Christmas Update


UPDATE ON PIP: The new medicine seems to be helping - coughing and labored breathing are almost gone. Pip tires very easily, but still enjoys supervising ALL family activities. He will be seeing the cardiologist again in the next few days. We are realistic about his long term prognosis and are making the most and celebrating every moment together.

Thank you SO MUCH for all your lovely words and prayers - I know he is feeling them! Hope everyone had a joyous Christmas!
