Well it has been a while since we have posted an update on our daughter Samantha.  She has fully recovered from her surgery and oh boy she is now a handful lol. She is an eating machine and is now nearly 20 pounds.  Sammie is clapping, waiving, blowing kisses, and has discovered her voice. Yelling is now part of her repertoire. We can’t leave her unattended for more than a minute especially on our bed.  She is sitting up, rolling, rocking, kneeling, and would pull herself up if she can grab something to do so.  The da-da that she was saying has turned to ya-ya-ya-ya-ya-ya.  It sounds like she is singing one of her dad’s Capoeira songs. The past few weeks have been really rough between RSV, a stomach virus, ear infections, pink eye, colds and swollen tonsils. Sammie has all also been snoring really loud.   Her pediatrician recommended we see an Ear, Nose, & Throat doctor.  She may need to have her adenoids removed.  We really hope not and hope that her little immune system has just not had a chance to recover from everything. Her next appointment with the Cardiologist is May 7^th. They will be doing another catheter procedure to check her pulmonary pressures and make sure that her surgery has corrected her problems.  Thanks everyone for the continued prayers and support for our baby girl.
