| Lucy's "smile" face |
I cannot believe that Lucy had her 15th esophagus dilatation today! It had been 5 1/2 weeks since our last one - stretched out from 4 weeks last time. As you may remember, we have been stuck at a size 10 for quite a while now. Well, not anymore!! We were able to get to the first (of three) stages on a size 12 today.
Lucy did great - she has a new friend that she LOVES in the form of a little Elmo doll from grandma and grandpa that she brought with her today and hugged pretty much all morning long. I have a feeling that today was not Elmo's last trip to the hospital!
We are about one year out from her first dilatation and even when I get impatient at her seemingly slow progress, I need to remind myself where we were a year ago - Lucy was eating step 1 baby food and could only handle a few spoonfuls at a time. I remember when she ate her first Cheerio - I was so happy for her but horrified that she might choke on it, even thought it was tiny! She is still a long ways off from "normal" eating, but is making great, great strides and we are so happy for her!
