Unexpected Results...

My darling, lil Seraph.....
We've been trying to get Searph to take more by mouth.  So, we let her suck on a few of her medicine syringes (no needles involved, these are oral syringes) before pushing the meds via her g-tube.  She sometimes likes the taste of the Argine one (it's a vitamin that keeps her salt levels in-line).  This week, she learned that it's way funner to turn the syringe around and slam it against her mouth.  This squirts all the meds across the room in a big arc.  It's super FUN!!  and it works with the Argine AND any other meds she can get her hands on.  Doh!!

I hope she'll be this happy *after* she learns how to talk.  She's my happiest child, atm...

Good News, Seraph :)

Seraph hangs out on a huge floor mat in the PICU. She's surrounded by toys. She LOVES this toy a ton!! (We might have to get her one..heh) She's rolling onto her sides, reaching for things, sitting up in chairs, smiling tons....

Good News:

--Seraph is on 1/2 liter oxygen (that's less than what she'd been on at home.)

--She took a super long nap today (great because she hasn't been sleeping for more than a few hours at a time)

They're keeping her in the PICU for now. They need to make sure she can tolerate being off the high flow oxygen.

She LOVED playing with her papa. He's just so fun!! Strong Bear came with us today. He wanted to see Seraph. He played with her toys and talked to her a lot. (Later, he threw pennies in the fountain and played on the rocks while daddy brought the car around.)

Look at all those teeth!! Seraph has 2 molar teeth coming in on bottom. She loves her teeth soooo much. She's always touching them or biting toys.

We finally wore Seraph out and she fell asleep in my arms. She never lets me cradle her like this. I hold her on my shoulder alot or in my lap (facing away from me). It was wonderful to snuggle and watch her slow blinks as she drifted off.

Thank you for all your prayers. Seraph really seemed like herself today....and it was wonderful! Can't wait to have her home :)
