Home On The Range

Life is good. We have a Haddie at home! She is adjusting pretty well. The first couple of nights were pretty restless but last night she did better. She really enjoys bottle feeding and sleeping in her swing. We also gave her a bath yesterday which she somewhat enjoyed. All in all we are having a good time learning how to be parents.

Today we met with our pediatrician, Dr Tomlinson. We really liked him and had a good visit. His main goal for Hadassah is to get her off her NG feeding tube so she can gain weight better. We will be meeting with a speech therapist next month to work more on her feeding and hopefully by then she will have made some progress. He also said our main priority is to keep her infection free. he said that we really need to avoid crowds at all cost. If Haddie were to contract RSV or some other illness it would really set her back. So we won't be taking her out very much the first month at home. Visitors will be welcome but will need to wash before holding her and probably no kid visits just yet either.

Sometimes it's hard to believe that we are actually home. We are very blessed. Please keep praying for Haddie. And we hope you can meet her soon.
