MUSC check-up…
Mary Clare had a check up yesterday, and after along ride down to Charleston, all looks well. Now that she is sleeping through the night she, obviously, sleeps much less during the day which makes for more difficult car trips! Mel went with us so Mommy was able to sit in the back and entertain munchkin.
She weighs 13 lbs 4 oz and is 25 inches long. (At almost 5 months, she is now a bit bigger than my brother was at birth!) Her oxygen levels were actually pretty high and in the 80’s, which was a relief. She has been a bit bluer lately, which tells us that surgery is getting closer. Our next visit will be pre-op day on Nov. 30. Please keep her in your prayers as we go through this next surgery!

Hi Kerri! YAY for Mary Clare doing so well! She is gaining weight nicely and that will come in handy! I will be looking for updates as Mary Clare’s Glenn approaches, I think you will be surprised at how quick the surgery and recovery will be for the Glenn compared to the Norwood – big difference! Lots of prayers, have a great Thanksgiving!!
