Update on Cate

Just to let everyone know that we had our final appointment for Cate. My fellow adoptive mama, Val called in a favor and we were squeeeeeezeeeeedddd in for an appointment with one of Salt Lake City's best pediatric cardiologist. Val said she had to offer up a free veterinary check up to the cardiologists new kitty in exchange for the appointment. Val is a great friend, veterinarian and mother of two beautiful girls who are also from China. Thank You Val.

After seeing every kind of doctor a two year old could see we officially have a clean bill of health for sweet Cate. Our children's hospital is top notch and David and I have feel like every member of Cate's  medical team truly cares about her. Cate still receives occupational therapies 2 x's per month and is progressing well. Carrie is her therapist and Cate just loves when she comes to the house. David loves his days with Cate, daddies really know how to play with children. Thank you David for not bothering to do her breakfast dishes or put her sweater away. Every time I come home from work after a Daddy day I am blessed to know that she was loved and played with so why care about the dried up oatmeal. You are a wonderful father.

Today is three months with Cate and our lives feel more blessed than we could  have ever imagined. As I type this John David brought me "little" and she sits in my lap leaning into me as if we have been together forever.  She is  child of God, an orphan no more.  We have made a solemn vow to raise her in the light and love of God.
