Wow! It has been a long while since I last updated this blog. I really don't have anything new to report. Xyler is now a very happy, busy 5 year old boy. He is doing great! We have not had anything new going on with his heart. He has yearly checkups now with his cardiologist, and at the last one everything looked fine.
I feel like you blink, and suddenly time flies right on by. When I think about how Xyler is now 5, I can't believe that many years have gone by since this heart journey all began. When I think back on it, it feels like it was just a bit ago, and not 5 years ago. We just celebrated his 4 year anniversary since his last heart surgery, which was a heart catheter procedure. I feel that we are truly blessed because of how well he is doing.
Xyler loves to play with his brother Xavian. Xavian is just 1 year older than Xyler, and they are normally together playing...or sometimes fighting. :) Both of them will also play with their older siblings, Xander & Nika, every once in a while. It makes my heart happy when all 4 of them will play together and get along. This doesn't happen much, but I will take it when it does happen.
Xyler is really having a hard time with the fact that he is not in kindergarten yet. He asks me all of the time if he will be starting soon. His birthday is in October, so he missed the deadline by around a month and a half. All of his other siblings are in school full time, and it feels like torture for him to not be in school yet. He really is ready and the next school year cannot come soon enough. I am glad that he is excited, and hope he stays excited once he is in school.
I will try to post some pics later. He has changed quite a bit since the last time I updated his blog. I really need to get on here more and just write about all of the crazy, silly things Xyler and my other kids do. There is never a dull moment here.
