Sorry for the delay with updates. Meg was away for business in Arizona and things have been busy!

Michael is doing well. Meg and Thomas took him to the pediatrician yesterday, thinking that the poor little guy may have an ear infection. It turns out that he has a viral infection, which was causing a fever, which resulted in low saturation levels (amount of oxygen in his blood). The pediatrician sent them to the hospital, where they did a chest x-ray and blood work. The blood work came back okay but the chest x-ray revealed some concern that Michael's left lung may have been pushed. So far, the cardiologist is speculating that it could have occurred during the last surgery. They are going to do an MRI tomorrow (hopefully). The medical team will monitor this closely since, if this is the case, it is very rare. However, as Michael's temperature returned to normal so did his saturation levels, leaving his doctors and parents relieved.

Michael's been hanging low at home and is back to being his hilarious self. When not cracking up, he's climbing over people and toys to find the clicker or seek out the cell phone's hiding spot.

We'll keep you posted with updates.

Here's are some pictures of the Mickster in some new sunglasses his dad bought him and just hanging out at home. [We're ignoring the fact that they say Yankees on them.]

Sending lots of love to everyone!
