Happy New  Year!!! 3 months late, but it was last year that we posted the last update.  Over the past few months we have been to many doctors’ appointments, and continue to get good reports on little Zoe.  Well, not so little anymore, now 14 pounds and 7 ounces, and over 25 inches long.  He is nearly 7 months old, and doing awesome.  His liver is completely healed, his blood count is completely normal, he sees out of both eyes, per his last visit to the eye doctor when they did a vision test.  His retinas are completely flat against the back of his eyes, and his eyes are no longer filled with blood.  The heart doctor performed an EKG and a sonogram on his heart last week, and it all came back good.  He no longer has the G-tube (removed in November ‘08), and he is eating baby cereal, veggies, and about to experience fruit for the first time tonight!  He takes all his bottles and is a pacie junkie!   The neursurgeon performed another CT scan, and though it is visible that there has been insult to the brain, there are no lingering concerns for the future.  The neurologist evaluated Zoe’s activity and motor skills and he also sees no current delays in Zoe’s developement, nor any concerns for the future.  Today the developemental therapist visited us at the house and her report was the same.  Zoe babbles, goos, laughs (he is very ticklish, just like his big brother and his daddy), and he loves to be around his bubba and sissy while they play.  He cut his first tooth this week, and the second one is not far behind.  I (Carmen) hope to become much more computer savvy in the near future so as not to rely on Jim to have to post new pics and videos.  I do however know how to plug the computer in and turn it on!  Baby steps, I know, but you gotta start somewhere!  We’ll try to have some posted soon, I know many people are wondering how big he’s getting, etc.  Thank you again for your prayers in faith.  Happy March to all!
