Chase Update

It is hard to believe that Chase is almost 18 months old!! He is getting so big and the past year and a half has gone by so quickly. He is so much fun and loves playing with Elijah. He repeats everything and says about 20 words on his own. We received a pretty good report at his last cardiologist visit. His aortic valve is leaking a little more now that it was a year ago so he is now on a medication to prevent the leaking from getting worse. We have struggled this cold/flu season a bit, but it has not been too bad! Chase had pneumonia and was hospitalized for 2 days. He recovered quickly. Little Chase is so strong and is a fighter!! After his hospital stay, Chase had a severe allergic reaction to something. His pediatrician feels like it was a reaction to penicillin. I am not 100% convinced yet. ; ) We stopped his amoxicillin which he has been on since he was about 3 weeks old and are waiting to start another antibiotic until further instruction from his cardiologist.

Chase's allergic reaction....hives ALL over his body!!

Chase was such a trooper when getting breathing treatments after his pneumonia!!
