Eating Rasberry's and Crawling!

As you can tell from his messy face, Teag loves being out with us crawling around the grass and eating raspberry's! He is doing so good, it is hard to stop him when he wants something. He is getting good at going over legs, pillows, anything in his way. He also went out on the swing for the 1st time, as you can see from the pics he loved that too. All in all we are having a fun summer, just need to get rid of the pink eye that is making the rounds for the 2nd time!

Summer Fun!

     Sorry it has been a while since our last update! We have been having fun this summer as a family, lots of fishing trips and swimming at the lake, Teag has loved it. He is doing so good, he is gaining weight and growing like he should. He loves being outside, watching the girls and anything else that moves. When we go up fishing he loves to watch the fish when we catch them, he does all he can to get his hands on them.
     As far as his heart goes we have only had 1 follow up since his 2nd surgery and they were very pleased so we really don't think about it. We just enjoy having him and watching him smile, he seems to brighten up everyones moods. Thank you all for you love and support for Teag, we will continue to keep you posted.

Little Warrior!

     This last Friday we had the opportunity to go up to Weber High for their final assembly to thank them for all of the money they raised for Teagan during Quarters for Cans. It was so much fun to introduce him to them, they had us come down to the stage where we introduced Teagan and presented them a plaque Amanda made for them. They were so respectful, they gave him a standing ovation for a few minutes. The plaque we gave them included this picture in an 8x10 and this shirt he is wearing in the picture below. Amanda bought 2 shirts and her and our friend Audrey Rogers embroidered them with the "Little Warrior", he looked like a little stud.

From there we went to his big follow up appointment at Primary's to see how his heart is doing, we are so happy to say that after looking at his echo they decided to take him off 2 of his heart meds! They said he is doing better than they expected, they are very pleased. We know it is because of all of the prayers of faith that are offered on his behalf, we love and thank you for them. They had to sedate him for the echo, he wanted to grab everything that came close to him. He had everyone laughing, he is such a happy little kid.

Anyway, thanks again to all of you Weber Warriors, and thanks to all for your thoughts and prayers!

7 Months!

It's hard to believe that little man turned 7 months old on the 8th, time is flying by. He is doing so good, we just got him going on solids and he LOVES it. He even eats the peas! As you can see from the pics below we just got back from a vacation to southern Utah, it was so nice to get away. We spent a lot of time at the pool, Teag loved watching his sisters swim and even joined them a couple times. He is so happy and excited to see them, he loves to watch those girls.

We have also had him out to church a few times, we love to let him meet all of you who fasted for him that first weekend he was alive, it feels like he knows you when he see's you. We still talk about how much everyone has done for us through all of this, in fact we were able to use the money we saved from the secret santa to help pay for our vacation, it was like a late Christmas gift. :) So thank you!

Anyway, we just wanted to give an update on Teagan, he is doing as good as ever!

Doing good!

It has been a while since we have posted, sorry! Time flies, we don't realize how long it has been. Teagan is doing great. He is as happy as can be and getting stronger everyday. He is rolling over to grab things, likes his belly time, and loves taking baths with Emma. He is developing so good, sometimes we forget he has had 2 heart surgeries.

We will try to be better about this, we know there are kids born with this condition every day and Teagan is such an inspiration to so many parents facing this future. We love him and want to let you know he is as strong as ever!

Happy Easter!

                                   Teagans 1st time getting to go see Great-Grandma Jennie.


Teagan had his 1st Easter and he loved it. He obviously didn't care about the candy but he did enjoy playing with the empty eggs. We were able to take him over to play with all of his cousins and have a Easter egg hunt, it was alot of fun. As you can see he looks quite handsome in his easter outfit. He loves chewing and sucking on his tie.
It's nice to have the last 6 months behind us. Now hopefully we will have a couple years, hospital free. We will be going in again in the next couple of weeks for his check up and an echo to check on his heart function. There is no reason to believe that they will find anything, thank goodness. We hope you all had a good Easter, and we hope the weather will start getting warmer so that we can start having bbq's and and have everyone come and meet Teags.

Sitting up!

Little man is doing so good. He is all the way off his oxygen and his levels are staying high, it is nice to have a wireless boy! :) Here are a few pics from the park, he loves being out on sunny days

ENJOYING LIFE!

Little man is doing so good! He is doing a little better each day, we are so proud of him. Last week we had a little scare, Amanda gave him his meds a few minutes early and went upstairs. I was in sitting with him and his med alarm went off so I gave him his meds...again. As I was heading out the door to go mop some floors at the church I told Amanda not to worry about his meds, I had taken care of it (just trying to be useful :)) Needless to say we were on the phone with poison control right away, they told Amanda that because he had a blood pressure med and a heart med that he needed to be taken to the ER immediately! AHH! They told us to get him to the nearest one and that they would "stabilize" him and transport him to Primary's. Not what we wanted to hear. So we got in the car and started driving and trying every way we could to get a hold of someone at Primary's for a 2nd opinion. We were able to get a hold of the Gardner’s, the parents of the Teagan, who were still down there. They got their nurse who gave us the pager number of one of the cardio nurses - called that number and she quickly called us back. She was standing next to one of the cardio docs, so we told them what had happened and they said that they though he would be fine but to bring him down there to monitor his blood pressure. We were so relieved to hear that, so we took him down where they monitored him for a hour and released us. They actually told us that he was on a low enough dose that is could have been doubled if needed - we kind of chuckled, that would have been nice to know! But I was so proud of Amanda, she was so calm and collected through it, what a mom.

Above - Eating his breathing tube. He loves to pull it out of his nose when we aren't looking and put it in his mouth!

Teag and his new cousin Olivia (Nick and Jennifer's baby girl)

He loves sitting up, and he loves his girlfriend Loren! He is holding his head up really good and loves sitting up with a little help

Outside Time!

Thanks to some great weather Teagan was able to make it outside to watch his sisters play! He is doing so good, we are very happy. He is also talking a lot and rolling onto his side, he is so much fun to have around.

We want to thank everyone who has continued to help our family, we love and appreciate you and like we have said before, we will always be indebted to you. Here are a few pics of buddy boy!

Here he is talking away!

Side time...he loves being on his sides
