An Eli Heart Update


We went to Primary Children's Medical Center last Friday, and this is what we learned:
1. Eli weighs 12 lbs 3 oz, and is almost 23 inches long
2. He is looking healthy, and his heart is doing well
3. With room air his oxygen saturation is 78% (average healthy person between 90 and 99%)
4. We have no date yet, but the second surgery will probably be at the end of August

Now for some fun!



Can you guess who is who? 
These are pictures of Isaac and Eli at age 3 months. Isaac was 3 months old Dec of 2006 and Eli turned 3 months old earlier this month.










Did you get it right? 
Isaac is the first picture, while Eli is the second. 
I was surprised at their similarities, for I did not think that they looked that much a like. 
This was fun to do, and just reminds me how fast they grow and change.

Wow, they do look similar. I'm positive though that Eli is the first picture of the two black and white ones, right? Hope you're doing well without your hubby! I'll stop by later!

Lindsey and Isaac said...

They do look alot alike! I think it is neat to have such a family resemblance. Glad things are going well.

Yes! I got it right! They do look crazy similar though! Isaac looked so different when he was a baby!

Yeah, it was really fun doing this! No, sorry Michelle, but the first black/white one is Isaac.
I think the major differences between the two are the noses, chin, shape for the head, and of course hair color.
And it is crazy how much Isaac has changed since then. I wonder what Eli will look like...

Tyson is in the background of the first photo and he said 'I don't remember taking that picture with Eli' Isn't that hilarious. He couldn't believe it was Isaac

Hey Shannon. Your little boys are so cute. I can't believe you have to go through surgeries for your baby... you are amazing. I wish you the best, and I am glad you posted a comment so I remembered to add you to my list. (Beatles are fun... and I have a Jane Austen movie to watch this next week)
