USA!!!!

Zoe is now a United States citizen! We got her papers in the mail along with her certificate of citizenship! Zoe also had her first appointment to check on her heart. On March 13, 2013 Robert and I took her to see Dr. Mitchell. He is a highly qualified pediatric cardiologist and he was just wonderful with Zoe. It was a long 2 hour appointment including and EKG and 2 sonograms. This appointment was very hard on Zoe as she has regressed in her progress a little since then but is finding her way. The Doctor gave her a great report on her heart. He told us that the surgery they did in China was done very well and that she was very healthy and doing great. She has to see him once a year and told us signs to look for if she begins to have leakage between her lower valves as her heart grows. She is saying Mommy and Daddy in English now which is fun and she says, "excuse you" and "Bless you" and "Wuv you"! She continues to have a great appetite and loves ice cream! She has made a great transition into her toddler bed as she was struggling with nap time in her crib. So we gave the toddler bed a shot and she has done very well and sleeps through the night in her bed without getting up! She picked out some Disney princess sheets and some Hello Kitty sheets as those are her two favorite characters so far! Thank you for all your prayers for Zoe, keep them up!
