So first of all, February 14th was not just Valentine's day, but it was Congenital Heart Defect Awareness Day (well technically week - Feb 7th - Feb 14th). There is a book called "47 Hearts" written by a pediatric cardiac surgeon. I have yet to read it, but it is VERY inexpensive. You can order it for your kindle or if you don't have one you can download a free kindle reader to just read it on your computer. Anyway, the importance of this book, not only does it have great reviews, but 100% of proceeds go to fund a child in need's heart surgery. We are blessed that we were able to give Lilly her surgery. It's hard to even try to imagine the thought of not being able to give her this gift and what that would mean. So belated Happy CHD Awareness day.
Secondly, we had a great heart pizza party for Lilly this past Sunday!! Eric made Lilly a great heart shaped chocolate cake - too bad Lilly couldn't enjoy it. Next year! We had family and friends over and it was a lot of fun.
Here is a picture of Lilly and her heart cake! Don't you love the party dress :)
On a side note - Lilly is recovering well from surgery. Her incision is healed and looks great. She still has some physical restrictions, but those should only last a couple more weeks! Her sleep, however, is still TERRIBLE!! Ahhhhh. Otherwise she seems pretty happy and content. Eating great as well. She went to the doctor a couple days ago and weighed 13 pounds!!! She has gained nearly 2 pounds in 3 weeks - amazing! She hadn't gained that much in 3 months! She's slowly moving out of her 3 month clothes too. We go to the cardiologist on Tuesday, so I can't wait to see how much more she gained in the past week!
