CUTER THAN YESTERDAY?!? Fact or Fiction? More Inside!


Another great day with our little guy. We had a hard time getting Bethany discharged, it seemed to take all morning. But the timing was perfect, as we walked in to the NICU just in time to talk to the pediatric cardiologists as they made rounds. They are very pleased with Mitchells progress over the last day. They summarized their comments by saying "If you look in a textbook, it'd be this case right here." It was really great to know that mitchell is gainging strength and in good hands. We also learned today that the tenative date for surgery is this upcoming wednesday, May 9th.
We enjoyed getting to see some of our friends from home today, and the day filled up pretty quickly. We are learning that time flies here, so in order to save some sanity, we're inviting people who would like to come visit to first contact Jenny Vanderwey to find a time that is best.
Finally, heres another picture of Mitchell from today. He moved his feet around tonight, and that was really fun to see.

Dear Jon and Bethany,

What a beautiful baby boy and what a treat to get pictures and updates from you both! We were so happy to hear of his arrival (we'll keep praying for your recovery after such a long labor, Bethany). We love you all and remember you in our prayers each day.
love,
Kevin and Trisha

Dear Mitchell,

Ask your parents about changing your name to Jarmo. You won't regret it.
