Anthony

For those of you following Anthony's story...here is an update from Ana.


WE HAVE HAD WONDERFULLY BUSY DAYS :) HENRY'S MOM CAME TO VISIT ANTHONY FROM HARLINGEN, TX. WE ENJOYED THE DAYS SHE SPENT HERE WITH US. IT WAS HARD TO SEE HER GO BACK, WE WISH SHE COULD STAY HERE IN CHICAGO :( IT WAS HENRY'S BIRTHDAY ON THE 5TH AND WE CELEBRATED WITH A NICE DINNER HERE AT HOME. IT WAS A WONDERFUL GIFT FOR HENRY TO HAVE ANTHONY HOME ON HIS BIRTHDAY AND TO SHARE IT WITH THE REST OF HIS FAMILY.

ANTHONY IS GETTING BIGGER EVERYDAY. HE WEIGHED 7LBS 8OZ EARLY LAST WEEK SO I'M CALCULATING HE SHOULD BE ABOUT 7LBS 14OZ NOW. HE IS GAINING ABOUT AN 1 OZ. A DAY ON AVERAGE.

ANTHONY'S NURSE SOULA, FROM THE NICU, CAME TO SEE ANTHONY ON VALENTINE'S DAY. I AM SO MAD A MYSELF FOR NOT TAKING ANY PICTURES. YOU SNOOZE YOU LOOSE, RIGHT? :( WELL, ANYWAY SHE BROUGHT ANTHONY A REALLY CUTE SOX SWEAT SUIT AND WE HAD SUCH A NICE TIME SHARING OUR GOOD AND NOT SO GOOD MEMORIES FROM THE NICU. WE ARE BLESSED TO HAVE MADE SUCH WONDERFUL FRIENDS DURING ANTHONY'S NICU DAYS.

WE WENT TO SEE THE EYE DOCTOR A WEEK FROM LAST FRIDAY AND WE HAVE GOOD NEWS. BOTH EYES HAVE MADE QUITE AN IMPROVEMENT. THE RIGHT EYE IS PERFECT AND THE FOLD IN THE LEFT EYE HAS GOTTEN MUCH BETTER, THE DOCTOR SAID IT HAS IMPROVED AND WILL MOST LIKELY CONTINUE TO GET BETTER WITH TIME. PRAISE AND THANK GOD!!! HE SAID THE VESSELS HAVE SEALED OFF AND ANTHONY WILL NOT NEED ANOTHER SURGERY :) ANTHONY HAS ANOTHER APPOINTMENT TOMORROW. THANK YOU FOR PRAYING FOR ANTHONY'S EYES.

ANTHONY HAS BEEN OFF THE OXYGEN FOR A WEEK NOW. WE ARE SO EXCITED!!! THE LAST TIME HE HAD IT DURING THE NIGHT, HE HAD THE PRONGS ON HIS FOREHEAD. SEE THE PHOTO GALLERY. HE SEES THE PULMONOLOGIST IN A COUPLE OF WEEKS AND HOPEFULLY WE CAN GET RID OF THE MONITORS FOR GOOD.

WELL, HAPPY BELATED VALENTINE'S DAY, THANKS FOR CONTINUING TO PRAY FOR ANTHONY AND GOD BLESS!!!
