November

We have a Vikings Fan!  Thanks Auntie Jenny for the team-themed hat!

We can't believe it's November already in our house!  Excluding today, the weather in Denver has been gorgeous - 70's and sunny - perfect for taking walks in the neighborhood and enjoying the last few days before winter sets in.  Especially since we'll be in Minnesota just in time to brave the frozen tundra for the winter!

Lucy has had follow-up appointments with the pediatrician, neurosurgeon and pediatric surgery units since our last post.  All gave her a great report - we are so glad that we live close enough to walk to her appointments now so we're not spending 3 hours on the road for a 10 minute appointment!  She got a new G-Tube last week - it's still leaking intermittently and a big pain.  I can't wait until she can eat orally instead of having to be fed through her G-Tube.  We have a follow-up swallow study scheduled for Wednesday of this week, so we are hoping that shows her airway is being blocked off when she swallows and that we'll be able to slowly introduce oral feedings.

In addition to doctor's appointments, I went into the office one afternoon this week - leaving Jason on baby duty by himself!  They did great - and I even managed to only text a few times to check up on them!  We've been spending the rest of our time reading, napping and discovering our fun toys.  Overall we are feeling good about where she is developmentally - although she hates tummy time (it can't be too comfortable with a G-Tube and we have to schedule it when she's not eating!).  After a short bump in the road after daylight savings time, Lucy's been doing a great job of sleeping through the night and we're starting to figure out her daily nap schedule.
