Home Stretch


Team Miyasaki


Disneyland!



Flying Home Soon!


Basket Babies!


I wanna be like my dad!


September 28th makes one year that mommy has been here in LA. It's been such an roll-a-coaster ride filled with both highs and lows. But the light at the end of the tunnel is near. Since the Glenn, Ren is a totally different baby. Everyday he is getting stronger. His color is now pink and no longer blueish/grey. His breathing has gotten better no longer weathered. His weight is increasing at a steady pace and we see him thriving everyday. He is smiling and cooing and interacting more with Rhys. The Physical Therapy is working wonders and each new trick is just simply amazing. Ren is simply AMAZING! Last checkup he weighs 12lbs and has gained a pound since last month.
Rhys is doing well. He is 15lbs and grew almost an inch since last months checkup. He is eating more and nursing less. He's getting so big, mommy and daddy can't believe how fast he is growing. He is climbing on everything and keeps mommy and daddy on our toes. We think he will be walking real soon.
The boys had a real treat this month. Since Ren is stronger and we were blessed with complimentary tickets to Disneyland, Team Miyasaki packed up and drove to Anaheim. It was an adventure for sure. It took mommy all night to prep both feeds and meds for the boys. But all the hard work was worth the BIG EYES and SMILES!
It's the home stretch for the Team. Ren has one more surgery (his fifth surgery in 10 months) before we can all come home to Hawaii. On the 25th his ear tube surgery is scheduled. We still have to see if the cardiac anesthesiologist is available on that day. But after that, we are packing up and ready to come home. Ren will have a break for another 3 to 5years before his final heart surgery. It will be a warm homecoming for sure. We can't wait to see all of our family and friends. And finally, mommy can sleep in her own bed!
