Eli is doing really well. He wieghs 11 Ilbs and is 23 inches long. Big boy! Everything is looking pretty good. The second surgery--the Glenn Shunt--is still going to be around 5 months old (give or take a month). Our next appointment will be July 17th. And if I thought today was long, it will be nothing compared to this next one. We will not be allowed to let him eat anything for 4 hours before hand, and I am sure that will be fun. They will then sedate him for an intensive heart echo (fancy word for an ultrasound of the heart). So that is what is ahead for us. We were told that he may need to go back on oxygen a month before the next surgery, but no biggy--right?
We are so grateful for everyone's prayers. Oh! And so grateful to Ashley and Dave (my sis and her husband). They totally stepped up today, and watched Isaac for us here in Rexburg while we were on our crazy Salt Lake City trip. Thanks guys!

I'm so glad it went well. He will make it through the echo okay, especially in such good hands. We can babysit if you need a night out- I'M SERIOUS! Ashley and Dave are awesome!
