You can click on the picture below to see some more photos taken during our Friday afternoon family fun day. I took the afternoon off and surprised Sherry and the boys with a boat tour of the Charleston Harbor. 
We then went out for ice cream.
I would love to get your feedback on how these pictures are displayed in this post verses previous posts. I am trying to find the best way to display photos in my blogs. Please leave a comment on this blog post or email me with your feedback. I also performed a major behind the scenes upgrade to this blog this weekend and would appreciate any feedback on problems you run notice.
Caden has been doing pretty good. Sherry did take him to the pediatrician this week after the massive amounts of secretions began to turn colors indicating a possible infection. The doctor did issue some antibiotics for what I believe is the eleventh time during this year’s cold and flu season. There have been some attempts to minimize the number of sinus infections, but the pediatrician has decided to refer Caden to an allergist for some assistance. The bad news is that we have one more appointment added to the list of more than a dozen reoccurring appointments already on the calendar. The good news out of this referral is that the allergist that Caden is seeing did some training under Dr. Markert at Duke. Dr. Markert is one of if not the best known doctor in the world when it comes to treating Di George patients requiring thymus transplants. Caden’s thymus was intact when he was born, but he was originally diagnosed with a mild to moderate immune difficiency. Caden’s immune system has continued to improve since birth without any invasive surgical procedures that are required with many young children diagnosed with Di George Syndrome (22q11.2).
All else is going well. Caden is learning to balance on one foot. This makes dressing him much easier. He went to go around Sherry earlier today and did a little side step. I believe that is the first time he has done this without prompting. The small things are what we learn to enjoy so much more these days.
Blessings to you and yours!
