Well the past 2 days with Miss Bella have been very rewarding... She tried to bottle feed for the first time yesterday. Our expectations were low for the first time but she did it AND did it better than we could have hoped! She LOVES her bottle and more importantly her food. She had an evaluation today to make sure she was doing it correctly and to get the okay to continue. She finished the whole bottle today and did excellent! She can now bottle feed once during the day and once during the night. I had never really thought about how much it takes to eat and breathe but she can do both for now so that is huge!
Today Miss Bella also got to try hydrotherapy with Miss Tasha. It was spa day! She sat in a nice warm bath with bubbles and I got to give her infant massage. She was a little skeptical at first but she sure got use to it and again responded great! We will do this therapy twice a week on Mondays and Fridays. I can't wait to post the pictures of the progression of this! I have tons of new photos of our beauty but we have had to relocate for the past few weeks and I don't have the things I need to upload. The relocation story is a whole new blog...We will get back to that one :)
Tomorrow Bella begins to taper off of the steroids so the true test of her progress remains to be seen. However this time we go into it knowing the possibilities and carrying with us the experiences of the past few days. I hope to make it thru this "rebound" with full faith and trust in God's plan and with gratitude for the blessings that we have already received.
Much love to you all
