Our day with Mikayla

We got home about an hour ago from Wisconsin. It has been a long day with a lot of driving but yet it was such a great day! How can I complain about anything when I just got to spend some time with Mikayla?! We got to spend a few hours with Mikayla this morning at her foster family's house. She was getting a bottle when we got there but the foster mom is so sweet she stopped feeding her so we could finish and then let us give her a little bath. It was great to just be able to hold her again and love on her. We did take a few pictures but they are not on our computer yet so those will have to wait, sorry.
Mikayla's doctor's appointment went well. She was a little wiggly for her echo, which wasn't great but she just wanted to see what was going on. After her echo we meet with the cardiologist. The doctor was very nice, which is always a blessing. Mikayla will have to have surgery on her heart it is just a matter of when. With what she has they usually do surgery between six and nine months but the doctor said in Mikayla's case he would rather see it closer to three or four months. He of course wants her to have the surgery in Wisconsin, which would kind of be crazy for us, driving five hours to stay in the hospital for one to three weeks does not sound great. He did say we could do the surgery in Rochester or Iowa City, we of course get to make that decision. We of course know that Mayo is excellent so in the long run that is probably what we will choose but we have a little time to think it over. The doctor wants to see her again in about four weeks, however we hoping that Mikayla will be in Iowa by that time so she may just see the cardiologist that we see for Jennifer, who is also very, very good. We will of course keep posting about Mikayla's heart as we know more.
We did have to laugh at the hospital today as we confused everyone. Mikayla had three parents, which really confused some people and then the nurse really wasn't sure who she should ask questions to or who Mikayla's parents were. It was kind of funny and we got a good laugh out of it. In a few weeks she will be ours and ours alone, hooray!! I will post some new pictures of both our girls when I get them on the computer, it is off to bed after a long day...
