I thought I’d update this post for those of you who were following our story. Jacob is now a 2 year old!!!!!
Wow, 2 years old!!! Onwards and upwards! Its been a long year, Jacob was meant to have his full heart repair back in February, he finally had it in November. There has certainly been no looking back since then. He is now almost walking, almost eating and drinking enough so we can take his feeding tube out  That’s the next challenge. But I know we’ll get there. We’ve been up to Starship three times this year, one cardiac cath, one MRI and his open heart surgery. Apart from his heart surgery, we were only in our local hospital once with a bacterial infection in his lungs – not bad for a little one which such complex medical problems
Jacob is a little boy who has such a strong will, real spunk, a fun loving personality and a smile that captures your heart. He certainly gives his brother a run for his money. I now know that if Jacob sets his mind on something, then there will be no stopping him.
I’m the proudest mum ever, proud of my little fighter, proud of my family and proud of my husband – we’ve made it! We’ve survived the two hardest years of our lives. We are so excited about the future and are now making plans - because we can!
Once again, thank you for all of your support. Especially the October 07 girls, you guys rock!
Happy Birthday my little fighter, we are all so proud of you xoxo

That's lovely Nikki. It's so nice to hear about how far Jacob has come, thinking back to when he arrived and you had no idea what the future would hold. Just look at him now! He's proven what a strong little fighter he is and you're an amazing mum.
Happy Birthday for the other day Jacob.
