A Trip to the Pediatrician

Weight check = 5 lbs. 10 oz. :)

Today Lilly and her brother both had checkups with their pediatrician. Everything looked good! Lilly had 2 vaccines, one in shot form. When the nurse gave her the shot, Lilly's face turned red a few seconds then that was it. No tears at all. (I know people that get their kids every vaccine and others that say they're all bad. I guess I fall in between those views. I've studied The Vaccine Book and from that information have choosen some vaccines I want my kids to have, on a staggered schedule. Especially Lilly, because of her lack of thymus.)

Everyone in the family but me have colds. We are concerned that Lilly might be getting one because she's sounding congested and her nose is starting to run. I hate that. I am trying not to feel worried about her being sick.

Some news that made us cheer today: G., another trisomy 18 little baby girl who is about a month younger that Lilly, had heart surgery today to repair her VSD. She made it through the surgery, though last I heard, is still on the ventilator. (Please say a prayer for G.) We get so excited hearing about other trisomy 18 babies that are living and cheer them on.

Hmmmm ... right now sneaky Lilly is working a sock off her foot. Finally she's caught in the act!
