It's been a while

Thanks for all the gifts and cards - it seems that Briggs loves the packaging the most!


It's been a while since we posted an update, but for good reason - Briggs is totally mobile and fast and it takes quite an effort to protect him from falls where he might land on his chest or run into the corner of a table, etc. So, it takes a bit of concentration that keeps me away from the computer! But, he is doing SO well. We had his Cardiology appointment this week and we don't have to go back for SIX MONTHS!! What a feeling. Now if we could just have a surgery to take away his allergies to milk, soy, wheat and nuts I would sign up! For now I will gladly appreciate the new heart and the fact that his smiling face is still with us :)
Here are few of the latest pictures. I will try to put one up of his incision soon - it's looking great!
