A while back Fossil had asked how Lil' Badfish was doing and I never got around to responding. She is doing GREAT! After many follow up visits with the surgeon and other docs it's been determined that the remaining lobes of her right lung are filling in nicely. We have one last hurdle though-a CT scan at the end of June-that will tell us once and for all if the whole mass is gone (the surgeon is confident that it is), so we are cautiously optimistic, but are hoping that this is all really behind us now. She is a perfectly happy and healthy 5 month old and aside from some developmental lag (she's not rolling over and doing other things yet because the time in the hospital slowed her down a bit), she is doing wonderfully. Thanks again to all the thoughts and prayers from the hearth.com crew. Anyway, now that we know she's doing well and the furnace is going dormant for the year it's time to starting thinking about hiking! My neighbor is letting me borrow his Kelty Kid Carrier because his son is too big for it now and they don't have any younger kids yet. My daughter is almost big enough for it and should be ready to go once we start hiking again in April. You can hike all day in one of these things in total comfort because it's a full suspension backpack-now she can go anywhere I can go Hopefully this will be the start of a lifelong love of the outdoors:
