Update

Sorry for the delay in an update.  Audra had her appointment with her cardiologist last Friday.  We didn't get to update after that because the stomach flu hit our house that same day and we have been recovering and getting back into things since then.

The cardiology appointment went well.  Audra's heart function looks good and she cooperated for most of the appointment.  We are on track to have her third surgery about a year from now - around her second birthday.  Of course, Audra is in control of this and may tell us if she needs to have this surgery sooner.  But for now, we are planning on March of 2014 for her surgery.  Some centers do the third surgery later, but UofM has not found compelling reasoning to do so.

The stomach flu struck my husband, older daughter and nanny first.  Audra only had a mild case and didn't vomit.  She did loose weight but we kept her from getting dehydrated   She is now back to gaining weight and eating like she is making up for lost time (or perhaps just lost weight).  When everyone else was on the mend, I got it.  But it was short lived.

Audra is cutting another tooth and may be getting two more on the bottom jaw.  She has been handling all these new teeth pretty well, considering she has gotten 4 teeth in 2 weeks with potentially 2 more coming in.  She is really a tough little cookie :)

We are also happy to report that Audra had her last shot against RSV for the season.  It isn't a fun trip into the doctor's for that (although our older daughter always wants to go and get a shot of her own).  Audra will have to get the monthly shots again next winter but we are glad that the season is almost over and we have fared well.

We cannot believe it is already March.  Soon enough we will be starting the "one year ago today" type posts.  Things have changed so much for us in the last year that it will be great to reflect on the differences from a year ago.
