I am just smitten with this boy! I spend the majority of each and every day holding him because he loves to be held. I am trying to savor every minute of it because I know this stage won't last forever.
We found out that Creed has an extra vein in his heart that causes his heart rate to beat to fast (SVT) when he is under any type of stress. He will be on a beta blocker medicine 3 times a day for 9 months to a year and then we will try to ween him off his medicine and see if he has outgrown the condition. If he doesn't, then the doctor will go in and do surgery when he is 35-40 lbs. and cauterize the vein so that blood won't flow through that area of his heart.
We feel so incredibly blessed because this condition is so controllable now that we have him on medication. We love Creed so much and feel incredibly blessed to have him and 3 other amazing boys in our lives.

I could just kiss those cute checks off!! Has anyone said he looks like Crew? They have the same cute little lips! I am so glad they were to determine what the heart problem is and now you can control it. Love you guys!!
Love that little grandson. I enjoyed holding him last week. He is so sweet and cuddly. He is precious to me. I love the pictures too. What a special little boy! I miss Crew here. It is quiet without him. Love all your boys! You are such a good mom and I am proud of you, Em.
I'm so happy things are going good for baby Creed!! He is so cute!!
Your kids are their beautiful eyes!! He looks a little chunky but I just saw him a few weeks ago and he seemed so tiny. I'm glad everything is under control and baby Creed is doing so well :)
What a relief that it is something so treatable. I'm sorry your family has had a few scares though to get to this point. What a blessing for modern medicine!
Oh, sweet, sweet Creed! So happy to see these pics of his cute little smile! What a doll!
I am so glad to hear that he is OK!! It is so great they can fix thing like that!

Oh that precious little baby...he couldn't be more adorable! Those eyes and lips with that little hat...just want to kiss and snuggle him! Sure wish I was there to share in the snuggle time. So very happy that his SVT is under control!!! I miss you guys! Love ya!
So glad that they have identified the problem and that it is controllable. And what a blessing that you have this time to just hold and snuggle him. Those days pass too quickly as you know. ENJOY!
I'm so glad that you found out about it and that he is ok with medication for now. I'll pray that he grows out of it so he doesn't have to have surgery down the road. Your boys are so sweet, they are growing so fast!
he is A.Dor.ABLE!
He is so dang cute! I'm glad to hear that you can treat his condition with medication. Enjoy that baby stage....sometimes I secretly with that I could have one more without the pregnancy, delivery, etc.
