have to have very special care, and she was surprised to see how well Braden was. Of course while she is bragging on the boy, he is walking around the room with just a pamper on and yelling "blah blah blah!" It was very good to get a good report. Of course if any of Braden's Doctor's have any heart concerns we will go back and see her but for now we are checking her off the list of Doctor's to see every year. YEAH BRADEN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


That same day we took Braden to Baylor to see some of his nurses, they were so surprised to see him. One of his Doctor's from the NICU was there and could not believe that was Braden. They all came to see him walk and just stare at what once was a maybe and then turned out to be a YES he will make it. As we were getting ready to leave the Doctor looked at us and said "you all have done a great job with him" I quickly said "NO you all did it we just took over." I wanted to cry. We will forever be thankful to the whole staff at Baylor.

The next day we went to a parade where my sister and her family were in for the Family of Year for Denton County and had a great time. Grandma Shirley and Pawpaw Gary were in the parade as well and Braden was happy to see them too. We got some great pictures that we will post as soon as we can get them all together.

We are all doing great other then that. We are working and just making each day count. Steve and I are planning on getting out of the house for a date night on Saturday, Aunt Clara will stay to watch Braden. We hope we can make it out it has been a while since we have gotten dressed up and out of the house alone.

Just wanted to say to the Miller Family in Frisco we are thinking about you and Sweet baby Audrey you keep on fighting prove those doctor's wrong it will make your parents happy to hear them say WOW she looks great.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO GRANDMA LYNDA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! We will be seeing her for dinner tonight.

Thanks for checking in on us. Pictures soon!!!!
