Roller Coaster

Life with Bella is uncertain, much like a roller coaster.  There are the good times and there are the bad times, but always there is the love.  We love you Bella!

Right now is a good time.  Bella is doing great!  Her pneumonia is gone.  Now that she is eating directly in her small intestines, she is no longer refluxing, therefore no longer aspirating.  I wonder how much energy she was using just on GERD and aspirations because my baby hasn’t even been home a week and look at what she is doing…….

She rolled over!!!!!!!

She is having tummy time – for the first time in her almost 10 months of life.

 

I can’t believe it!  She rolled.  She is kicking her legs.  She is moving her arms.  She is acting like a baby!  She lifted her head.  She no longer sleeps all day long.  Is this my baby?  My Arabella?  WAHOO girl!

She is getting off the vent – we are up to 2 hours a day – and sating in the upper 90s.  This kid had double pneunomia last week?  You are amazing kid!

I'm tearing all up right now. It doesn't help when my Paul Cardall is playing in the background. I just can't believe how amazing our kids are. How they jump back from illness. They are truly an inspiration.
