Abi is one tough cookie. She is definitely been on a roller coaster ride these past 4 weeks, but still seems to pull through it. I really want to post more about her in a separate post. So I will say this... She is growing really fast & has definitely accomplished some BIG milestones. We recently finished the tapering of the medication, Topamax. What a relief to have her off of it. She is a new person. You can literally see the sparkle & clearing in her eyes. There used to be a different look in her eyes. A fog you would say. She no longer is in that fog. She is now holding her bottle all on her own. Pushing up on her hands. She enjoys rocking back and forth while on her hands and knees (with the help of Dave & I).
She is using both hands at the same time. Holds onto things with BOTH hands, & transferring items from one hand to the other. She loves to look at pictures, especially of Lyvie. When she sees a picture of her, she will look at me, back to the picture, tilt her head, smile, jabber at it, & then reaches for it. That is another milestone, REACHING. She now will hold out her arms when she wants us. It is such an amazing feeling to see her have all these feelings & emotions. She also is going through the attachment stage. As annoying and hard as it can be, it is such a relief to see her go through it. And now she is recognizing people she knows and people she doesn't. She shys away from the people she doesn't know or doesn't like (the nurses). Some of you may know it as, "Stranger Danger". And she recently has become very attached to her dad! She gets so excited to see him when he comes home. Our little girl has definitely blossomed. She is our little miracle. And we can testify of those miracles.
