Sam turned 11 last month. He's into martial arts and jumping rope. Great for cardio, coordination, and burning off energy.

Nine years later! Sam had a cardiologist appointment last week. Last visit was maybe three years ago. They did an EKG (electrical analysis) and an ultrasound echo-cardiogram (physical and blood flow analysis.) Everything looks good. Next visit to cardiologist in five years.

Sam is finishing up his last few weeks of summer before going off to first grade. I see I never got around to posting a picture this last March. Here's a picture of Sam in July with a cicada.
Not much to report. At cardiologist appointment in May, we learned that apparently the ASD is still present, but not an issue.

Walk to Defeat ALS today in Baltimore. It was a cold (45 F) rainy day, but Sam didn't mind. He had fun doing all the things a 4-year-old boy should do on a rainy day.

This year was a blur as the 4th anniversary passed us by. Nothing new to report about Sam. He is getting ready to go into his final year of pre-school before hitting the big Kindergarten milestone.
