Upswing

Well you know how it goes.....as soon as someone in the house gets better another person gets sick.  Poor Aidan.  He woke-up Tuesday morning with a terrible stomach bug and had to stay home from school.  Mommy had to cancel my OT since Ms Julie works with so many medically fragile children we didn't want her to carry any germs to them.  So I missed another therapy.  After much TLC Aidan recovered.  It was such a beautiful day; an unusual 70 degrees.  So Mommy called Ms Beth my PT and asked if she could come and we would do our session outside.  Ms. Beth was all for it....so out came my sunglasses.  Up until now I have not been a fan of these things, but they really do make all the difference.  I am still really sensitive to light. 

Ms. Beth was so impressed.  I am sitting better each day, up to 6 minutes at a time.  On Wednesday Mommy and I had an appt with my GI doctor.  I'm still recovering from some unexpected tummy issues.  We found out the hard way that my tummy is still not tolerating cereal....it backs me up for days.  So to counteract it we did some med tweaking and are hoping that will address things. 

Today was a great day.  Mommy went to school to watch Aidan get an award at school for his continuing drive to learn.  We are so proud of him.....I wish I could have been there.  Afterwards we decided to bundle up and go for a walk.  It was yet another beautiful day in Denver.  Mommy was showing Ms. Kelly so new paths to take with me and we decided to stop by the park and see what I thought of the swings. I have never been on a swing before and have to say I loved it. 

 Things continue to move in the right direction.  I have decided to start sleeping through the night.  Mommy still consults with Ms. Anne, but for the most part I am sleeping like I should be.

 I have also been tolerating the car seat and stroller more and more.  Summer is just around the corner and I can't wait to take my first trip to the pool.  Just a few more weeks and I will take my first trip to Louisiana.  I can't wait to meet everyone who were so thoughtful and prayed for me. 

Making progress

Last week was a difficult one.  My breathing became worse so Mommy had to take me back to the doctor.  Dr E got me hooked up with a nebulizer which helped get my O2 level back up....it had gotten pretty low and had everyone really concerned.

Once my O2 was back up I regained my strength and energy and was ready to get our and about.  I have really been enjoying getting out of the house.  Daddy was out of town so Mommy, Ms Kelly and Aidan took meout to dinner.  We had a blast and I even got to eat dinner like a big girl at the restaurant with everyone. 

 

I'm finally getting over this RSV things.  My cough is lingering but I have been able to move back up to my bedroom.  Mommy and Daddy are back on track and trying to get me out every weekend.  This weekend I went to the mall and spent some time in my big girl stroller.  I am tolerating being in the stroller and car seat much better.  It seems to be a combination of things, but my tummy has been much better lately.  I have gone poo every day for the past week and a half......without the assistance of a stimulant.  That is a really big deal.  We are not sure if I have just figured it out or if it is related to the virus.  Who knows but we all think it is great. 

On Friday I turned 10 months old and as my present I cut my first tooth.  Mommy found out the hard way and informed me we are done with nursing!!!  Sorry Mommy.

Please ignore the large scratch on my head.  I was working hard on my exercises when our crazy dog stepped on my face.  Lets just call it a character scar.
