Lots of News!

Still eating well...since the hole in the nipple since last Thursday night.

Weighed in yesterday...11 oz gain in 5 days!!! Hip! Hip! Hooray! She now weighs 10 lbs. 10.5 oz. Our little heavy weight!! :) She has been sleeping all night since Thursday too. Today, I had to wake her up at ten minutes after 8!!! She was a little piglet...eating about 5- 6 oz at every feeding. Please pray that she keeps all of this up. She even withstood her rowdy sisters playing with her on the floor this evening. She has been great!!!

She had to repeat another blood test while at the dr yesterday. She needed to repeat a thyroid test that was a little elevated when she was in the hospital...still no results from that. It was a terrible experience...2 vein sticks with no luck...2 heel sticks to squeeze out 4 containers of blood. As horrible as it was, we both forgot all about it when she got on the scale. :) As always, the lab techs at the clinic were so kind and patient with us. I am thankful for their care.

PT appt Monday-
Susan was excited to see some improvement from last week. Her neck stiffness has gotten a little better, she was starting to hit some of the toys hanging on her car seat...everything was just a little better, but better at all is good, especially in just a week. She suggested some shiny toys...put jingle bells in a stainless steel bowl....also some cat balls with bells in the middle...hah! :) Susan will be out for 3 weeks with a hysterectomy. Lydia will see Terry, an OT at NTS, while Susan is out.

Susan also watched Elise run (and Audrey....it was wild with all three of them there:) She agreed that she twists at the waist when she runs. She noticed that she does not twist her shoulders while she runs, like most people. She suggested to help her strengthen her shoulders by having her practice reaching up for things.

Opthamologist appt- Friday...I'll try to update after that.

P.S. I am laughing out loud right now because as I type, Lydia is sitting on my lap facing the computer. She keeps kicking the keyboard drawer back in every time I get going. It is hilarious!
