One Month Home

Swimming lessons!  She loves "earning" her goggles every week by putting her face in the water.
We've been home from the hospital for a month!!

Lucy is doing very well compared to a month ago.  Her happy demeanor is definitely back.  Her stomach issues are probably about 70% better.  She still needs a laxative and protonix (acid reducer) a few times a week to keep bloating / stomachaches away and stay regular and she throws up randomly (which completely freaks me out because I am convinced she'll be back in the hospital!).

We've been trying to keep the girls isolated, so have let Lucy go to preschool, swimming lessons and one birthday party...so far they've stayed healthy but we are getting a little bit of cabin fever on the weekends.  If it were up to me, we'd live in a bubble, but that really is no way to live life, so we are trying to balance risk with everyday life.  I figure if anywhere is prone to germs, it's preschool!!
Jumping with daddy at the trampoline park for her friend Cameron's birthday party!

We've also been very rigid about handwashing, eating more fruits and vegetables, experimenting with probiotics and other fermented foods, prunes and a variety of other natural digestive support.  We have a follow-up with her GI doctor in a few weeks!

Other than that, we are busy making Valentines, chasing after a crawling Ruby and enjoying some time outside when the weather permits.

Thanks for your continued support.  We are so thankful to have our little family back together and healthy!!
