Well once again we have been shown just how faithful God is. Emmy had her blood drawn on Tuesday of this past week. I was dreading it because the last time we had it done the lab tech was not very good at drawing an infants blood. It took a good 20 minutes of her screaming before the tech finally got enough. I know it hurts Emmy and is tiring for her, but it is also emotionally tiring for me. When we got there this Tuesday morning, the day crew had just gotten to work (these are the ones we were used to!). There were 4 of them all crowded around Emmy just talking to her and making over her painted toe nails! They pricked her heel and within about 2 minutes had all the blood they needed! Emmy never flinched, she just talked the whole time! It was such a relief. Those girls are awesome and we will definitely not have it drawn again unless they are there! Dr Bock called me Friday afternoon. As I said in the previous post, we had been adding rice cereal to her bottles to help with reflux and also as a protein challenge to her. Technically, her levels should increase with the increase of protein. Her previous level was 7.0.....this weeks level was 6.5! PTL! Dr Bock was happy with this and said we will just check again in about 2 months! He wants her to have been on baby food for a good 4 weeks before we recheck. I called my pediatrician Friday night and told him the news. He just laughed and said "All I can say is that baby girl has a slew of people praying for her because she's not doing anything that was expected!" So Thank you Thank you Thank you to each and everyone that has prayed for her. Please keep them coming. We are winning the battle so far, but it is not over yet.
Emmy has become so much fun lately. She's really starting to get a personality. She is such a good baby. I love watching her smile and talk to her animals on her swing. She also just smiles at Titus. It's so sweet! Titus becomes more in love with her everyday. He has to be by her 24/7. Bless her heart, she just lays there and lets him mess with her!
Titus has been in swimming lessons this past week. We are doing the ISR lessons. We started them back in March because I wanted to have them done before Emmy came. You have to go everyday for 10 minutes for about 6-8 weeks. We did 5 weeks in Feb/March but had to take a break because of ear infections/teething. We got tubes in April and then I had Emmy, so this has been our first chance to finish. I really wanted to finish the lessons because of mom and dad having a pool. I just wanted to know he had some knowledge of swimming. He is doing so good. He loves swimming under water and he has learned to flip to his back. We probably have about 2 weeks left before he graduates the program. If you have a small child, you should definitely check this program out.
Well gotta get everyone ready for church! Have a great day! Love to all!
