God is so very good! Last week was a busy week but it was worth it! We went to our first appointment on Tuesday which was Physical Therapy. The main problem she was seeing so far was that Sam keeps her legs stiff. She showed me exercises to do to help relax her legs and so far so good! We also had her 2 month shots on Thursday morning. Shots are horrible but her check up was good. She had gained about 3 pounds since she had gotten home from her last stay in the hospital. That afternoon we had an appointment with Neurosurgery and her doctor was very pleased with how she was healing from her last surgery. He also felt her head and thinks that the one shunt is working so well that she most likely will not need the second shunt!!! YEAH! It is so nice to go to the doctor and get good news. We have now been home 5 weeks and are starting to get in a groove. She is such a blessing. She has discovered her tongue and she smiles all the time. Gwen loves her so much. The first thing she does when she wakes up in the morning or gets home from school is to see Sam. I often find Gwen reading or singing to her if Sam is in her crib. It is a blessing to see the love between them already. I really think the sweetest thing is when Gwen pulls out her new Bible that she received at church for graduating Kindergarten and reads to Sam. Looking forward to spending the summer with my girls and feeling blessed beyond measure! I pray for a blessed and safe summer for all of you too!
I see those pictures and I think, "There was a little girl,/Who had a little curl,/right in the middle of her forehead"...I love that tuft she has! And Gwen couldn't possibly be a sweeter and more loving child. Sam has the best big sister a child could ask for (or parents could hope for)! Tell Gwen to read some for me, too. :)
ReplyDeleteIt does my heart good to hear all the good things, and my prayer is that Sam--that all of you--continue to be touched. My love--Kim.
