Time is flying!

July 16th, 2008 by admin

The days are flying by, each filled with fun! Emma turned 9 TODAY! Happy birthday Emma! See how she has grown over the last 9 years…

We’ll backtrack to June 25…Ethan had another INCREDIBLE check-up @ the Jimmy Fund Clinic. He continues to amaze his docs. He also saw his neurologist who concluded he has no residual effects from his stroke. We have quite a line-up of appointments on Wednesday, August 27: lung function tests, echo cardiogram, clinic appointment for check-up, blood work and first round of his immunizations. Tack on dental and ophthalmologist that we’ll see outside of the hospital, and that will conclude his one year post transplant follow-ups.

An quick overview of July:


celebrated Independence Day at the Cape


sleepovers, friends, cousins


Ethan got to see his 1st Red Sox game with a GRAND SLAM @ PMC Night @ Fenway


I was teary throughout the game, so happy to be there, with Ethan next to us…

and we spent a couple great days in NH with friends, today we celebrate Emma’s 9th birthday…and there’s still more fun to come!

Yancy continues to train for the PMC, riding 102 miles last Sunday…his longest ride yet! Thank you for your generous donations…Yancy has exceeded his minimum fundraising level, actually doubled it! Much more PMC news to come as August 2 draws closer.
