I want to thank everyone who I've spoken with by voice or type in the last couple of days...so many words of encouragement and prayer. Our family is very lucky!
Lydia had a good day today...eating like a little piglet...most bottles- 4 oz was just not enough, so by all means, I gave the little lady a little more! :) We went to the lab for her blood test to check her thyroid levels...they did a foot stick this time, and she did ok. It just takes so long when they do the foot stick and she, of course, cries the whole time...I would too. She got through it though...and was smiling as soon as they were done.
A sweet quote from an innocent child....
On the way home from the second dr's office yesterday, Audrey asked, "Did she do it?" I didn't know what she was talking about so I asked, "Who?" She said, "The doctor." Intrigued, I asked, "Did she do what?" Her reply: "Did she fix Lydia?" I told her that all the doctors were working on it, and they weren't sure exactly what needed to be fixed quite yet. She seemed to be satisfied with that..."Oh."
Funny stuff with Elise-
She is starting to develop a little more mature sense of humor...making jokes herself. I've said how she likes to repeat stuff over and over again lately. Last night, Mom and Dad were here...mom picked up food from the deli at Walmart. When Elise started eating, I gave her some ketchup...when she started to ask for more, I said, "I'm going to pick up the ketchup." Then she started saying, "Momma up up..." which of course meant, "Momma picked up the ketchup." Then she would shake her head "no" and say, "Maw-Maw up up.." and we would say "no, Grandma didn't pick up the ketchup." I asked, "Who picked up the ketchup?" and she said, "See up up" (pointing to herself with a big grin) which meant--Elise picked up the ketchup...we could tell that she was trying to make a joke...so we bought in: "Elise didn't pick up the ketchup!!" She kept repeating over and over...all the different people in the room. The silly grin on her face was so cute...I could tell that she thought it was hilarious and that she was creating the joke. It made my day.....needed that!
