We hope this last update of 2012 finds all of you in good company, spirits, and health. 2012 has brought all of us some wonderful times, as well as some not always as wonderful times, but New Year’s Eve is a joyous time of reflection, so we’ll focus on the good for now. 2012 was a year full of joyous celebrations, weddings, births, and gatherings of friends and families.

It has been a busy week at the Children’s Home of Pittsburgh. Judah, as well as mommy and daddy, are getting settled in and learning the new routines and procedures.

Judah continues to progress in the CICU, still awaiting transfer to the next facility, The Children’s Home of Pittsburgh.

We’re actually ok with this, as we don’t want to rush or move Judah any faster than he is ready to go. Continue reading
