Appointments

I do not miss the days where my weeks were filled with appointments. Other than sick appointments, we haven't seen any doctor since August. This week I got a little taste of how it use to be. Monday started off with speech therapy. Things went good and Lauren is now starting to put two words together. She is making progress and starting to vocalize more. Tuesday was really our only free day and we enjoyed it.

On Wednesday Lauren went to see the ENT and GI doctor. We got really good news at the ENT appointment. Lauren's right vocal chord is still overcompensating, but he is seeing some quivering in her left paralyzed vocal chord. This means that there is some movement and later on she might qualify for shots in her vocal chord to help her quality of voice. We thank God for this good news. At her GI appointment Lauren was 19 pounds 7 ounces. We are almost at the 20 pound mark! We are going to try Lauren on a high fat diet until June and stop her night feedings because she just isn't tolerating them too well. I pray this diet works and that in June we can get the button taken out. She has no problem eating that's for sure. You should have seen her at breakfast shoveling in her food. She eats a lot better than her big sister.

On Thursday both girls had a checkup at the pediatricians office. They both got shots. I prayed that Kristen would not ask if she was getting shots because I knew she was. I wanted to be honest and tell her the truth and not lie. Thank God she never mentioned it. She did really good with everything. When the nurse came in with the little basket she then asked if she was getting a shot. I told her yes but that it would be really quick. All she said was that she didn't want to get a shot. Her leg is still red from one of her shots. They both did good and are growing like they should. I thank God for two healthy girls.
