I've been so busy lately planning the wedding so I am finally taking time to update everyone on the girls. All is well on the home front. Last week we took the girls for a CT and MRI in Orlando. Paige's CT went better than expected...Arnold Palmer wanted to sedate her and requested that she fast(meaning no food for 21 hours). Pete wasn't too happy about that, so we were able to reschedule at a different facility that does not require sedation. After 5 minutes Paige was done with her CT and did great. Bree had a MRI...see cried the whole time...who wouldn't...it's so loud! We see the neurosurgeon on August 25 to see how everything looks.
Paige continues to thrive and Bree continues to do her best. Last week I spoke the the Speech Therapist at First Steps and she said the Paige's speech level is at her corrected age level and sees no need for therapy at this time. She will do a full assessment with both of the girls in October. Bree is finally sleeping throught the night and we have notices she's more alert during the day now. Sitting for Bree doesn't seem to be something in the near future but I work with her everyday...stretching and rubbing the stiffness in her hips and legs. She is showing more interest in toys and has even pulled herself to grab them. Her biggest hurdle is her sight. Her left eye is constantly turned inward and we're hoping the neuro-opthomolgist will have something to say about it next month. Paige is...well...Paige! She's very stubborn and if she can't get what she wants she will scream till she does. Everyday I am picking up the dog bowls because she loves to play in them. We have to keep Connor's bedroom door shut because she's always getting into something, and the countless times I have to go in her room and tell her to lay down and go "night night".
Everyday is an adventure with the girls and everyday I wake-up wondering what they will do today!
