Hello Friends and Family!
It has been awhile. Things are going pretty well. Ben had an ear infection last week and Allison has pink eye this week. Today I stayed home with work with her. I was going to take a half day anyway for my physical. Ben has not heart news. He is scheduled to go to the cardiologist at the end of March to get a check up. Here are two pictures. Have a good week.

School
Hello,
Just wanted to post that the kids are doing good at the daycare/preschool.
Allison enjoys it there. She gets worried when it gets dark, but I am sure she will get used to the fact that someone is always going to pick her up. She really enjoys the other kids and activities they do. I always look forward to her telling me about her day.
Ben loves his teacher Ann and is doing very well. I think being with all the kids encourages him to move more.

Good News!
Ben had his 15 months apt today with the pedatrician. Ben continues to improve slowly. Everyone is hopeful that he will adapt to his left side trouble. Ben was not happy to have shots, but his growth is good. He is 50% for length, 25% head, 3% weight. He has always stayed consistent. He is now 20lbs 2.5oz. Very good for BEN! The daycare Ben will be going to had a little boy, Matt, for 4 years that had heart surgery and brain damage. They did not know how bad the damage was just like Ben. Matt eventually sat, walked, and talked and looked like any other boy. This gives me hope. Ben just needs time to adapt. I think that this center will be a good place for him since his main teacher was Matt's as well. We are praying that it goes well next week.

Merry Christmas to All!
Hello,
I m sorry it has been awhile. But no news means there is nothing to report on Ben about his heart. Although he is improving on eating and crawling. He is doing therapy to work on his stiffness, which is his main obstacle. He is starting to really enjoy finger foods. The cardiologist says things are looking good. He are in a holding plan at this point. Although Ben was not happy to see the cardiologist at all. He is starting to realize more and understand what is going on. He screamed and gave him dirty looks. lol
Today Ben and Ally spend the morning at the daycare center while I observed and went over all the info about Ben. Seems like Ben like his main teacher, Ann, and I even left him with her while I spend some time in the Lamb room with Ally. I am feeling more comfortable with leaving Ben there, they are a wonderful group and have had experience very similar to Ben. Ally did not want to leave and we stayed longer to let her celebrate one of her classmate's birthday with cupcakes.
I just want to say Merry Christmas to all, because I was kinda a grinch and did not send out Christmas cards. My time is so precious at this point that I though everyone would understand and except this blog.
Enjoy it and give thanks for all of our blessings. Merry Christmas!

Alligator Ben
Hello,
The McCarthy family is doing pretty good. We had a fun Halloween and are looking forward to all the holiday events to come. Benjamin is doing good. He is working hard at his therapy and seems to be improving slowly. He is crawling and pushing up on his arms. Ben is not sitting on his own yet, but we are working on it. He still is pretty much eating stage 2 baby food and drinking from a bottle. He tries to eat puffs and mum mum crackers. Today he tried to eat a fry, and he adores frozen yogurt and ice cream. Ben got approved to get another round of synagis shots this winter to help him stay healthy. The nurse is coming on Tuesday. He also is finally getting his 12 month shots and has a cardiologist apt this month. This should get him all up to date on everything. Check out the photos below.
Dan is starting a new temp job at Johnson Controlls Inc. He has a 6 month contract that may end with a job with benefits. Although he is going to be working nights and lots of hours. We will miss him. That is our update for now. Enjoy your day.
