In the last few weeks, Amber has come a long way. We've been home for over 3 months... I can't believe it. I've realized that ambulance and fire trucks scare me or just the ones coming close to our house. I also realized that "normal" is not as "normal" as I thought. The first two kids did not come with a manual but they did a lot on their own. They ate, rolled around, seat up, picked things up to put in their mouths, ate by the ounce and found their toes all on their own. Amber has to learn how to do the basic things including her toes and we get to teach her.
She started with just drops in her pacifier and now she drinks one ounce at every meal when she's awake, she takes the rest via feeding tube. Everyday she gets stronger, rolls from tummy to back and side to side. We are still trying to get her to go from back to tummy. She had a few more vaccines last week including the flu shot which they want everyone at the house to have plus the H1N1 when it's available.
We've added a new doctor to her list for her feet or I should say toes but like all the rest we have to wait and see what happens naturally before he can actively do anything. Dr. Song her Ophthalmologist will be doing a procedure on her right eye to remove the scar tissue. It is possible for her to get a lense in her right eye since it continues to get scar tissue, we will know more on Monday, October 12th, the day of her surgery. We don't know if she will need to stay over night, it will all depend on how she does during and after surgery. Please keep her in your prayers and send all your positive energy her way. Surgery scheduled for 9am. Thank you.
