Here is the latest video of Catherine. She weighs 12# 8 oz. and is 7 months old. She gained a pound last week alone. She is going to get fitted for hearing aids next week. Yesterday she saw an eye doctor who gave us some patches to cover her left eye so that the vision in her right eye will improve since it seems that she doesn't use that eye as well as her left. He also said that she will likely need surgery to correct strabismus (crossed eyes) early next year. Other than that she remains healthy and gaining weight. Thank you for your prayers!
