Now That's Funny

We're one month post-op! I can hardly believe it. Only a month to go until we can put Abby on her tummy and not worry about how we pick her up because her breastbone will be completely healed. Some of you have asked what we're still concerned about and here is the short list of what we are still waiting to be resolved.

-- Lungs. Our cardiologist said it would be a number of months before they dry out. She takes medication every day to help speed that process (and it makes her pee like crazy, too)

-- Enlarged heart and therefore, a leaky valve. Again, time should resolve this.

--Anaemia. She's taking iron every other day and it does still wreak havoc on her little system. Some nights and days are worse than others but really painful gas is the thing that wakes her up screaming at night. Or, like tonight, crying every 15 minutes in her sleep.

Those are the biggest concerns still....but she is feeling great and happy --and MOST days we're getting more sleep and actually getting out in public places (with no germs!). Try to tune Grant and I out when you watch this video - we're acting like crazy people trying to get the girl to laugh. And, finally - laugh she did.
