Adding One Mohr: See Cate Go

Again, it strikes me in such an odd way how it feels as though she has always been here and then again it is as though it is still brand new. Adoption gives such a different perspective to look through it really is one of the more difficult things you will do in your life. As a family we are forever changed and our lives will be enriched because of it.

Cate had done very well after her procedure and seems to be hearing us better , it's hard to know due to her age and of course the language difference. We will visit the ENT mid August and she will go through another battery of test. We have an appointment set up with an organization locally called DDI Vantage who will come into our home and do an extensive assessment on Cate's developmental delays and formulate a plan specific to her needs. One more new doctor, possibly two and we should have a big picture of her overall health, she will see the International Infectious Disease part of her team and they may or may not get her EEG done at that appointment. If not then she will see her pediatric cardiologist for that due to her diagnosis as an infant of having a PDA. We are hoping the PDA has self resolved.

Today we are going to take a short road trip to the Tetons and stay with some wonderful friends of ours for the weekend. We have been sticking close to home as Cate settles in and establishes her routine and learns about her environment. A quick break does the body and soul good, so I am hopeful we have a great first get away as a family. We are also looking forward to a visit from the Corley's before the start of school and, my cousin (feels like a sister) Michelle and her daughter Ellen are planning on a weekend the beginning of September. John and Mitzie will come to Utah for a visit later that same month.

Here are some of the latest pics of Cate and a video of her dancing in the kitchen.
