Heartiversary... - Crafty Nester

Crafty Nester

How appropriate that the anniversary of our tiny P’s heart transplant should fall on Thanksgiving…we are so grateful that our baby was given this heart, this hope for a full life.
We are celebrating two years today. Our tiny P is vibrant and sassy and so full of life because of the gift she was given two years ago.
So thankful
So grateful
So very blessed…

Yesterday was a hospital day for Paisley, starting

Yesterday was a hospital day for Paisley, starting with early morning blood work, and then transplant clinic where she met with her cardiologist, nurses, nutritionist, pharmacist, and transplant psychiatrist, and then got an echo and ekg!
Busy day for our girl, but she rocked it as usual...her echo came back abnormal, showing some narrowing in her pulmonary arteries and some higher pressures. This is new for her, and the past two weeks she has woken up in the morning with puffiness in her face...the puffiness usually happens with clotting, which means the area she had ballooned during her last cath is probably closed again. They will plan to send her back to the cath lab in a couple months, probably right around the six month mark from her last cath, to check these things, and she will see her hematologist next week. Paisley is on anticoagulant therapy to keep her from getting new clots, so having her clotting so quickly after her last cath is discouraging!
Our girl always likes to keep us on our toes! 💗

A month ago she told me she couldn’t see the tv

A month ago she told me she couldn’t see the tv from the couch clearly anymore. We have a big tv!
Yesterday she had her eyes checked, and she was beyond excited to hear that she needed glasses. She cheered and the doctor was confused 😂 apparently not everyone is thrilled to hear that they get glasses!?
As soon as she put them on she stared at herself in the mirror for a long time. When I asked her if she liked them, if she was alright, she said very seriously “oh my goodness. I am cuter than EVER.”
She is. She really is. No one is even a little sad about these glasses. 💗💗

It’s an elaborate wink, and everyone around him

It’s an elaborate wink, and everyone around him gets treated to this wink whenever he is in trouble. Every time he hears the word no... and it makes us giggle every time. So basically he wins. 😉

We think of him as our tiny baby Finn, but really he has grown so much, and he is turning into such a little boy.
We don’t realize how much he has grown until we look back at his pictures from two years ago...we were in China, and he really was the very tiniest. Our baby Finn. 💙💙
