Lincoln And Liam

Lincoln had school pictures about a week ago. He was so cute and had his shirt all picked out! I bet you can't guess what his favorite color is. He is getting so big.

Some of the funny things he has said are:
"mom, I'm a LOT of hot!".
"mom, why is your bum so big?" Thanks Linc.
"Liam is so cute, can I squish him?"
"mom, will you play Star wars with me and jump on the couch when we fight?" Yes, I do do this.
He loves preschool and all that he is learning. I love it when he comes home excited because of something new that he has learned. He can right his name legibly now and know every letter and just about every sound that they make.
I love you Linc!



Most of you know we met with the Urologist on Monday. He went over Liam's history and looked at his sweet little body. He told us that he wants to talk to his partner, Dr. Peppas, as he specializes in what Liam has, and give us a call back. Dr. Peppas trained at Johns Hopkins where they are the leading research experts on Cloacle Exstrophy. One of the other procedures that he needs done is called a Monty and Dr.Leslie specializes in that. He will also need a General Surgeon and possibly an Orthopedic surgeon as well. The Dr. called Jared yesterday and said that they want to do an ultrasound on Liam's kidneys to see how they are doing. Liam has a level 4 reflux, 5 being the worst. He said that as long as his kidneys are fine and he does not get any Urinary or Kidney infections we should be fine to wait a few years until we need to do the surgery. I am praying his kidneys are fine, of course, but to not have another surgery for at least 2 to 3 more years would be heaven! They are going to give us a call early next week to get everything scheduled and add to the tests if they think he needs something else done. Keep your fingers crossed this sweet child gets to have a few years off from the OR rooms!
