We have been really concerned these past few days because Briggs keeps getting grumpier and apparently in more pain. To be sure, we went back to the hospital yesterday for more x-rays and and an echo (which used to be a non-event to Briggs and now he's TOTALLY upset during the procedure, who can blame him?). The tests looked good and they thought one of his chest wounds looked like it might be getting infected, but we left being told to watch for fever. SO, he got a slight fever last night and was VERY cranky and crying all day today so I took him back to the doctor today and he has an ear infection! I was actually very relieved - we have an answer as to why he's so uncomfortable and it's not related to his heart! Also, I am leaving for the weekend and I was afraid to take off without having any answers. Now maybe I can get a bit of rest :)
Pictures tomorrow perhaps...
Goodnight!

Are we twins or what?
Actually having a good time waiting!
We wanted a place to keep friends and family updated on our lives and the status of Briggs' surgery and recovery.

Merritt Charlotte Olson
Merritt turned 5 in June 2009 and she is a true princess. She loves to twirl and dance, loves fancy dresses and shoes and loves to play make believe. She is also very athletic - she loves jumping off any dangerous surface, tackling the highest monkey bars and generally running wild. Merritt is a sweet girl who loves to cuddle and pay lots of compliments (did I mention she's smart?)
Briggs and Daddy
Are we twins or what?
William "Briggs" Olson
Sweet Brigsy is our baby boy. He has been through so much - with the diagnosis of his heart defect and a few delays, but we are SO proud of all he has accomplished. Likes: walking around with any stick type gear - golf club, lacrosse stick, pirate sword and, yes, magic wand or broom. Dislikes: diaper changes, food and being contained.
That's What Friends are For
Actually having a good time waiting!
