A quick update
That’s Namine napping on the couch, on top of her piggy pillow. She fell asleep watching “Scooby Doo Meets Batman” for God only knows how many times. (I can tolerate that – and the other Scooby Doo videos she has – a little better than Dora or Elmo.) She was feeling much better last night,…

Pool therapy, again
An alternate title for this post could be “crossing our fingers.”

An apple a day
It’s been an almost immeasurably long time since Namine had last had an apple. It’s not that she doesn’t like them; far from it, she loves apples. But she couldn’t eat them, for fear of choking. The skin, especially, posed a problem. But before Namine’s cleft palate was repaired, she could not eat very much.…

Appointments today
Namine had to get blood drawn and then pay a visit to the endocrine clinic today. I think it’s safe to say that she knows the hospital, and she thinks that it usually means pain. (I wonder where she got that idea.) I suspect she’ll sleep well at nap time.

Feeling more like herself
Namine is in bed now, but she is not asleep. Oh no, far from it. I had quite a time trying to figure out what my two year old wanted, exactly. It turned out she wanted her mobile animals back on her mobile (they have been off for quite a while; they have been since…

Home once again
We are home from the ER. It was not the longest night we’ve spent there, but it was long just the same. After being there for five hours, we finally got the x-ray results; they came back negative. Namine has not sustained any breaks; the diagnosis is that she is just sore from the fall.…

On boundaries
One of the people I follow on Twitter posted yesterday posted (and I’m more or less paraphrasing, since I can’t find at the moment the original tweet), “a child without boundaries is a child with much stress.” I’d like to chime in here.

Back home from the hospital
Namine came home from the hospital today. Much has happened, most of which I’ve already talked about – her stoma closure, her foot surgery, and the upcoming re-casting. And now we’ve got even more: g-tube removal!

Sitting up by herself
I had the opportunity to see Namine sit herself up all by herself last night.

A trip to the pumpkin farm
While everybody else sat at home watching some boring game, we took Namine to a pumpkin farm. She got to pick out her own little pumpkins, we took a hay ride, got lost in a corn maze, and picked out some large pumpkins, too. I think it’s safe to say that we had more fun…

On growth and caudal regression
Namine seems to be doing well. She’s happy, active, and she’s keeping up with her usual appetite.
