Week One at Home

Thursday we went to see Dr. Law for Emma Kate's follow-up visit. Her x-ray was clear: NO FLUID has accumulated since her tube was taken out! Hurray! She has been ordered to stay on Portagen for another three weeks and then we will start Similac.

Things have started to get back to normal around here. Emma Kate is still sore sometimes, but for the most part, she doesn't seem to be in much pain. She is enjoying her toys, playing with her sister, watching herself in the mirror. She is getting her strength back, too. For a little more time every day we are putting her on her tummy and letting her sit in the Bumbo. She doesn't like to sit in it for long (I think it hurts her side still) but she is working up to where she used to be. Things are going great now and for the most part, EK is so happy all day. I think she knows that she is home.
