Next month is the 2nd annual LCK Picnic for all the families. We are extremely impressed with this volunteer organization. They are incredibly organized, informative and helpful.
They have childcare for children 3 and older that get to go do projects in the hospital while the parents attend the meeting. The babies are in with us and Cole was quite the ruckus in the room. Matt and I took turns standing at the back of the room and entertaining Cole by throwing him in the air, rocking him and swinging him until our arms had turned into arms like Gumby.
These meetings are not for parents only. A lot of families had grandparents and other family members there so they could better understand or learn more.
The meeting we went to was a doctor going over the different heart defects so we could understand what other families have and deal with.
I think with Cole's we knew, but sometimes have chosen to turn our head as a way to deal with some of the more difficult information spoken. It made us step back again and thank God for getting to wake up another morning with Cole and go in to see his round tubby head standing in his crib, smiling and waiting patiently to drag ourselves into his room. Cole is doing great though and we'll take what we have for this moment we have.
For those of you who haven't heard through the grapevine. Cole is not going to be the baby anymore. We will be making room in our hearts and house for one more in August!!!
I took these this morning for those of you still checking in here. This is Cole's "I'm serious about this" faces. He tries so hard to communicate and we try so hard to understand.
