We were discharged today and are home! Feels so good to be home. Angelica is doing great. You wouldn't even know she had two surgeries in the past two weeks. The g tube is easy to use and Angelica is continuing to do well with taking the bottle. It's nice to get the NG tube out of her nose. We have several follow up appointments to schedule. The hearing test done at the hospital showed Angelica does not hear and the hearing devices we hoped could help her will not be helpful. She has internal structures but they are not picking up sound. Next surgery will be on her heart and can be anywhere from 6 - 8 months. Then we can focus on other options for hearing. There is some new technology out there known as auditory brain stem implants It is just now being tested on children. At this point and time Angelica is deaf. This was very upsetting to us but I have faith in Gods plan. Knowing that God has blessed with such an amazing child. She is so sweet. So fun to watch her take everything in that she looks at. She loves watching tv, looking at lights and snuggeling 😊. We are so very in love with our baby girl and so grateful to be given the opportunity to raise such an amazing little one.

I will continue to update this blog with doctor visits and updates on Angelica. Thanks for the love and prayers!

Amanda, Chris and Angelica
