As you have probably figured out by now, cameras and posting them on the internet are not my strong suit. Both of our daughters are much better at using their cameras (mine tends to stay in my purse) and putting them online. If you go to www.heatherwhy.blogspot.com or www.landoflyle.blogspot.com you can see more pics of Hannah.
We spent Christmas with the Lyles and had a great time. Auntie Heather was there and we all tried to share Hannah among ourselves. She still likes to stay up at night and sleep during the day, but hopefully that will change soon.

She's here!
Hannah Mae Lyle arrived on December 9th at 3:02 PM. She weighed 6 lbs 15 oz. and is 20 1/2 inches long. Mom, Dad and Hannah are all doing great!
Peter and I will be spending the next few days with Hannah to help her settle in with Mom & Dad.

Good news and still waiting
Good morning,
We got some good news yesterday - Peter's one year bone marrow biopsy looks great! No problems noted. He should be getting his flu shot soon and all of his pediatric immunizations too.
His transplant was just over 13 months ago and at times it's been a wild ride. Thankfully it has all been positive for the past 5 - 6 months and should continue on that way. When we saw the dr. last month he said Peter probably has chronic GVHD (graft versus host disease). This happens alot and it just means he will probably have skin flareups, eye irritations and stomach problems for quite awhile. They are all managable with hydrocortisone creams and being careful what he eats, so we will just have to learn to live with it and deal with it as necessary. He is still not gaining any weight so we are trying to increase his calorie intake during the day. The problem is, he says, is that he forgets to eat - I should be so lucky. It seems that we have our eating habits reversed; he likes to eat what I should be eating and vice versa!
We are still anxiously awaiting Ziggy, aka Kim & Todd's baby. Her due date is tomorrow but the dr. predicted she would be born by Thanksgiving. Oh well, she'll get here when she gets here. I'll keep you posted.
As usual, I apologize for not updating more often, but as Heather tells us frequently, we are boring!
