Well, not exactly an update but we got answers to some specific questions we asked back in January when we first got her referral.
She has had her heart surgery!! The report is dated 3/28/07 and it says that she is still in the hospital but it doesn't say when the surgery actually was, just that it was "successful."
This is very exciting news but also so sad to know that she is in the hospital without a mommy or daddy :-(
Our agency assured us that the orphanage will have sent a caregiver to stay with her in the hospital and she will help with the care and feedings etc.
If her surgery has gone as it should then it is likely that that is the only surgery she will need. As much as we were prepared to have her surgery here in the US and go through all the worry and sleepless nights associated with it, it's a relief to know it is already done.
As for the less dramatic but still exciting details of the report...
She now weighs 19.8 pounds, she's 28.3 inches tall, and she has 2 teeth :-)
I plotted her growth on a Chinese growth chart and she is in the 50th percentile for weight and 10th percentile for height. Sounds just perfect to us!
