Cate returned home a day after surgery on March 7. She seems to be a different baby now. She is quiet and sleeps more often. The doctor is a little worried about her weight gain and was thinking about putting her back in the hospital to monitor her weight. As of last week she had only gained 1 1/2lbs since coming home on Jan12. A bunch of tests were ordered to rule out any possible reason for her slow weight gain. We have a sweat test on Thurs and should get some final results from everything back in the next few weeks. She went back on fortified milk and gained 6oz in 3 days! She now weighs 5 lb, 14 oz. She's getting a big double chin. :) Hopefully there is nothing wrong. Hopefully we just had to change up a couple things. Also, the school system (Area 13) came out today to give us their report based on their prior meetings with Cate. They feel as of now Cate is where she is supposed to be developmentally for her corrected age.

She is so beautiful! What a pretty little girl. :) I'm so glad the surgery went well and you got to bring her home the next day. We have been thinking about you guys, and praying. Hopefully things will turn around now and she'll start gaining weight like crazy. Keep packing the pounds on that double chin, Cate! Have a good week, you guys...xoxoo
