Change in surgery date




The surgeon's office called on Friday to let me know Sophia's surgery has been canceled. He said that she was doing so well that they want to give her one more month to grow and put on a little more wieght. She is now 11 pounds 4 ounces! A lot of heart babies have trouble gaining weight but not our Sophia. So the new surgery date is November 4th. I feel really good about waiting another month even though I cannot wait to have this surgery behind us. The surgeon also said that if Sophia waits another month she will most likely have a shorter hospital stay which is a plus! We are also meeting with the plastic surgeon on October 5th to take a look at the skin tag on Sophia's nose. The skin tag is going to be removed during heart surgery after her heart is all taken care of, this way she won't have to be put out again to remove the tag. I will be glad when that is gone as well because she is discovering her hands and how usefull they can be (she grabs everything blankets, hair, etc.) so i really want to remove the skin tag before she grabs ahold of it. This month we are looking forward to Halloween! Halloween is one of my favorite holidays. Sophia is going to be a ladybug and we already have her costume. We are also looking forward to a visit from Auntie Lyndsey and Jacob!Please continue to pray for our baby girl!
