Wonderful that your grandson is doing good Love the Quilt and the monkey what a wonderful idea.

Your quilt and monkey are great, but the news is better yet!

I am overjoyed with your grandson's good news. Our great grandson was born June 7th in Boston. He had several angioplasties before they were allowed to bring him home to SC after over a month there. He will probably need more surgeries and possibly open heart surgery as he gets older. He is not gaining as the doctors would like and his numbers were up. Found out he is anemic. Poor little guy is so sweet. He appears to be strongwilled at this early age. Think this is why he has progressed so much better than other babies. That and the many prayers that were sent up for him across the country.

My grandson was over 9 pounds when he was born and his mom devoted her time to feeding him and getting him to grow for the next 6 months. The babies with heart defects do better when the heart is bigger (like at least walnut size!) so the doctors can see what they are doing. He had his surgery to fix the defects when he was 6 months old and has thrived since then! I taught disabled kids back in the early '60s and had 2 students with the same deformity of the heart. Doctors couldn't do much then so the kids were frail, blue and didn't live past high school. We are blessed to live in the times we do!

Really cute, glad the little one is doing well!

Great News love your quilt
