4 months home and Callie's upcoming surgery

























































Wow, it's been awhile since I've posted to this blog but if all goes well we're planning to use it to post updates during Callie's upcoming surgery so that family and friends can keep up with what's going on. Callie has continued to adjust to family life in an awesome way. She thoroughly enjoyed a trip to the mountains and her very first Halloween, as well as decorating the tree for Christmas, which we did early this year due to her upcoming surgery. After her heart catheterization, it was determined that she would indeed require surgery for her Scimitar Syndrome, and that surgery was scheduled to take place today. However, we received a call yesterday from her surgeon telling us that her surgery is being postponed until Wednesday, the day before Thanksgiving. So, we wait. We haven't received the final confirmation yet but we are thinking that her surgery will take place sometime around 10:30 or so on Wednesday morning, and it should last around 3 hours. After that, she will be in the ICU for one or two nights, then she will be moved to a regular room. She will probably remain in the hospital for 4-5 days after her surgery. SInce I haven't done a very good job of updating over the past couple of months, I'm posting a few pictures of what's kept us so busy.
