Journal entry by Jamie Anderson —
It has been a whirlwind of a few days. Not much has happened that is too exciting (which is a good thing). Thursday, after just getting home, we had our first Doctor’s check up with Dr. Demmel. She is our primary doctor and she is amazing!! She was so kind and good to me through out my whole pregnancy. Always answered every question I had and was so patient with me. The weekend that I had Knox and my kidney stones, which was the weekend BEFORE I was due, she was out of town. Otherwise she would have delivered for me in Grant. I was told that Grant wouldn’t of had the supplies and resources that we needed in order to keep Knox alive when he was born. This is another one of God’s amazing signs. He gave me those darn kidney stones so that I would be transferred to North Platte, where we had to resources to keep him safe and alive. When I went to Grant for my kidney stones I saw Dr. Colglazier and he had a gut feeling to transfer me to North Platte. I am so glad his years of experience and trusting his gut sent me there. God is amazing and I have no doubt we had guardian angels looking out for us.
The appointment went really well. Knox gained weight! I was worried about this because of his cluster feeding, but he is doing great and growing so fast.
I loved seeing every one of your posts yesterday with the red shirts! Thank you so much for those of you who supported us and all the other children with Congenital Heart Disease. It means so much to Dane and I. We have found comfort in talking to other parents who’s children have the same CHD as Knox. Transposition of the Greater Arteries can be a very scary thing. But it is nice to see pictures of kids who have grown up and are living their normal lives after the surgery.
Today will be a relaxing day. We are still trying to get in the routine of things and figure out this whole new role of being parents. Briggs decided he likes his little brother and wanted to cuddle with him. He is pretty alert to every noise he makes and does not like it when Knox cries, especially during bath time. He loves to lay by his crib when he naps also.
Thank you all for your continued support and prayers! We are doing amazing and God has blessed us in so many ways. We could not be more grateful!
