Doing GREAT at home!

Abigail is weighing in at 8 lbs. 10 oz. now!! Eating and growing well. We have had no problems since we have been home. Thank the Lord! We have had many doctors appts in last two weeks. Cardiology last Friday. They did an echo cardiogram of heart (GOOD), EKG (GOOD), chest x-ray (GOOD), blood pressures (GOOD). Her oxygen saturation's have been within the normal range for her.We return for another visit on Friday. We had Hematology appt on Friday also, with the intent of drawing blood for a Lovenox level. Not surprising that they only tortured her not to get their sample. (Remember, they had difficult time while in the hospital drawing blood). We returned today for them to try again. Tried twice, unsuccessful. Plan to try again on Friday. It makes me so angry to watch them hurt her over and over. We went to Audiologist today to re-check her hearing test. She had failed the test in the left ear previously. Today we passed in both ears, YEAH!! These doc appts keeping me busy!

Abigail is a good sleeper during the night. She is letting me sleep 4-6 hours at a time. This is great because in the hospital they made us wake her up every 3 hours regardless to feed.

Big Brother, Jackson, is doing awesome!! Has had no problems with the new addition to our home. He is actually great with her, very caring, and very helpful. He talks about how her heart was fixed, asks if she's okay. Randomly goes up to her and talks to her, pats her head, tells her he loves her, gives her her pacifier. It's so sweet!

So overall, things are great in the Rorick household. Sorry its been so long since an update.... but, not too much to say lately since she doing so well. Her next surgery date is still undetermined. They say typically between age 3 mon- 6mon, but sometimes up to 9 mon. Just depends on how she does in the weeks and months coming up.
