Merry Christmas !!!
I can't believe an entire year has gone by. It's been a year since the girls came home from the hospital. They're 14 months old today. Over the past few days they've cut their top two teeth and are going through a growth spurt. Since the day they've come home they've never eaten more than 4 ounces and now they're at 6 ounces with solid foods twice a day. They are rolling over all the time now. Bree still isn't holding her bottle-she not ready yet. We go next week to the neurosurgeon to find out if they can come out of their helmets. It seems like it was yesterday when we were waiting for them to come off the Apnea monitors.
6 Months Seizure Free!!! Bree continues to do well on the Keppra while Paige continues med. free. I always wonder if Paige's development is progressing quicker than Bree because of the meds. It's so hard not to compare. When I look at them they seem so happy; that's all that is important. I still dream of the day when they can look me in the eyes and smile.
Our holiday was spent with family. We were able to swap the kids bedrooms so the girls could have the larger room. Connor got new furniture for his big boy room. Everyone is happy now even though it's a little chaotic. It's amazing how many toys will fit in one living room. Between the two high chairs, two bouncy chairs, activity centers, Connor's hot wheel tracks and toys it looks like a day care.
Our only wish for the new year is continued freedom from seizures, getting caught up on all the medical bills, and for the girls to be walking by this time next year. It may be a bit unrealistic but even if they were sitting unassisted we would take it. Check out the photo album link for all our holiday photos.
