It's been a fun and laid back day...Martin is away on a fishing trip until tomorrow. The girls and I had a good day together. We all went to therapy this morning...Lydia saw Susan (PT)...Elise saw Laura (OT)... and Audrey spent some time with Terry's daughter...it worked out great! Susan saw some good things with Lydia today, though she was on the verge of sleep the whole time. Susan says that Lydia just shuts down...she's not really tired...what a smart little cookie she is! I always find it uplifting to go to therapy with my girls...I was telling Susan today...I find that therapists are so positive, and doctors are so negative. I guess it's just the nature of their jobs, but I usually leave therapy visits feeling proud of what my girls are doing, and I usually leave dr visits feeling a little sad about what they are not doing.
Lydia has continued to be a little piglet today...yeah! You won't believe this....she took 7 oz before bed last night...that's right....I said 7! Today she has taken a minimum of 3 oz at every feeding...she even did a little better with her spoon feeding today. Thank you all for the wisdom and practical advice that you've shared about the feeding tube decision...I believe as you have told me...God will be our guide...He will lead us to the right decision...and lucky for us, God doesn't make mistakes.
I am just feeling so blessed today! We really had some good bonding time today...Audrey is really into singing and what I call- liturgical dancing lately. It is a real treat. She really gets into it. We all, including Lydia, love to watch her sing and perform. Audrey is also helping lately to calm Elise's "terrible two" fits. I know her frustration is heightened by her speech difficulties, but sometimes it's hard to remain patient. Of course, sometimes Audrey also induces some of those fits...that's just how it goes with sisters, I guess.
I feel like I'm rambling...as if I haven't done that before. :) Thank you God for all the blessings in my life and God bless you all who are connected to us through your love and prayers for Lydia and our family.

I am so glad you had a great day and that Lydia took 7 oz! Wow. I am glad you have such great therapists and that you leave there seeing the positive things God has provided. You are an amazing mom with an incredible Faith... may you always find Peace there. Hope today is as wonderful as yesterday. :)

Sounds like Easter brought you all blessings all around. Happy to hear Lydia's apetite has improved. She certainly seems to enjoy being mysterious doesn't she? As for the other two, sisters will be sisters. The bunny pic was precious. Elise looks quite comfy. I want to come for another visit soon, so i'll give you a call. Love you and keeping all of you in my prayers. Kris
