Some Pics

 

Such a stinker! She smiles the second the camera clicks. She really is a huge smiler though!!!!!

 

She also LOVES her bottle! I have found that she actually drinks it better when she holds it herself rather than me giving it to her. Sad for me, but good independence for her :)

Some Observations

Yesterday Fabi woke up from her nap screaming. I could tell she was in some serious pain. The good news is all the crying produced a good BM, the bad news is sometimes it seems this is the only time she'll actually have a BM (when she's crying, which causes straining).

I sent out a plea for help to a local group of awesome moms and got some great suggestions for getting those bowels moving. One suggestion I particularly like is Lactoluse - it's a laxative, but also has a probiotic quality to it. Sometimes Fabi's breath is stinky so I'm thinking it all ties together. No poop, stinky intestines and therefore breath.
I'll ask her Dr on Thursday for an RX for the Lactoluse.

Also, I've noticed that when I lay Fabi on her back sometimes she cries in pain. I"m not sure if it's the incision or her back. She's kinda twisted, which reminds me, I need to ask the Dr. what he got CAT scans of. I would like to know if he got a picture of her back and hips, specifically.

Also, they did ultrasounds on her kidneys and bladder - wonder what those pictures looked like.

So here is my working list of things to ask Dr. Ruge:

Weight
Head circumference
What the ultrasound showed of her kidney/bladder function/size
Any pictures of her back
What his prognosis is for her to walk
RX for Lactulose
RX for Flu Shot

Please feel free to add anything.

Feetsies.....

 

 

Fabi's Back

 

 

 

Here is a picture of Fabi's scar. It seems to be healing nicely.
Also, Sarah, I wanted to show you how Fabi's legs favor turning to the right. I work on stretching her out in the mornings - do you have any physical therapy type exercises I could also do???

 

I wanted to show how well Fabi is sitting in her chair now - nice and straight!

 

Fabi and S hangin' out :)

Just Because

Fabi is soooo smart. I showed her how to put the balls in the top of the toy to make noise and she picked up on it so fast.
She's really doing well and getting stronger every day.

Sitting in Her High Chair....

and feeding herself!
