Wow!! Cannon has accomplished a couple of BIG milestones in the past couple of weeks. He learned to ride his bike without his training wheels!!!! YEA!! He LOVES riding his bike now. Even on days when we get home and it is too dark to ride, he wants to just go hug his bike. I think he has his daddy's love of riding bikes. Today he lost his first tooth. He was very excited about finally losing it. Now mommy and daddy have to be sure not to forget to become fairies this evening. :)
Since our last post we have been scheduled and rescheduled for the heart catheter. :) We have already experienced the joys of being moved around on the schedules. We were intially scheduled for 9 am today (4/18/12) but they called on Tuesday and rescheduled it to Friday (4/20/12) morning. Thankfully the appointment is earlier in the morning so the idea of keeping food and drinks from Cannon won't be such a daunting task. We will arrive at TCH at 7am for check in and hope to be discharged in the afternoon.
Marc and I talked to Cannon on Saturday to explain the procedure and what he could expect. He took the news fairly well. His only concern was "but I'm not sick and only sick people have to go to the hospital". We were able to explain a little better letting him know that he wasn't "sick" but that the doctors could make his "special" heart work a lot better. In making the his heart work better, he could possibly be allowed to play sports and not remain so exhausted when running and playing. We told him that the doctors need to run some tests on him so they will be able to decide what they can do to makes his heart work better. He knows that they will give him some "sleeping" medicine and he is okay with that. He got to go to the store to buy some new movies that he will get to take with him to watch after the procedure is completed, while we wait. He is taking it so well that I was a little disappointed to have to tell him yesterday that the big day was rescheduled, but he took that well too. He's such a brave and bright little man!
We know God has great plans for Cannon and his future. It is so awesome to watch so closely God's miracles happen right before our eyes.
Thank you all for your continued prayers! We will keep the blog updated.
Many Blessings,
The Kings
Cannon looks so cute with his first tooth missing and so grown up riding his bike without training wheels! God is so protective of his sheep it's neat to see him protect Cannon and you all through all this news on procedures & changes in procedures. You're doing beautifully with it all! Love y'all!
