Tova Bayla Socher was born on February 24, 2008. After a rough start, she has thrived. Bayla currently enjoys:
• Playing with her parents, Shoshana & Abe and her older siblings, Dalia, Dani, Coby, Anna and Naomi.
• Nursing--a major accomplishment, given her long hospital stay, heart surgery and low muscle tone during the first few weeks of life.
• Messily eating mashed carrots, mushy peas, challa etc--and feeding others (her dog, her parents) the leftovers.
• Visiting her grandparents, Tammy & David, and cousin Samantha around the corner.
• Kissing and waving hi.
• Sitting up and rolling around.
• Blocks, books and eloquent babble.
She is scheduled for open heart surgery at the Cleveland Clinic on January 14th to correct an AV Canal defect and Tetralogy of Fallot. This is a serious, complicated surgery, but her surgeon Dr. Constantine Mavroudis is a world-famous pediatric heart surgeon and Bayla is a very strong baby.
Shoshana and I will try to update this blog, which will replace her earlier carepage, on a regular basis.

ReplyDeleteHow long will she be in the hospital and would she like visitors? (I'd leave the toddlers at home of course).
