Two Weeks at Home

We start physical therapy on April 24th and occupational therapy on May 3rd. It has taken a long time to get these appointments scheduled and by the time we get to PT on Tuesday the therapist is going to wonder why we were so anxious. Eliza has started rolling from front to back and back to front. On Friday afternoon she sat up unsupported for 10 minutes. She has started at least putting her feet on the ground when she's assisted to stand, and she accomplished all of this with bilateral ear infections.


She has been having some difficulty digesting her formula and started to get fussy. I called the pediatrician and suggested maybe we change her formula. The nurse requested that we bring her in before we change anything...so that's what I did. We left the pediatrician's office with a prescription for antibiotics for her ears, a stool softener to put in 2 bottles a day (for up to three months), two suppositories to clean her out, and ear wax softener. Poor kid!!! Apparently she has had the ear infections since we got her. She just doesn't fuss. She's so used to not having her needs met she just puts up with pain and discomfort (and smiles through it).

The Sunday school class at church put together a quilt to welcome Eliza. It was presented to us on Sunday April 15th. Members of the congregation added their well wishes with permanent markers. It is a treasure!


Eliza is still pretty sure she does not like baths. She at least smiles when it's over. So do we!!


Kyle goes back to work on Monday. We've got Eliza on a pretty good schedule, and since her ears are getting better I think we'll do fine. Hopefully we are through with suppositories.
