Merry Christmas

Happy Holidays to all of you. We have been very busy. We are getting all of our gifts wrapped and our lights are all set for outside. Carley is so excited this year too. She is now three today! We had a great time at her Backyardigans birthday party. Two earth angels gave Carley's party. It was great fun to see her smile and have all of our friends and family near. Caroline and Carley both go to the doctor today. It will be a long morning and very exhausting for me. Caroline will get her second RSV - synagis shot. Out home health nurse also weighed her today and surveyed her developmental and physical milestones. She is really responsive and on track for most things - we are thrilled! She can not roll over yet and she is still struggling to hold her head up from a tummy position. I sent out pictures yesterday for Christmas and hope all of you will receive them soon. I have not posted in a while, but we are having some progress. Caroline now takes 70 cc for volume per feeding. She is still gaining at a steady rate too! She weighed 9.6 today! It is nice to see those numbers reversed. I am physically tired and worn out, but things have been running smoothly thus far. Our appointments have slowed some. We will have PT Dec 19 and surgery for our mickey button on Dec. 24 at 9am. I would love to hear from you all too!

It's good to see your update and hear that things are going well. I think of you often and check for updates.

I can only imagine what life must be like this time of year in the Abbott household, especially with Carley's big day and the added challenges of 2007. Be encouraged -- though our tree is up, the pilgrims are still on the dining table from Thanksgiving. (Please keep you LACK of surprise to yourself.)

Well, love you all. Praying for Christmas Eve.
