One month ago this evening, we arrived home with Maura Rohama! It is so hard to believe that we have only been home a month because it feels like she has always been here snoozing in her crib. What a whirlwind this last month has brought for our family but through it all, she has been such a trooper - a happy trooper at that! Tonight, for the first time, she cried for almost 2 hours. I tried everything to calm her down but nothing worked....finally, I realized the culprit - 3 teeth that are about to erupt through her lower gum. She is now asleep and I am hoping that she does well tonight - especially considering that she will have to be given medicine twice throughout the night and I need her to cooperate and not spit it out everywhere.

Now, for an update on Maura Rohama's heart. We went to the cardiologist on 12/21/09 and after an ultrasound, we were told that she is no better but no worse either. Her Coreg was doubled, so we'll see if that helps her heart get stronger and shrink to a normal size. We go back to the cardiologist on January 14, so we'll see what the ultrasound shows on that day. The cardiologist stated that she may never get any better or that we may see improvement at the next visit. She said to prepare for it to take even 6 months or a year before we see any more change. She is very straight-forward with us, and I totally appreciate that as I can't stand to be lied to or for the truth to be candy-coated. We left the visit very upbeat because at least she isn't any worse! We are still praying and trusting God - she is His first and foremost, afterall!
