Back in the right direction

Claira's back up to 12 lbs and 3 ozs ... recovering from the loss last week. Dr. Hughes is always sweet to be optimistic, but I hate it when she loses. This weight check was out last visit until her surgery. It almost felt like the end of a chapter. He said he's sad that her heart condition is what brought her to him, but he's glad that it did because he's enjoyed getting to know us.
Tonight Tom and I went to the Oklahoma Blood Institute and donated blood through their directed donor program. Our blood will go directly for Claira's surgery. That's a comfort to both of us.
