As far as Eli's birthmother, I have kept true to my word. I email her and text her photos and info. On to the big guy, Eli is doing very well. He is delayed in some areas. Still not walking, very low muscle tone in lower extremities. Had surgery 6 weeks ago for tubes in his ears due to continuing fluid build up. As well as he had to have the skin under his tongue clipped. He hadn't been eating well before the surgery either, now you can't seem to fill him up. He still loves his milk, but his a huge veggie lover. He still has a bit of the fluid on his brain, but it is getting better the more time passes. I have to admit that he is the sweetest child I have ever met in my life, he's so laid back, easy going. Loves to look at books, he will just stare at the pictures then turn the page and stare at the next one.

I have to say we are all very lucky to have one another. I wouldn't change a thing, but I still have the hope of adding a little sister or two to our clan in the near future. I know wishful thinking on my part, but it's a dream that isn't going anywhere. We always wanted at least 5 kids, we still have a few more to go to get there.

I so hope to be able to pay you all at Lifetime a visit someday. I owe you tons of hugs. Take care, write if you ever have a minute. Know that you are in our thoughts and prayers daily! Thank you for helping people like us become the families we otherwise wouldn't be.

Much love,
