3 Months Old!

Emma Kate is 3 months old!

She is doing great and she's such a joy! We went to see Dr. Stone (pedi) a couple days ago for some blood work. He was very pleased with how her bottle feedings were going. In fact, last night I got her to drink 90mls (abt 3oz) at one feeding! I was very excited about that. She spit up some, but it wasn't too bad. Next Tuesday is Emma Kate's heart catheterization. We have to be in admitting at 6am! And it will definitely be an overnight stay at the hospital. Sad. But honestly, I'd rather be there just to make sure we are in good hands if something goes wrong. I pray that EK will do well and she will recover well from the cath. She will have to be intubated for the procedure, which I was not happy to hear. But when we see her, she won't be intubated. I just hate to think of all that baby is going to have to go through again in the coming weeks and months. We don't know yet when her Glenn (2nd surgery) will be. After the cath next week, her cardiologist will send all the info gathered from the cath and send it over to Dr. Kirshbom (her surgeon) in Atlanta. They will make a determination on the surgery based on her information. So maybe a week or two after the cath we'll know something more definite. I know that this surgery is supposed to be the easiest of the three, from what we've been told. But, hey, it is heart surgery and it is going to be so hard to hand over my little precious girl to have her chest opened up again. There are always risks. Thank you for your prayers! We so much appreciate and treasure them! Please continue to pray for Emma Kate. We are so grateful for her and for the past three months she's been our little girl!
