The Latest on Baby James

Paul Coover · October 12, 2008, 12:22:05 PM

On October 2-3, we went down to Portland to have James' heart looked at.

The Good News: All if his numbers and his EKG looked good.

The Bad News: His widening aorta has gotten a little worse.

So, he goes back in December and gets checked up again. If it continues to get wider, he will need medication and perhaps surgery later down the road. Hopefully it doesn't come to that!

Now, here are some photos from our Portland trip!

We visited the Portland area lighthouses, including:
Portland Breakwater Lighthouse

Spring Point Ledge Lighthouse

Portland Head Lighthouse

We had some fun at the Ledge Lighthouse with James

Prayers & rays on they way to Baby James!! Hope everything turns out okay.. Looks like you had a blast, and James is growing so quickly...

Baby James is such a cutie and is growing so quickly. Sending rays and prayers that his test in December will be okay. But please tell me why Baby James has an Eagles teeshirt, you must have relatives in this area. I just couldn't believe my eyes. Although I live in Eagles country, I cheer for the Dallas Cowboys.

Thanks for all the great pictures. Love those lighthouses.

My wife and I are from the Philadelphia area. I was born in West Chester PA and I grew up in Medford and Marlton in New Jersey. My wife is from the Berlin and Pine Hill area. My mother still lives in Mt. Laurel NJ. Philly sports teams are still my favorites... they're in my blood. I'm getting ready for tonight's Phillies game!

As for the Dallas Cowboys, well, I don't have anything good to say about the hated Cowboys.

GO EAGLES!!

LOL, I know most folks around here hate the cowboys, so every night I take in our Cowboys flag. For some reason I have never cared for the Eagles or the 76'ers, but I always cheer on the Phillies and the Flyers. I LOVE the Flyers. My kids and I used to attend the games, but now that they are grown, I don't get over there. Did you know the Spectrum is being demolished. So sad.

LET'S GO FLYERS!!!!!!

Yes, I do know the old Spectrum is coming down soon. It's been years since I was in there, and I still love a good hockey game at the Wachovia Center.
I'm surprised your Cowboys flag would survive at all down there in the Delaware Valley!
By the way, too bad about those Cowboys going down tonight!! (haha)

Wow! Baby James is getting BIG! I think he looks like BOTH of you!
I'll be praying that things get better and James won't require meds or surgery! Rays heading your way from the trio in Florida....and you know those dachsie rays hold an awful lot of healing power!

Boy has Baby James grown. Getting to be quite the looker. I will keep you all in my prayers hoping for James's heart to get better.
The lighthouse pictures, as always, are great. Thanks.
