No new updates on Lydia, so I'm bombarding you with pictures! She continues to do well, we're just waiting on her breathing to slow down a bit. That's proving to be a bit more difficult for her since she is still so small, 6 lbs 2 oz, and she has laryngomalacia. It means her larynx is a little floppy and causes her to sound raspy or squeaky when she breathes. 85% of babies grow out of this and the other 15% need a minor surgical procedure. She's doing well with the oral stimulation exercises the Occupational Therapist is doing with her, as well as her neck strengthening exercises. Doing well means she's improving despite the angry faces and wailing while the OT sticks her finger and pacifiers in her mouth and cheeks. I'd wail too!
Just showed the kids the pictures. You guys look great! Keep up the good work Lydia!
ReplyDelete6 lbs 2 oz! You are getting bigger, Miss Lydia Rose! Is that *almost* a smile I see three photos up on the right?
