Update for Tuesday, April 19

Hello friends. Miss Katherine Grace is doing very well these days. She weighs 5 pounds, 12 ounces and just received her 4th (and hopefully final) blood transfusion yesterday. Katie is still learning how to eat from a bottle, and is managing about 1/2 of her total food intake that way. Apparently, she thinks she's ready to be done with her feeding tube because she keeps pulling it out of her nose. Here is a photo of Katie from this weekend. She had pulled out her feeding tube, and just finished having a bath from Paul and Grandma Teresa.



We still think Katie has about a week left to go in the hospital. We've got a car seat test in the next day or so, and then once she's feeding well by herself then we're heading home. Here is one more picture we have to share with you - Miss Katie Grace has apparantly learned how to say Grace before her meal!

We'll update again soon.
