This is Shannon's sister Becky. I have officially hacked her blog. I keep telling my sister that she needs to post what is happening on her blog so that her friends and family can be up to date. She has not listened to the wise advice of her younger sister! So I am doing it for her.
The Dummer's finally got their perfect baby. After two failed adoptions they were blessed with Elizabeth Marisa (Lizzy) who was born at the end of September. She is amazing and fits right in the Dummer clan. Shannon and Kevin were able to take a mini vacation to California to pick her up. They were able to do this because of Shannon's amazing sister who came to watch the other kids (oh wait, that's me!) J/K We were all very excited to meet Lizzy, especially Ellie! Ellie informed us all that Lizzy is her baby sister and no one else could hold her. The Dummer family is complete, unless I can talk my sister into adopting one more for me to hold!
Now on to the next great news! Ellie had her heart echo done in November. We (or I should say I) was thinking that her next open heart surgery would be in March. I am happy to tell you all that I was wrong. Her heart looks amazing!!! There has not been any real significant changes since her last echo was done. Great news!!!! The cardiologist is going to try to postpone surgery until late summer or early fall! Also, Ellie is no longer tube fed. She is a big fan of 5 guy burgers and fries. I guess that saying no news is good news applies to the Dummer family.
Check back frequently because I now have full access to the Dummer blog and will update it! Shannon picks sleep over blogging. I don't blame her. She is an amazing mom to her 5 kids! Hopefully she can get some sleep soon! Love you Sis!

Thanks so much for hacking into the blog to post. I have been wondering about the wonderful Dummer family. So glad to read an update. I must admit that I would also choose sleep over posting. Glad to hear that Ellie's heart looks so good!! Hooray for great news!! Joshua's cardiologist thinks he won't be big enough for surgery until he is at least four. Great to hear what is happening at the Dummer house!!
Congratulations on the new baby! And on Ellie's good prognosis! Such happy news and much to be thankful for this holiday season. :)
I am a counselor in our new ward's primary presidency and I'm having a lot of deja vu. The president reminds me a lot of you! Dark hair, smart, and everything!
I'm so glad there is an update on the family!! So so happy to hear that the adoption went well (I'm a happy adoptive mom to 3 boys) Ellie's news is wonderful. I'm so glad miracles have not ceased!!
That is such fabulous news, both about Ellie and the darling new baby!
I LOVE it!! What a great sister you have Shannon! I love the update and that is amazing about Ellie! We sure love seeing that little Lizzy around! She is beautiful! I can't wait to hear about christmas through the eyes of your sister ;)
So happy for you!
Finally, a hacker who does some good! Thanks for the update - I have been wondering. Congrats on the beautiful baby and great news for Ellie. Merry Christmas!
