Baby Christopher Update

For those of you who have been following the health adventures of Baby Christopher, you are surely rejoicing as you view this latest picture of him.

It was taken in April of this year.

As you recall, he had a heart transplant when he was about 2 months old and a kidney transplant about 6 months ago.

The kidney transplant allowed him to finally come off dialysis.

You will also recall the many ups and downs in his health which caused him to spend essentially the entire first year of his life in the hospital.

If you do not know his 'story', type "Baby Christopher" in the search box at the top of this page and you will find the previous articles, pictures, and etc. that have been on DIT from time to time.

He is home now but still making trips twice a week to the hospital for injections to treat a virus in his body which is trying to attack his kidney transplant, his only functioning kidney.

He still can not eat by mouth so must be fed by a tube into his stomach.

Thus, he is still not 'out of the woods' yet but, as you can see, he is a 'happy camper' and is doing well.

I just thought you would like to know about his progress since we have been posting DITs about him from time to time.

His family thanks you for your prayers, interest, and concern !!!
