We had some GREAT news today. Marcae spoke with the nurse practitioner today and came up with a plan for Kate to come home. Basically, she needs to maintain her temperature and gain some weight. They feel that she is well enough to come home until she has the Nissen Surgury. It's kind of a bitter sweet decision.....we are so excited for her to come home, but are scared to death :) She is still gaining weight fast and tonight she is now over 5lb 11oz. She seems to change and develop new characteristics almost every day. Mom and dad are constantly amazed at how long her hair is getting, even though she might be getting a bald spot :( Hopefully all will go well with her gaining weight and she will be over the weight the doctors would like her to be long before her scheduled surgery, so weight isn't an issue. The doctors give better chances of success the more she weighs.
Grandma Roper came to visit today. It's always fun to have visitors. In fact, Kate has met many people in her short 6-weeks in the hospital. We are so grateful for many good friends and family.
