Hey Christy,
Lalo will turn one on October 18th. It is amazing how fast time
flies! We are throwing him a cowboy party, it is going to be a blast!
hope you have had a chance to check out some of the photos we posted.
Concerning his heart condition, his doctors wouldn't officially label
it as a symptom of his Marshalls since there are so little cases
documented to compare to. But if it can help anyone else out, or raise
any awareness at all, we do make mention of it.
Well its nice to hear from you, and hello to anyone else checking
in, thanks!
Michel & Aaron
