Goodbye meds!

We had a cardiology checkup today, and guess who is getting weaned off of medications?

JAMES!

One med going away, another one in the works. He's wearing a monitor for the next 24 hours to follow his heart rate. Depending on the results, a second med - the one keeping his heart rate in check following that scary August atrial flutter episode - will also go away.

I've told him the monitor is his "pocket computer" so he doesn't take it off.

Merry Christmas from a happy and overall pretty healthy little superhero!

School days

James is in school now, and starting to actually be happy about it! It took awhile to get over being angry every morning, but he is back to his habit from last year of looking forward to the bus and chattering in the morning about "the yellow bus" and "James is going on a bus".

He has done some artwork lately that I'll share soon - he is starting to draw recognizable images. The bus is, of course, a favorite subject.

He is finally approved to stop the no-fat recovery diet, so we've been gradually working him back into a regular diet. We'll see the cardiologist again in December for hopefully a full back-to-normal clearance.

Also... no throwing up in over a month! Hooray!
