We had our bi-monthly cardiologist appointment today.  Riley is up to a chunky 9 lbs 15 oz.  Things are progressing nicely with her and Dr. Border is recommending that her next appointment will be like a pre-op assessment.  They will do an echocardiogram and who knows that else to complete that assessment, but we'll take it as this means we are one step closer to setting a surgery date.

Zoey had her Holiday Show & Party at Appletree ABC for her Pre-K class today.  The kids performed several songs, like Rudolph and Feliz Navidad.  They were absolutely adorable belting out their songs together.  After the performances, they kids got to celebrate with a small party will yummy stuff like decorating their own sugar cookies.  The kids did a book exchange and the teachers gave them all goody bags so they were all way excited.

Josh & I had a meeting with Riley's daycare teachers today too.  Luckily the manager has had experience with a g-tube (they said the kid wouldn't live past 6 months and he's 11 years old today!)  but the actual teacher, Ms. Nadia is definitely a bit nervous.  I typed out a 3-page instruction manual, complete with photo instructions with arrows for the feeding pump, so hopefully that will help.  I told her that after a couple of weeks she'll be an old pro at handling Riley.  The upside is that they have a small enrollment of infants right now, so Riley will be the 5th baby in the room, so that makes me feel a lot better.
