The Beckham Scadlock Show

We have had requests to speak about our cute little kiddo at a few luncheons and such in the next year, but today Beckham made his first television appearance. You can watch it by clicking the "Beckham's News Story" link below.

Beckham's News Story

Eric Hansen from KCCI Channel 8 came over to our house and filmed our little guy for about half of an hour and asked us a few questions. On queue our children decided that only tears and screams were what they were going to give the camera, but the guys did a pretty good job and still getting a few 'happier' shots of our cute little monsters. Enjoy.

Update 11-17-07

We apologize for how long it has been since our last update.....we know that we sort of left you at a cliff hanger. Just to update you, Beckham is now out of the hospital. He was in the hospital for less than 24 hours and has not needed to return. His Tacro levels have remained at an acceptable range and he seems to not have been effected at all by his hospital visit.

Since then we visited Iowa City for Beck's check-up. We brought the old bottle of Tacro so that it could be tested. The results came back and they showed that his Tacro was mixed incorrectly and there was almost no Tacro in the bottle. This is such a serious mistake!! We ourselves did not realize how serious this was until Beckham's transplant doctor told us that he had heard of this happening one other time. He said that by the time they checked they boys Tacro level and found out how low it was, it had already permanently destroyed the boys heart.

But enough of the glum, Beckham is doing very well and has been so much fun lately. He is smiling and cooing non-stop. He even has a cold right now and is still just as happy as can be. That is so much different than our experience with colic Gwen. Beckham is also going to be a star beginning next week. Next Tuesday afternoon KCCI Channel 8 news here in Des Moines is coming over to do a little 'feel good' piece on our little man for Thanksgiving. Better start cleaning the house. For those that are not in Des Moines, we will try to tape the special on Beck and place it on our next post.

Much love and thanks,
Nate, Kim, Crazy Gwen, and the Beckmeister

(Gwen is getting ready for next week's Holy War)
