We are home safe from a short trip to Cleveland to see Ingrid's surgeon there. He was happy with her size and development (and smitten by her beauty) and is ready to proceed with her closure surgery!! We have scheduled her surgery for June 20 and expect to be in the hospital for about a week (5 days hopefully) and then in Cleveland for at least another week after she is out of the hospital.
Ingrid also saw a cardiologist in Cleveland: her VSD has closed, blood pressures in her arms and legs are good, and the echo of her coarctation repair looks good. There is a little turbulence around the repair but, because her blood pressures are good, there is nothing to worry about.
Ingrid is working on standing, cruising, scooting and, possibly crawling. She very clearly says "Dada" and "Kitty" and has a different inflection for "Doggy" and "Sister". We keep working on "Mama"!
I will post more regularly around the time of her surgery.
