I have some update information from the orphanage/foster parents on Celie Grace this morning.
They say that Celia is not on any medication and does not have any limitations due to the congenital heart disease. She healed well after the surgery and is now doing well. As you know, her 14mm VSD and PFO were both repaired right after they found her at 3 months old. There were some notes in her original hospital admission papers that indicated that she had pulmonary hypertension along with pneumonia. However, the pulmonary hyypertension was not mentioned in any of the follow up reports. The cardiologist and pediatric cardiologist who reviewed her file both said that they believe that the PH is no longer an issue as her repair was done at such a young age. I am encouraged by the fact that she is doing well and has no limitations.
She did not have a note with her when she was found.
They say her personality is active and restless (I think that loses something in the translation--maybe it means she likes to explore). She is smart, talkative, and cute. But of course, I could tell that already!!! I guess she is talking some already!
She enjoys the outdoors.
I asked what she does not like and their reply was:
"She likes new things, so if you give her a toy that she's been played with, she won't be happy."
They say that she adjusts quickly to new situations, is lively and out going and a lovely girl.
She is 31.6 inches tall and weighs 22 pounds. She has 14 teeth.
Their internet was down, so they will try to send the pictures of her tomorrow.

I know you are just beside yourself right now. I do hope your TA comes quickly. It looks like you will be traveling about the time frame we did for Wendy 4 years ago.
Can't wait to see new photos of her.
