Developments

Here's a happy post after all that bad news. I just want to update y'all on all the new things Katelyn's doing. Although, some of these things she's been doing for a while, I haven't posted about them.

Katelyn is doing a really good job of sitting on her own now. She can entertain herself for a while now sitting up and playing with her toys.




She's also working really hard at learning to crawl. Any day now, she'll be all over the house!


Another thing she is doing is pulling her self up on her knees.

And then there is my favorite new development. When I come to pick her up from day care, I walk into her room and stand there till she notices my presence. Once she notices me, she rocks back and forth with excitement, smiles really big and lets out a big squeal. I call her my little pterodactyl when she does that because that's what she sounds like. It's the best part of my day. I remember when I first took her to day care and how hard it was. Then I couldn't wait to go see her, but then when I would pick her up, of course, her emotions didn't change. Even though that's normal, in fact... Anything else would be abnormal, it was still disappointing. I couldn't wait till she got excited to see me. Now that she does, it was so worth the wait.

No More Being Sick, Please!

This house has had enough of being sick! After a round of steroids in her breathing treatments, Katelyn's lungs finally cleared up from the RSV about a week and half ago.

We did get to get out last weekend to go to a birthday party and shopping. That was just a little break before the real fun began.

Monday, Billy got strep throat. He had to stay home till Thursday. Before he got well, Katelyn came down with a stomach virus on Wednesday. I stayed home to take care of her since Billy was still sick, then I got it on Thursday just in time for Billy to get well enough to take care of Katelyn. Just as I started to feel better on Friday, Katelyn seemed like she was relapsing, except she had other symptoms like she sounded horse and pitiful. Afraid that she may have strep too, we took her to the doctor first thing this morning. She did not have strep, but she has thrush and an ear infection and possibly still a little bit of her stomach virus. Apparently you are prone to getting thrush when you have steroid breathing treatments.

Hopefully, Billy has dodged the stomach virus.
