Wednesday, March 22nd, 2006We received a call from Caden’s cardiologist at about 6:15PM this evening. It was great that Sherry and I were both at home so that we could talk to him together. Here is the scoop from Caden’s cardiologist. The heart surgeon wants more information before proceeding with an open-heart surgery. The surgeon wants more accurate […]
Today I am sharing with you a great video clip of Caden making his way across the living room floor. This video was taken on Saturday afternoon. The video clearly shows how mobile Caden has become in recent weeks. You may remember that it was just ten days ago that I actually got to witness […]
The test (CT Angiogram) that Caden had done last Wednesday delivered no new information.

Caden will be sedated for this procedure. This procedure also requires that an IV be inserted. Caden did experience some mild breathing problems on […]
The shortest version of this story is told in the title of this posting. We finally got Caden in for his sedated echo cardiogram today and ended up with alarming results. Caden is being scheduled for open-heart surgery within the next several (3-5) weeks. The cardiologist identified a problem that they want to get repaired […]
Today was great for Caden and our family. Caden had an orthopedic appointment at MUSC that turned out great and he had another couple of firsts today with his development. The orthopedic appointment was scheduled as a result of a spine x-ray taken a few weeks ago that showed signs of scoliosis. The x-ray was […]
Praise God! Caden spoke for the first time today. The file below is a 22 second file that I captured with my iRiver MP3 player/recorder. You can hear Caden say “Mama” a couple of times and them you will hear Riley trying to get him to say “Dada”. Sherry, Riley and I are all entertained […]
