Check Up and More Good News

This past Friday, I took Marlee for her 6 month checkup.  This little bundle of sweetness now weighs 11lbs and 7ozs and is 24 inches long!  I'm so excited that she is finally gaining some weight. She is still not where she should be for a 6 month old but she's getting there. I do believe we are going to have to go up to a size 2 diaper! The 1's are getting a little too small. :) That makes this momma's heart happy! 

We also got the results from the lab work she had done last Monday.  With DiGeorge Syndrome, patients can have low levels of calcium and high levels of phosphorus in the blood.  They can also have issues regarding the maturing of T-Cells and poor immune function. Praise the Lord, all of her blood work came back normal which is HUGE! I don't know if it could change in the future, but for right now.....I'll take it!

As of now, she is scheduled to have surgery for next Monday. I do know that the cardiologists is wanting to talk to the ENT so we are just waiting to find out if they will still do the surgery or post pone it.  Please pray for guidance and wisdom between the coordination of the two Drs.  I don't want Marlee going through anything that she doesn't need to go through.

I recently started introducing some solid food to Marlee. So far, she has tried rice cereal, peas and carrots and seems to like all of them!

I love this pic!! Love the way Marlee is looking at me! Sweet little Eli loves Marlee and couldn't wait to hold her!

Precious!!

 Getting big!

She's looking at me like "Momma....seriously?" LOL!

There's that sweet smile!! :)

Yesterday I was able to attend the 43rd birthday celebration of my home church that I grew up in and the church that my mom and brother and his family still attend.  It was so good seeing old friends and meeting new people who have been praying for Marlee. 

I can't thank each and every one of you enough for your continual prayers!! We appreciate it more than you know!!

Love,
