It's been 4 weeks since Corinne's surgery and her recovery is amazing. She has been without the ng tube for a week now and is gaining weight. She had a bad cold & ear infection a couple of weeks ago (which is why we had to continue the tube feeds), but she didn't let it get her down. Her incision is healing nicely and should be the only physical reminder of her VSD; we don't expect that she will have any medical or development problems in the future now that the defect has been repaired. We are so thankful that the surgery was a success and that our baby girl is thriving.
On another positive note, we have good news about J (We have to choose our words carefully on this topic, which is why the following explanation may sound a bit guarded). We are optimistic about his future in our household (I originally typed "his future with our family," but he will always be part of our family, no matter what happens...). We still have a bunch of "red-tape" to get through, but everything seems to be moving in the right direction.
Meredith has been a big help over the last few weeks and is an amazing big sis to Corinne and J. She is also excited to be testing for her senior yellow belt in tae-kwon-do on Saturday.
We appreciate all of the prayers, support, and encouragement we have received over the last few months. We have been abundantly blessed. Please continue to remember J's situation in your prayers as we muddle through the legal muck that is to come.
