What a day today!  Josephine had a few tests done to check her organs and bone structure.

Great news – her heart is fabulous and beautiful!  So the Tetrasomy 8p has not affected that at all!  Such a relief.  The pelvic and abdominal ultrasound were also positive and showed nothing unusual, other than her left kidney is located in her pelvic region instead of in her back.  But it is functioning properly and is a normal size for her age.

We are still waiting on the skeletal scan results, but the doctors tell us that no news is good news, which is also a relief.

Since we had to cancel Josephine’s 1st birthday party, we decided to bring the cake to the hospital for the doctors and nurses to enjoy.  And boy did they enjoy, as did we!  Even the birthday girl had a few bites.

With all of the excitement, Josephine was pretty worn out and took a relaxing nap, giving me a time to relax as well.

Although we were in the hospital, I know our Birthday Princess had a great day and fun celebrating!  Life is a gift and we are thrilled to have Josephine in our lives!  We love you!
