Up, up and away

For us, this is normal.  I did not call my husband to come home from his business trip.  I sorely missed being close to family but greatly appreciated friends who stepped in to help.   I did not feel like this was critical but since I determined long ago to enjoy every day I'm sure it seemed odd that I was taking pictures and laughing with my baby as the day progressed.

Three weeks in a row at Texas Children's Hospital

I'll start with our most recent and work back.  This week she was looking  little dusky and throwing up (not all too uncommon for us).  Doctors decided to life flight her to TCH just in case her stent in her heart was failing.  It turned out she was anemic and was given a blood transfusion.  It feels like we gave her a boost of energy, we can barely keep up.

On the 11th we went in for a heart cath.  It was determined that her stent was full of scar tissue (I have a similar issue and unfortunately passed it on).  So, instead of replacing it in a couple of years, it lasted 6 months.

The 3rd we went for feeding and learned that we are NOT ok with this method.  The therapist wanted to create aversion and then "work through it."  We aren't going back but have once again started a wean through "growing independent eaters."  We are on day 3 and she has greatly picked up her solid feeds but hasn't changed much on liquids.
