Next Surgery

Simon will have his next surgery on Monday, July 16th at Akron Children's.  The purpose is to dilate his esophagus.  This was scheduled before he left the NICU to come home and is one of the necessary things for Simon and his condition.

Simon will be 12 weeks old on Saturday!  He is in the 3rd % for weight at 9#5oz and for height 10th % at 23 inches.  He looks great though and the Dr. is not worried!  Molly's friend Athena had a baby at about the same time that Simon was born, they look comparable in size!  I think Simon will be just fine with his little peers in no time.  He looks amazingly healthy!

So keep Baby Simon in your thoughts and prayers over the weekend!  Molly and Clint are getting their time in now for being full time mommy and daddy minus all those nurses and machines!  So far so good!

If you visit, please be extra healthy and no kiddos around Simon yet.  He has to be germ free for all his surgeries and he still has wounds, etc. from all he went through.  Molly will hand you purell, so be prepared! :)

Thanks for all the support of the August 10th fundraiser for Baby Simon!  We are so excited to have this event to help out for the care he has received and will continue to need.  Hope you can join us!

I am leaving for vacation so I hope I can find wireless to update on the surgery Monday!  It will be good news, I just know it!

Here are some pictures from my visit with Simon..

 I waited almost 3 months to hold him!  It was hard to leave him!

 Can you say EYE CONTACT?  That boy is a looker!  Wow, what a little guy!

 Look how little he is! :)  Such a good baby.
