6 weeks and 3 days from now Evan will officially be 1 year post liver transplant! I cannot believe it has almost been a year! We have been so blessed that Evan's health has been good. Aside from one hospitalization for a tummy bug and now him having the flu (at home) things have been great. Both the tummy bug and flu are "normal" kid issues. It seems so surreal to think of any health issue as "normal", but as we all know, kids get sick. It's just a part of life. Evan's immune system seems to be working well and fighting off these illnesses on their own without any special interventions. It's great to see that Evan can catch a cold and handle it just like a healthy child would. He is only taking two medications now... A low dose of prograf and a supplement of magnesium. His liver functions have been good.
Evan is a typical toddler... He is a lucky eater! Mostly he prefers crunchy foods or breaded/fried foods. Who doesn't, right? He is in gymnastics and while he can be hesitant to try some things he has so much fun! He loves to read books and especially likes playing with cars! He knows some of his letters and some of his colors. He is saying new words every day! He also loves dinosaurs! :) We love going to the zoo or the aquarium. He just loves seeing animals!
It's amazing how much has change in this last year. Our stress level seems to be lower and lower as time passes and Evan continues to do well. We cannot be more pleased with our choice to have Evan's liver transplant done when we did. He has just flourished!
