Well, all the men of the house are now yellow belts. Actually, we have been for a few weeks now – it’s just taken a while to get the photos downloaded. Here are the pictures – Cheri will be ready to get her’s on the next testing cycle. She put her training on hold, for obvious reasons.

and Dad…

Hannah has become more of a ‘busy body’ than she was before the surgery. It is amazing how active she has been after just going through open heart surgery. Today she seemed mad more than usual – we suspect that she is feeling some pain/soreness. We have to constantly stay in the bonus room with her and make sure she doesn’t climb or do anything to stretch. We are so glad to see her get right back to playing!

We are still at the hospital. Today is the last day of the antibiotic Hannah is getting through an IV. Tomorrow is still the projected day we are going home. The thing the doctors are looking at is her eating. She was what we would call a border line eater anyway. So, for someone who doesn’t know ‘normal’ for her is probably going to get concerned when she is only taking that much in. Hannah has been eating somewhat less that she usually does – which was expected because of the surgery. However, since she was borderline in the first place – it has caused her to go back on IV fluids. Our hope is that her intake is good today and that she continues to improve her eating.
