Re: Update on Christian and Lori

[Guest guest]

Lori,

It's great to hear an update on Christian. Between getting the fit

right and everyone being sick, it sounds like a very tough week!!!

It sounds like he has settled in to a good fit, and how wonderful

that he is sleeping so well. That is very encouraging news that

some head shape changes are already being measured... I'm hoping

that Christian has a really good growth spurt and you see some

additional rounding!

Please do keep us posted on how Christian is coming along, and let

us know when you get a new photo in his folder.

Take care,

Christie (Mom to Repo'd Remy)

Lori,

So sorry to hear you and Christian have been so sick. But I'm really

happy to hear that he has readjusted so well and is rounding out! YAH!

Keep us posted on his progress.
