Kate's as big as a 10 lb. Turkey!



We spent Thanksgiving this year at Grandma and Grandpa Roper's house. It was quite a process packing for 2 days, but we did it. We pretty much took everything but the kitchen sink. We had a great time. While down in Fillmore, we had family pictures taken at Grandpa's farm. It was such a beautiful day.


Kate had her appointment with the Cardiologist last Tuesday. He couldn't believe how much she has grown. She weighed in at 10 lbs. 1 oz. and measured 22 inches. We talked about the time frame for her surgery. She will need to get an Echocardiogram before Christmas and it looks as though her surgery will be a couple weeks after that. We discussed the surgery and what to expect. The procedure will take about 6 hours. After, she will go to the Pediatric ICU where she will be there about a week and then she'll recover in the infant unit for 2-3 weeks. It's going to be a very trying time, but we have so much love and support that we will make it through it.


Kate also had her Synagis shot Wednesday(the RSV vaccine). She is such a little trooper. She cried when the nurse initially gave her the shot, but was just fine the rest of the day. She will continue the shot each month until March.
