Our Glenn has been scheduled for December 21st, with pre-op on the 20th. Hunter and Maci will be gone until Christmas Day. We are ready to get this phase over with so we can get back to normal.
I restarted work this week with mixed emotions. On one hand I am so glad to get out of the house and once again have adult interaction. On the other hand Addy is to the stage where everyday she does something new! This week she has gone from just kicking and playing around in her pack andp lay to fully sitting up on her own in our laps and trying to roll over! She will no longer tolerate laying down or being held for more than a few minutes. We went today and bought her Christmas present but had to give it to her early since we won't get to use it while she is in the hospital. We got her a jumparoo bouncer and she absolutely loves it! She bounced and squealed in delight for a solid 45 minutes before getting tired of it! She is developing such a personality! Today was also our first time to try rice cereal. Dr Kavanaugh really doesn't want her to eat much food before her surgery but our girl needs to eat! She lapped it right off the spoon like she had been doing it for weeks. We are also pretty sure that Addy is teething since she constantly stuffs her entire hand into her mouth and is drooling worse than our bulldogs.
Although I hate to miss a single minute of these moments, Mommy must go back to work. We are trying to seal a contract on a bigger house for us at the moment. We are quite excited and it would be great to have a home where we are not tripping over one another. We won't move until the spring to give Addy time to recover but none the less it is still very exciting! Well, that is most of the new news for now, I will keep everyone updated!
We are a family of 5 and live outside of Nashville on a little farm that keeps us very busy! Our oldest is Hunter, who is 11 years old. Maci is stuck in the middle at 7 years old! Our baby girl Addy has complex CHD with Tricuspid Atresia/Hypoplastic Right Heart Syndrome. She is now 3 years old, has had 3 Open heart surgeries, and is totally perfect! We are on a heart journey where we love her half a heart with our whole hearts! Follow our family through this crazy thing called life!
Our Congenital Heart Warrior!
