Progress

Lily in her favorite toy -- her Exersaucer!

You leave for five minutes to work on your blog and then this happens....


I don't have to "set up" these pictures! She's quite good at digging her way through her toys to get where she wants to be!

We had Lily's IFSP last night with her team. We are going to try a sippy cup through speech instead of just a bottle. EI will try and purchase that for us. Also they are going to order a gair trainer along the lines of the one Christian McCants has which is customized. It will be a short little thing! Overall she is coming along very well. We want to get more nutrition into her so we will be going to Easter Seals for that as well as audiology. She was 18 lbs on Monday and now she is 17 lbs 15.5 oz. But they reminded me at the IFSP that heart kids burn alot of calories.



We had a well check today to get all her vaccines up to date. I knew we were a bit behind on those. She was supposed to get 8 but he didn't want them all at once. So we got 5 including MMR. The nurse at Illinois Department of Public Health that has followed Lily since the beginning called just the other day coincidentally. She said she wanted to let me know there had been an outbreak of measles in Dupage County and to make sure Lily gets the vaccine. Well now it's all done. She cried loudly during and right after the shots. I told her "All doone!" about three times and she just shut off the crying. Nurses/doctors are always amazed at that!



She had a earache diagnosed just this Monday and Dr. Liber said it seems to be on it's way out. But Sunday, Monday...what day is this? days and nights have been rather rough for her. Yeah for Tylenol!

Oh, sweet Lily! I love the new photos. She is just precious!

Hope your nights are getting better - we've had a couple rough ones, too - teeth related I think. But, yes, thank goodness for tylenol!

I'm so excited about Miss Lily's gait trainer; and I'm curious about the sippy cup, too - have you found one she likes?

Talk to you soon!

It looks like Lily is making great progress! Hope her earache is better soon.
