Thursday

Beautiful day here.  Yesterday and today were just about perfect!  We heard an update on Oaklyn.  She had a followup in Iowa City yesterday.  Her oxygen levels before her surgery were in the 70s to low 80s.  After her surgery she''s stating in the 90s!  She's walking just holding on to someone's finger.  She hasn't been getting her pump feedings.  They are doing syringe feedings and she's doing great with them.  She's eating yogurt, frosting, and Lucky Charms marshmallows!!  She weighs 27 pounds!  Best news of all is she doesn't have to go back to Iowa City until February!  She'll probably have to have a heart transplant sometime in her future - probably in her teens or 20s, so we'd appreciate it if you'd keep her in your prayers.  She is a very special little girl who will turn 2 in January!

Today I mixed up a batch of peanut clusters.  Dave helped me spoon them out!  Yummy!!

Tonight we went to the Botanical Gardens with Bob & Ann.  We took my scooter so Bob wouldn't have to walk the gardens.  It was a big lifesaver!  The Gardens are decorated for Christmas and are just beautiful!!

More later...
