Megan has had a battle the last few months with bronchitis, it took her the longest time ever to get over it and she is still struggling a bit. She still needs oxygen at night, but she is fine without it during the day. She is happy as ever and smiles all the time. Since we switched her food, she has a lot less tummy problems and is spitting a lot less too. She is not gagging as much and that is a triumph!
Easton has had his battles with pneumonia. Very scary stuff for a rhizokid. He toughed it out though and is now oxygen free! Woo Hoo! He is such a fighter and does so with a smile on his face for his Momma. How can I put into words how much his smile means to me? Impossible, but if you're a momma then you understand and I won't have to.
Raegan has had her battles with ear infections, coughs, and sore throats. We had quite the setback with her eating solids through her mouth because of her not wanting to swallow, due to a sore throat. She isn't quite back on track yet, but she is eating all of her formula through her bottle without the need for supplementing at night through a tube. I am VERY happy with this, she is much prettier without a tube in her nose, and she much prefers it!
I have gotten a swing for the babies that has been so much fun for them:
They absolutely love to swing and now that they are oxygen free they can enjoy it even better, (without the tubes!) It was the best $60 investment I've ever made. Their smiling faces and their laughter is priceless.
We are now waiting for the weather to warm up a bit so that we can spend much needed time outdoors soaking up the sun (come on Vitamin D!)
Raegan has a bit of the sniffles (darn spring colds), so we are inside bound for the time while I try to help her fight this lastest irritation.
Raegan's therapy is going well and she makes improvements every day. She is getting very good at controling her head and she is also very proud of this, her huge smiles when she does it gives her away everytime. Her legs are getting straighter and she is becoming very good at batting and trying to grab object with her cute itty bitty hands. She laughs at herself sometimes and that is a priceless treasure for me also. She loves her floor gym and has a great time playing in it.
Megan is talking to me at the moment, and I'm not sure if she wants me to post what she is saying or not, so maybe I will leave that to her, I know she loves to play on the computer when I am not looking. Easton taught her and cheers her on! So be on the watch for posts from Megan and Easton as I'm sure they have plenty to say!
